Fußnoten
1
Proxbook is a crowdsourced listing of PSPs that grew out of a realization that any list of beacon providers we captured in these pages would be out of date before the publisher’s CMS could send its pages to the print-on-demand service. Our clunky WordPress database was then adopted by the folks at Unacast, taking the crowdsourced database from 80 PSPs to over 300. So strictly speaking we are the birth parents of www.proxbook.com (which has since been adopted by wealthier parents), not the sibling.

I personally prefer newscasters who have bad teeth and rumpled clothing; it shows they are focused on journalism rather than hairspray and were clearly promoted on that basis.

The beacons enabled a campaign at 237 of Chow Tai Fook’s 2,300+ jewelry stores in China. This drove the presentation of over 24,000 coupons and $16 million of sales revenue during the Chinese New Year. Check out the case study, full of specific metrics, at post.sensoro.com/case-study-for-monetized-beacon-deployment-in-china/.

We have already discussed the multitude of variables, including the chipset technology, but in this case let’s throw caution to the wind in the interest of figuring out the battery requirements at a gross level.
