Our app lets you receive notifications from all your favourite locations when you are strolling in your High Street, Shopping Centre or favourite little back lane boutique stores.

Never walk by and miss that super promotion, great discount or free gift offer ever again.

You could also receive more special app only offers/promotions/competitions when you are in-store.

Your local coffee shop may be offering a free coffee with every piece of cake.
Your favourite fashion store may have T-shirts half price when buying those pair of jeans.

Your favourite retailers are not restricted to offering just deals, we want our app to release their creativity.
You could be receiving notifications about a free make-up session, tickets to an exclusive gig or an invite to a new Yoga studio opening night.

A new world of shopping and experiences is waiting for you to walk by, via your very own miBeacon app.

How does it work
Retailers place our small bluetooth low energy beacon (or several) in their stores. These beacons send notifications to you. When you open the notification you receive a custom offer/promotion/discount or other delight from the retailer.
A message you receive whilst walking by may be generic whereas a message you receive in-store could be more focussed.

Of course, you decide whether or not to follow up on the offers from the retailers.

Data charges
Notifications are delivered via Bluetooth 4.0 (aka iBeacon) and are free. Messages received on your phone may use a small part your data allowance, unless you are connected to wi-fi. To receive notifications you will need to have bluetooth turned on.
As a note; continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
