  • Proximity marketing is an instant and personalized solution that helps to engage consumers and understand their buying behavior which enables buyers to make purchasing decisions.
  • Proximity marketing is also known as hyper-local marketing. This marketing tactic helps consumers get notified of offers, coupons, and discounts allowed by certain stores or shops specifically designed for that particular individual. Personalized advertising is restricted to the specific local area based on the technologies like Bluetooth, beacon, WiFi, geofencing, near-field communications (NFC), and QR codes.

  • PMS and integration of multiple properties across the globe
  • It is well known that industries are moving with the flow of advanced technology and this is causing disruption in their daily business operations and processes.
  • At present, there is no alternative to digital disruption and businesses large and small must adapt to the changes that are occurring
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Technology has been a key driver for hospitality businesses for several decades and it has drastically transformed how the industry operates
  • Every industry has specific software applications that are unique and integral to the management of their daily operations. In the hotel industry, property management systems (PMS) or hotel operating systems are platforms that “enabled a hotel or group of hotels to manage front-office capabilities, such as booking reservations, guest check-in/check-out, room assignment, managing room rates, and billing” ( Oracle, 2019).
  • These systems have also evolved to incorporate functionality that supports food and beverage operations, housekeeping and maintenance management, as well as revenue management.
  • Applications such as Cloudbeds, Preno, Hostaway and Lodgify have become a staple in most hotels today, allowing for the efficient management of hotel fun ctio ns.
  • Similarly, in the restaurant industry, practitioners often rely on restaurant management systems (RMS), POS software designed for the food service industry to make bookings, capture transactions, record orders and manage inventory (FinancesOnline, 2019).
  • At the broader tourism management level, GDS, also known as automated reservation systems or CRS, are computerised networks that centralise services and provide travel related transactions for products such as airline tickets, hotel rooms and car rentals ( Kelly, 2018)
  • GDS serve as a conduit between travel bookers and suppliers and help communicate product offerings, pricing and availability to travel agents and online booking engines.
  • Their functionality and applications are often limited to a specific industry (e.g. hotel, restaurant and airline)
  • Internally, cloud computing allows managers to access data collected from proprietary applications (e.g. RMS, PMS) which can be shared across departments.
  • This data can be accessed from anywhere around the world on demand

    This paper discusses the role of PMS, POS, and GDS in the hospitality and tourism industry. It identifies key digital literacy and employability skills that students and educators need to develop to better understand and negotiate the changing, digitally focused landscape of the hospitality and tourism sector.

  • The downside to using the QR code strategy is getting users to make the initial interaction and additional print material may be necessary. 
  • Businesses can utilize their free WiFi offering as a new channel for marketing directly to customers.
  • NFC tag uses don’t stop at the point of sale system, in fact, the knowledge gained from each purchase and interaction further improves the insights businesses have, meaning over time, customer segmentation and messaging become more focussed.
  • The definition of geofencing in proximity marketing is defined as the ability of a company to micro-target people based on the places they go.
  • For example, a sportswear brand may want to target those at a sports event and so will draw their geometric radius around the venue of the event. Patrons that attend with their devices ‘location-enabled sensors’ settings turned on are allowing their GPS to share their location data with their service provider (SP).
  • The convenience store chain attached BLE beacons to trolleys, and baskets to track customer movements when entering, leaving, and moving around its stores. With the movable and planted roof beacons in place, Nisa was able to accurately collect a large pool of geometric insights that fed into one central cloud for further analysis. From these gatherings, Nisa will have been able to understand customer dwell times and see which product aisles were most popular.
  • Geo-loyalty is a method of utilizing proximity marketing methods to boost customer loyalty and drive app usage for higher conversion and engagement rates.

    This article is about Proximity Marketing and the many different specific ways it may be applied. These applications include: QR Codes, WiFi, NFC, RFID, Geofencing, and BLE Beacons. In all of these cases, it is vital to proximity marketing that there be an end-user mobile device (such as an iPhone or Android) as well as location-based technologies. We are all fairly familiar with QR codes as those have become widely used during the pandemic. What we may not have considered though, is how logging into a WiFi gives a lot of information about you to the business, as well as a future means of communicating with you (assuming you made an account and/or gave them important information such as an email address). Geofencing is also really cool because it allows companies to set up a virtual boundary that collects data from mobile devices that pass through that boundary. This allows a business to truly know what kinds of consumers go in and out of whatever establishment the geofence outlines.
