This holiday season, retail spending, both online and in-store, could reach new heights. The latest Consumer Confidence Index numbers, which measure consumer sentiment towards buying intentions, haven’t been this high since October 2000, eighteen years ago.

To understand how and when retailers plan to reach holiday shoppers, we surveyed over 260 owners and managers of small-to-medium businesses in the United States. Find insights on:

• Where SMBs will spend their holiday ad dollars
• The influence of geotargeting
• Which digital channels will get the most attention
• Holiday ad spending trends

This PDF contains the slides from the Hidden Secrets of Beacon Data webinar, co-hosted by Reveal Mobile and The Location Based Marketing Association. We share new uses for beacons and never-before-seen data about the audiences bumping into beacons across the US. Brands will see examples of the type of audience data generated by placing beacons within retail locations. Which locations are most visited, which other places do customers visit, what other demographics can we learn? What can beacons tell us about Walmart or Target shoppers? What impact do beacons have on increasing audience data, building retargeting audiences, or driving app downloads? App publishers will hear advertising use cases leveraging both beacon-derived and location-based audience segments.
