Indoor LBS providers offer coupons and discounts through push and pull marketing technologies. These services also provide social information such as ratings and reviews, product videos, and recommended products, thereby improving the shopping experience.
Location-based marketing (LBM), which is a combination of LBS, mobile marketing, and contextual marketing, is widely being used by marketers in different industries. Also, LBA sends product or service promotional messages based on user location. Spending on social media advertising is popular among retailers, where specifically mobile advertising accounts for approximately 8% of the total digital marketing revenue.
Enterprises use location-based apps for targeted advertisements to reach potential consumers in real time. For instance, Baidu, a Chinese web services company, launched a platform for retailers in 2014, which allows them to send advertisements to the smartphones of people in their vicinity. Mobile payment using near field communication (NFC) technology is prevalent in varied industries such as retail. Enterprises analyze mobile payment trends using analytics to create promotional campaigns based on consumer preferences. Also, these enterprises are gaining competitive advantage with the help of analytic solutions. This way LBA provides a convenient and cost-effective medium to reach consumers.

Beacons deployed in a hospital and its vicinity help in monitoring, wayfinding, faster check-ins and admitting activities, real-time equipment registry, asset management, and digital support.
Indoor LBS is primarily used in hospitals to improve operational efficiency and reduce the cost of tracking personnel and monitoring assets. Indoor LBS uses real-time location systems for location analytics and in integration with other clinical systems. It also helps to enhance staff productivity and work efficiency. Companies such as infsoft and Navizon provide LBS in hospitals to ensure operational effectiveness and for process automation management.
Global indoor LBS market by airports
The global indoor LBS market by airports is expected to exceed USD 977 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of over 47%.
