Bluetooth Campaign Targets Theatregoers

avenue_q_bluetooth_story.jpg Square Group has revealed the results of an experiment it has been running with Bluecasting at the Noel Coward Theatre in London. Mobile Marketing Magazine reports.

"The company installed a Bluetooth transmitter from Alterwave in the theatre. When someone with an active Bluetooth device walks past the transmitter, it sends out a message offering them a free video clip from the puppet show, 'Avenue Q', which is playing at the theatre.

In the first seven days of the experiment, says Square Group, 9,595 active Bluetooth devices were detected and sent messages. Of these, 703 people accepted the offer of the video download – an average of 87 people each day."
