Wearables to Heighten Demand for Local Search: Prepare Now!

Push notifications tied to geo-tagging in wallet apps or iBeacons stand to drive customers to both search and shop locally by reminding users of relevant offers and loyalty programs saved to mobile wallets.

We’re investigating how we can combine location-based mobile offers with interactive content on the Apple Watch.
