iBeacons™ for Venues Drives Increased Visitors and Sales
Ottawa, Ontario (PRWEB) June 11, 2014 -- Purple Forge today announced that iBeacons™ are now supported as a feature of their award-winning Mobile Venue Solution (MVS).
The Purple Forge MVS is a cloud-hosted mobile service for venue operators. All major smartphone platforms are supported. Venue operators specify branding, content and have the option to use the Purple Forge MVS content management system directly for updates, or engage Purple Forge for full-service operations support.
The Purple Forge MVS is tailored for deployment in a wide range of venues, including malls, retail stores, museums, hospitals, events and stadiums. iBeacons™ will allow venue operators and their tenants to deliver engaging, context-relevant information, special offers and innovative traffic-generating contests to customers.

The Purple Forge MVS offers an engaging interactive visitor experience, which can drive increased foot traffic and increased sales. “ said Brian Hurley, CEO of Purple Forge. “The Purple Forge MVS is highly complimentary with public WiFi deployments, providing the opportunity for venues to monetize their public WiFi deployments in addition to offering increased tenant amenities and leasing value.“
