Comeback idea

A retail beacon kit that lights up shop aisles and sends helpful offers to shoppers' phones as they walk by.

The write-up

ShopBeacon turns a store's walls into a helpful guide, and it's ready for a second act. Stores want to connect with customers in person, and proximity-aware signage fits right in with today's push for smarter, more personal shopping. The name is up for a fresh start, and here's how you'd relaunch it: a small kit of wireless shelf beacons sold to independent shops, ordered from shopbeaconstore.com.
