NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rouse Properties, Inc. (NYSE:RSE), a national owner and operator of premium regional enclosed malls, today announced it has entered into a partnership agreement with Sonic Notify to install beacons in all 34 of its mall locations across the country. Sonic Notify Beacons are small devices that trigger relevant content, advertising and promotions to consumers via their mobile device based on their immediate location. Mobile apps that have integrated Sonic Notify’s Software Development Kit (SDK) detect a beacon’s signal and direct the user’s device to trigger proximity aware actions.
Rouse’s installation of Sonic’s beacon technology in its malls will allow retailers and advertising partners to instantly send personalized greetings, product recommendations and in-store discounts and coupon offers to consumers in precise locations in the mall. The technology overlays content onto an inaudible signal that can be unobtrusively played over an in-store PA system or can be delivered through audio and Bluetooth via the beacons. Sonic Notify’s SDK operates on all iOS and Android devices.
“This partnership with Sonic Notify reflects our continuous efforts to modernize and enhance the shopping experience across our entire portfolio by leveraging the latest cutting-edge technology,” said Andrew Silberfein, president and chief executive officer of Rouse Properties. “We are excited to be the first mall operator in the nation to utilize Sonic Notify’s interactive mobile marketing technology that creates added value for our visitors, drives increases in sales for our retailers, and simultaneously provides Rouse with valuable customer behavior insights and new revenue streams.”
