ABSTRACT:
A system, method and apparatus is presented that provides advertising transmitted from a business to prospective customers that are proximate the business premises via a short-range wireless transmission protocol receivable by personal devices enabled with the short-range wireless transmission protocol. Preferably, the personal devices are already enabled with the short-range wireless transmission protocol. As well, the short-range wireless transmission protocol is preferably Bluetooth™. The advertising may be either only one-way from the business or may be interactive (two-way) between the business and a prospective customer. In the one-way transmission mode, the personal device only receives the advertisement. The advertisement is preferably automatically received and played on the personal device. In the interactive or two-way mode, the personal device not only receives the advertisement, the personal device is able to interact with or respond to the advertisement. In the interactive mode the personal device is thus operative to send information back to the business.
