Infographic - Phone ads. 'Location-based marketing through Geofencing'

[SteveG]

" In the simplest terms, geofencing is when a retail advertiser zaps an offer to consumers' cell phones when they stand near that brand's store—as long as they've previously opted in to receive such promotions."

This will not be pleasant for those who pay to _receive_ text messages, like many in this country.
Opt out, and you are only out two charges. Opt in, and you will be dimed into penury.
This must be another brilliant idea from TPC. (TPC? See "The President's Analyst".)
