How Proximity Radar Marketing is Revolutionizing Offline Retail in Mumbai
KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR MERCHANTS
  • 92% of online ad impressions are wasted on shoppers outside your immediate neighborhood.
  • Proximity radar alerts reach active walkers within 500m radius of your store.
  • Instant counter redemption drives footfall during quiet off-peak afternoon hours.

For decades, local brick-and-mortar merchants across Mumbai—from bustling high-street fashion boutiques in Bandra to electronics hubs in Borivali—faced a daunting challenge: how to capture the attention of thousands of daily pedestrians walking right past their storefronts.

Traditional social media advertising on Meta or Google often sprays ad spend across an entire city or 10km radius. For a local bakery or apparel shop, paying for impressions 15 kilometers away is a classic money pit. Enter Proximity Radar Marketing.

What is Proximity Radar Marketing?

Proximity Radar Marketing combines precise mobile GPS geofencing with real-time push alerts. When an active shopper enters a 50m to 500m walking radius around your storefront, their mobile phone receives a timely notification announcing a active flash deal available right now.

"Instead of hoping customers find your store online, proximity radar turns every pedestrian in your street vicinity into an active walk-in customer within 3 minutes."
