Considering an example of a retail store for us to get understanding about how exactly proximity marketing works with iBeacons.

• At the storefront or in aisles with ongoing offers the beacons are deployed
• BLE signals (combinations of numbers and characters) transmitted by beacons.
• Bluetooth- enabled smartphones detect these signals.
• The ID number attached to the signal is then sent to the cloud by the smartphone.
• Actions like notification about any discount, a simple greeting and much more like this are assigned to the ID number. It is the server that responds after checking the action assigned to ID number.
• These notifications drive customers to a relevant place.
