Entertainment

People today want a more tailored entertainment experience than ever before. They demand relevant content wherever they are. With Locaid you can give it to them - we allow you to locate over 360 million wireless subscribers, giving you the biggest possible market for mobile media and games, virtual tours, and proximity marketing.
 

Here’s what mobile location data from Locaid can do for you:
 

Mobile Media and Gaming

The mobile gaming market will reach $18 billion by 2014. And location-based games are starting to emerge. These games use the player’s location as a factor. While most location platforms, such as Gowalla or Foursquare, have a gaming aspect where you can win points and badges, newer games use your location in the game itself. Location-based games let you conquer virtual territories overlaid on the real world or battle villains in the streets of your home town.

Only Locaid can give you access to players’ locations no matter what kind of phone they carry (GPS or not) or where they go (indoors or outdoors). Mobile media too is entering a new phase as devices make it harder to control where media is consumed. Location information can play a significant role in securing compliance with the licensing of the digital content.

Virtual Tours Send You Local Business

Amusement park or resort guides and virtual tours can be dynamically customized to deliver audio or multimedia clips based on a customer’s location. This lets the customer quickly become familiar with an amusement park, casino, or resort facilities and their full entertainment offering. Resorts, casinos, amusement parks, or facilities with multiple revenue centers can identify areas with long waiting times and send people in that area promotional messages about nearby activities with shorter wait times to utilize all their attractions more effectively.

Location-Targeted Ads Draw in Like-Minded Customers

Customers can effortlessly gain access to content that highlights nearby restaurants, music venues, and show times. For some music events, for example, people can hear a sample of the band playing at a certain venue within the application. Entertainment check-in allow users to be part of a cultural experience in real-time while engaging with others. Application and web-based tools give users the chance to check-in when participating in entertainment related activities. Attending a concert, a venue, or an event, reading a book, watching a TV show, viewing a movie, and so on. Using social networks in conjunction with location-based services adds another layer to the experience by letting users know if their friends or acquaintances happen to be at the same event.
