What is CARROT?
CARROT is an app that allows merchants to connect directly and immediately with the customers most likely to buy their products or services, at the very moment they are ready to buy. It is truly the next generation of local marketing.
How does CARROT work?
CARROT combines the strength of Apple’s Passbook, HealthKit and iBeacon technology with the reach of Facebook to create an innovative savings experience for shoppers. Once downloaded onto an iPhone or iPod Touch, people receive real-time notifications of relevant offers on their lock screen once they come within 200 feet of a CARROT-registered business.
What is iBeacon technology? Why do I need a beacon?
Beacons use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to transmit information to the lock screens of iPhones and iPods with the CARROT app once the user is within 200 feet of a beacon. Because beacons are used, it is not necessary for customers to utilize GPS (which requires significantly more battery life). CARROT beacons are programmed specifically for the CARROT app and cannot be utilized for any other purpose. Beacons are available to merchants through CARROTpass.com.

Since 2009, consumer use of all other media,
including TV, radio, print, and even online, has
declined while use of mobile technology has
increased more than five-fold (and is now second
only to TV in terms of overall media use!)
And in May 2015, Google announced that – for
the first time – smart phones are now being used
for searches more than desktops and tablets
combined.
Mobile technology is here to stay… and it is
essential for EVERY business to have a
comprehensive mobile marketing strategy!
