IN A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT, GROWTH MATTERS
Growth goals and strategies can be vastly different depending on what type or stage of business you’re in. From funding pitch to acquisition road map, S4 helps you develop the optimum strategy for growth.
S4’s utilizes a proven comprehensive framework to think systematically about growth options and to yield practical strategies that produce faster growth.
Companies should select a growth strategy that best fits their capabilities and culture and they must enhance both to adapt to new growth opportunities.
STARTUP
The right business model guides growth and keeps a startup alive. Without growth, any startup will fail. Culture and individual efforts contribute to continued success but a well-crafted plan from an experienced team can help even more. S4 will help you craft the best plan for growth.
POST STARTUP
Once stabilized after startup, most companies focus on sales cycles and annual returns. Growth initiatives can be neglected as the focus shifts to increasing profitability through operational efficiencies. S4 will help you develop a targeted plan and focus effort for continued growth.
STRATEGIC

PROXIMITY SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGY
Proximity technology and proximity solutions are gaining traction across various verticals. Proximity marketing solutions for location-based advertising, allows you to reach consumers in the moment that matters:
Right Message, Right Audience, Right Time, and now, the Right Place.
Proximity technology can be used in concert with beacons, GPS/geofencing, smart tags, NFC, audio, and digital signage. Uses of proximity technology for marketing include distribution of media at concerts, information, gaming and social applications, retail check-ins, payment gateways, and local advertising.
BEACONS AND SENSORS
Beacons, are small, low-cost hardware sensors that use battery-friendly, low-energy Bluetooth connections to transmit messages or prompts directly to smartphones, watches, and wearables. Beacons transforms our mobile devices into proximity-sensors.
Our smartphones know what they’re close to because they can detect the nearby beacon. They can detect that they’re at the front door of a restaurant, or close to a shop at the mall. Beacons will have the same impact on the world that broadband did almost 20 years ago. Beacons are not a hardware play. They are actually a way to distribute software to create the first API layer for the physical world.
FATHOM™ HUBS
FathomTM is a system of network hardware and cloud-services that enables:
- An ability to deploy a remotely manageable, intelligent, location-aware beacon network
- An ability to manage existing beacon deployments
- Data collection on visits to a venue (duration, repeat visits, correlation to other venues, and in some cases demographic profiles)
- Asset tracking – people and things
- Presence detection that can be responded to (e.g. dynamic content on a digital sign)

PROXIMITY DATA MATTERS
Location intelligence drives measurable results!
Data-driven proximity marketing means relevance at all levels. As data identifies segments and niches within a business’s customer base, beacons can trigger personalized context and activations to an entire demographics across a given geography.
Reach consumers with a timely opportunity to save or discover something new — a product or service that’s aligned with their wants and needs — and they’ll welcome proximity-based outreach.
Put proximity data analytics to work in amplifying that effort, and CMOs can improve outcomes, boost conversions and earn customer loyalty, one location-based offer at a time.
