Hypothetical and Practical Use Cases for Premium Tags

Let’s take a hypothetical example. Imagine ‘ABC Scoops,’ an ice cream truck known for its delicious, artisanal flavors. By using Glympse Premium Tags, ABC Scoops keeps its customers updated in real-time with GPS tracking. As a result, they’ve seen an increase in foot traffic and a surge in social media engagement, with customers eagerly sharing the truck’s location with friends.

Our Premium Tags also work beyond business needs. In a real life example, the city of Georgetown, MA used our Premium Tags to collect thousands of toys for children in need and a whole lot of holiday cheer throughout their community. Throughout the 10 hour day, residents can use Glympse Premium Tags to see Santa’s location as he makes his way around town. That way, they can be ready to bring out their toys when he reaches their area. No need to wait out in the cold or worry about missing out — everyone is able to get their donation to Santa right on time.
