Set up Beacons in a designated area, when a user consults your app close to one of them, he will receive a notification.

Buy your Beacons at a manufacturer (for instance Kontakt.io or Estimote). Register them in your back office and assign message sending behaviors to them while using your app. The GoodBarber back office allows you to set the beacon layout you want to use for your beacon fleet. You can also determine the distance below which the beacons will trigger the display of notifications. Once your Beacons are configured, set them up in your shop.
