Jewelry retailer Alex and Ani has installed beacon technology in all of its 40-plus stores with the help of mobile marketing startup Swirl, sending targeted messaging and deals to shoppers’ phones based on their location in a shop. Another startup, Shopkick, said this morning that its beacon technology would be up and running in more than 1,000 retail stores by the end of March. Macy’s and American Eagle Outfitters have already installed the technology in some stores; other Shopkick retail clients include Best Buy, Target and J.C. Penney.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
