Abstract
Techniques described herein may allow for the registration of demo devices (e.g., for-sale wireless telephones, tablet computers, etc.), and the presentation of content, such as promotional content, for the demo devices. The demo devices may output a beacon via a short-range protocol, which may include unique identifiers of the demo devices. When a customer device approaches a demo device, the customer device may automatically detect the beacon and obtain promotional content regarding the demo device, and present the promotional content to a customer.
