I'd say stay away from trying to sell geo-fencing to businesses.

Location triggering reminders is actually a pretty damn useful thing. I can't remember how many times I can't remember to do something until its too late.

Unfortunately, this is something better built into a mobile device from the get-go, and not an add-on. If it was easy to set up, and did push or text notifications that would be nice. Getting the forgetful type to download and configure it will be the biggest challenge.

Yea I agree with pretty much most of what you said. Location triggered reminders are very useful and we are one of the only (if not the only) apps that allows you to create location triggered reminders and share them with friends and family. We think that this is what can set us apart.

We are researching the geo-fencing for businesses because we have been approached by one for setting up a service for their business, so we are looking into whether there is need for other businesses or whether this will just be a consulting job.
