A system and method for providing information utilizing hyper-location to determine what types of or the content of relevant information to display to one or more end users. In various embodiments, the hyper-location is determined from or transmitted by beacons that communicate with portable electronic devices carried by the end users. The hyper-location information may be specific geographic locations of the beacons and or end users or may be specific locations relative to other locations, such as a position within a store or venue.
