Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enabling access to digital content based on geographic locations visited by mobile device users. One method includes receiving a promotion associated with premium digital content, access information, and one or more locations in which the premium digital content is accessible. The premium digital content includes restricted access content and the premium digital content is associated with open access content, determining one or more geo-fences based on the one or more locations, transmitting at least part of the promotion to one or more mobile devices, receiving a geographic location of the one or more mobile devices, determining whether the geographic location of the one or more mobile devices is within at least one of the one or more geo-fences, and transmitting, when the geographic location of the one or more mobile devices is determined to be within the one or more geo-fences, access information for the premium digital content to the one or more mobile devices within the one or more geo-fences.
