1. A system for passively monitoring user devices, the system comprising:
a media hub device comprising one or more physical processors programmed by one or more computer program instructions to:
passively monitor, at a point of sale terminal, one or more user devices on a wireless communication channel;
obtain identification information for the one or more user devices, the identification information including at least first identification information for a first user device;
identify a location data for the one or more user devices based on a received signal strength via a triangulation and strength of one or more radio-frequency signals in the wireless communication channel;
determine whether the first identification information is associated with information indicating that a retailer-specific or system-specific client application is installed on the first user device;
transmit, based on identifying a media targeted for the first user device, the media to the first user device via the wireless communication channel, wherein: the media hub device includes a printer associated with the point of sale terminal;
wherein in response to determining that the first identification information is not associated with information indicating the first user device has installed the retailer-specific or system-specific client application, the one or more physical processors are configured to:
store, by the media hub device, a transaction information associated with the first user device,
identify a subsequent visit to the point of sale terminal by the first user device;
transfer a media associated with the transaction information to the first user device, and instruct the printer to print a barcode that directs the at least one of the user devices to download a mobile retailer application,
wherein in response to determining that the first identification information is associated with information indicating the first user device has installed the retailer-specific or system-specific client application, the one or more processors are configured to identify media targeted for the first user device;
transmit the media to the first user device while a transaction is pending;
transmit a second media to the first user device via the wireless communication channel when the transaction is complete; and
transmit an electronic receipt to the first user device via the wireless communication channel, wherein the second media is embedded within the electronic receipt or is provided separately from the electronic receipt.
