Opportunities Considered Preliminary read-out
• Merchant infrastructure and phone capability in place today
• Propositions such as Vodacoms’s call me will require significant back end integration
• Will require NFC enabled phones and a smart poster ecosystem
• Again will require NFC enabled phones
• Will require bar code scanner capability on terminals and ecosystem involving banks
• Make use of existing capability in the high street and back end systems along side significant mobile operator investment in handset subsidy
Focus of today’s discussion

Orange may be able to pull together a commercial proposition but the industry still has a long way to go, operators such as orange need to continue to push on four wider agendas…

‘Voucher redemption in store’ is a short term deliverable proposition with all ecosystem players technically ready to go

‘Voucher redemption in store’ can be more compelling and offer a better UE with the advent of NFC and new ecosystem players

• Advertiser pays per user interaction
• Consumer is targeted at Point of Purchase
• Real time personalisation of offers
• Viral nature of promotion can be encouraged, e.g. pass voucher to friends
• Merchant can learn and adapt the campaign in real time
What is really important is that Orange develop this proposition around the fundamentals of advertising
