CHOCOLATE BAR BECOMES MOBILE APPBlippar, the provider of a mobile app with augmented reality, recently celebrated its official launch by teaming up with the confectionery company Cadbury to create a game that incorporates product packaging. Blippar transforms the packaging into a virtual attraction and works together with brands who wish to market their goods in this way. Cadbury has now integrated a game which can be played after taking a photo of the packaging. The game then appears virtually on the photo and players have to tap as many quacking cartoon ducks as they can.

UNDERGROUND STATIONS AS SUPERMARKETSThe British supermarket chain Tesco has entered the Korean market under the name "Homeplus" and transformed entire underground stations into virtual supermarkets. Large displays, designed like the shelves in stores, present the virtual goods to customers, who can do their shopping on their smartphones. People simply have to scan the QR code of the chosen product and it is then placed into their online cart. The best thing about this service is that the goods are delivered to the door right after customers reach their homes.

FACEBOOK 'LIKES' VIA BANNER ADThe agency MEDIAZONE, a specialist in social media marketing, has recently developed a banner ad with a 'Like' feature. Up to now, clicking on a banner ad has led to the advertiser's website or to their Facebook page. As more and more companies now have their own Facebook fan pages, the creative minds at the agency have come up with a way of directly linking the banners ads with Facebook. Users can now click on the Facebook Like button in the banner ad and thereby immediately become a fan of the site.

PHOTOGRAPHING PRODUCTS IN SUPERMARKETS FOR MONEYGoSpotCheck helps companies optimise the marketing of their products in supermarkets by paying users of its iPhone app for photos of supermarket shelves displaying products belonging to the company. Various criteria, such as focusing on price or placement, can be selected for users to pay special attention to. This allows companies to cheaply and flexibly check up on their products.
