Getting Ready to Mobile

• There are far more mobile devices than PCs – In Europe alone, there are four times more handsets than PCs

– In some countries, there are more handsets than people

• Mobile lets you reach people all across the world – Many of whom may never own a PC

– It’s not just in the U.S., it’s global

• The vast potential of the mobile web is due to the way people

think about and use their mobile devices – They are always on

– They are always at hand

– They are always personal

– They are rarely shared

• No other marketing medium can say any of these things, much

less all of the above

The Power of Mobile Marketing

• Mobile web is a powerful new medium for achieving all sorts of

marketing goals, including: – Reaching new audiences who may never visit a PC website or spend

hours in front of a TV

– Deepening relationships by finding new ways to reach customers and

new ways to inform or entertain them

– Delivering new services including things you can only do (or would only

want to do) on a mobile

– Demonstrating your brand values: mobile campaigns say you’re young,

innovative and customer-oriented

– Tying in with wider campaigns: completing your integrated campaigns

– Selling stuff: as mobile transactions skyrocket, there’s plenty of

potential to make the sale right from the handset

• In short, there’s not a lot you can’t do with a mobile website and

mobile campaigns

How to Develop a Mobile Strategy

• Determine the communication – Leverage existing channels that you already utilize with customers

• E-mail, direct mail, POS advertising, banners, web site, print

• Get them to interact or respond via their mobile.

• Clearly state the basic steps required to engage with you

• Launch your mobile campaign as an integrated campaign

• Understand the cost – Costs are incurred by retailer and customer

– Multiple MO and MT

• Allow the customer to choose – Customer opts in

– Customer right to privacy

– Clear direction on how to opt out

• Allow the customer to manage the communication – Subscriber has mechanism to tell when/how they receive messages

– Manage/limit messaging to a reasonable number

How to Develop a Mobile Strategy

• Manage the customer data with respect – Data should be used to drive segmentation and personalization and

to tailor the message to the interest of the consumer

– Leads to less perception of spam issues

– Will make the content more relevant and valuable to the consumer

– Commit to not share the consumer information with others

• Make the offer relevant and valuable – Make sure that the offer is something of value in return for the

objective of the communication campaign

• Respect the protocol of communication – State very clear your offer, securely manage the data you are

leveraging and add value/relevance to market

– The more you engage with the customer, the more loyalty and trust

will be created which will enable you to engage with them with mutual

and beneficial outcome

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

• Mistake 1: Treating Mobile Users Like PC Users – Mobile users don’t want to navigate many levels of your website

• Think about the kinds of things you want to do when you are out and

about – You want fast access to relevant information

– You want services that recognize you’re on the move

– You want location-aware, activity-specific experiences

– Limit choices. Take the content that’s relevant to a mobile user and

discard the rest

• Mistake 2: Ignoring Limitations of the Mobile Device – Don’t treat the mobile device like a desktop PC – there are limitations

that marketers need to keep in mind • The screen is smaller - a fraction of the screen size of a PC

• There’s no mouse - moving up/down is fine, but navigating a screen is no

fun

• There’s no printer - so don’t ask people to print things out

• The keyboard is limited - keep the typing to a minimum

• Bandwidth may be restricted - keep pages, images and file sizes small

• Megabytes sometimes cost money

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

• Mistake 3: Failing to Exploit the Device Capabilities – A mobile device can do things that PCs can’t do

• Phone…invite a call (and make it a link)

• Camera...let customers send you their photos or enter picture contests

• Video camera…short films that tie into your brand, campaign themes or

values

• Text messages...ask for short bits of feedback, input, votes, polls, opinions,

blurbs and blog posts or let them easily share your content with friends

• Location-aware...make special offers when users are nearby; lead them to

the nearest shop; trigger instant, location-specific offer

• Micropayment device...there are many ways to make the mobile complete

the transaction on the spot

• Send email...help people alert friends and share their new mobile

experiences

• Music player...share a tune, a podcast or a ringtone

• Video player...show a trailer, promo or full commercial

• Calendar...so people can “mark that date” right away, before they forget

• Browser...so your mobile campaigns can link to proper mobile websites

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

• Mistake 4: Using a .com Name for a .mobi Experience – Your URL says a lot about your mobile website.

– If you use one of the dozens of variations of .com (like

xyz.com/mobile or m.brand.com), you’re sending a message to your

audience before they even visit the site: you’re saying “dotcom

thinking practiced here.”

– A .mobi name says “this site was designed from the ground up as a

mobile experience.”

• Mistake 5: Using Frames and Other Bad Habits – Frames don’t work well in mobile design because most devices don’t

support them, and they cause usability problems

– Think portrait, not landscape

– Use a single column with text that’s left justified.

– Use a second-level domain name like yourbrand.mobi - there are

fewer characters to type so users get to you faster

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

• Mistake 6: Failing to Test the Site for Mobile Readiness – Manually check your site in the real world

– Use an automated checking tool that combs over every line of code

• Mistake 7: Hiding Your Mobile Web Site – Make your site searchable

• You won’t get an entry in the search engines for m., mobile., wap but you

do get one for .mobi – your mobile home page

– Make your site guessable • When customers don’t know they guess “yourbrand.com” and when looking

for your mobile website, they guess “yourbrand.mobi”

– YourBrand.mobi is the most guessable name for mobile sites • It’s also a Trustmark for quality and usability

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

• Mistake 8: Not Actively Promoting Your Mobile Site – Many great mobile sites are largely under-promoted

– Your customers are closer to their mobile device than to a PC

– The more you promote the mobile experience, the more people will

turn to it

– People can only spend time on your site if they know it exists!

• Mistake 9: Running Mobile Campaigns Without a .mobi

Presence – Successful mobile marketing means building a dynamic .mobi and

running campaigns that link to it

– SMS campaigns and banner ads on mobile sites should have a

click-thru to your mobi site

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

• Mistake 10: Serving the Same Content in the Same Way to

Every Mobile Device – The desktop web has one dominant “client” technology: Windows

– Mobile web has thousands of permutations of device, operating

system, chip and firmware

– Content that works perfectly and looks great on one device can crash

or look poor on another

– Create device-aware .mobi sites that serve up content optimized for

each device

– Tools exist to help solve the device diversity problem

Additional Best Practices

• Focus on functionality within the platform • iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, Android, etc

• Make sure there is a match for what their company offers and what

their customers need

• What value am I bringing to the customer with this app? • If none, then results will likely be very counterproductive

• Must be able to answer “What does the customer want?”

• Don’t equate mobile and young consumers • Neilsen published numbers that show there are just as many iPhone

user 55+ years old as there are 13-24

• Applications and strategies must be useful, engaging, and leverage

the capabilities of the device

• Mobile apps should not be just clones of the main company .com

website

• A well designed user interface makes using the application both fun

and functional

Example: Best Buy

• Homepage is neat, well laid out and has been kept simple

• Major categories in the store are represented by images, which

aids quick scanning

• Search box is placed prominently on the page – Underneath, the five menu options allow users to see the latest

deals, review the shopping cart or find a local Best Buy store

• Clicking one of the images will open up the sub-categories – You can normally find the product you want in four or five steps

• Loading a long list of products was slow

• The search option returns accurate results – Lack of options to filter and sort product results is a flaw

Example: Best Buy

• Product pages are very good – Information is clearly laid out and kept simple

• Integrated with Google maps/directions using GPS

• Navigation very slow – even using Wi-Fi

• Login in process/info was same as bestbuy.com

• RewardZone tool within app directed to normal website – Not optimized for mobile

– Separate iPhone app exists for RewardZone

• Idea X simply points to website

• Settings are very intuitive and helpful

• IdeaGiftr is well organized and sleek – Navigation is slow

– Recommendations interesting

• Mix of mobile optimized and traditional web

Example: Pizza Hut

• Mobile and web apps tied to workforce records – System know staffing level at specific location

– Create and delivery time is adjusted based upon workforce at nearest

store

– When store is closed, no orders can be placed until manager logs onto

the system

• Extensive mobile app analytics – Allow them to know which sales are mobile app generated

– Flags purchase pattern changes coming from mobile app

• Useful, engaging and leverages the capabilities of the phone

Example: eBay

• Designed to fit on your small screen and into your pocket

• Optimized for mobile, doesn’t offer the same functionality in the

same way as the desktop counterpart – Keep tabs on your stuff in 'My eBay'

– Search for and view item details

– Bid and Buy it Now

– Pay for your purchases with PayPal

• Offers a better browsing and buying experience and offers a

streamlined version of the 'conventional' eBay

• Web and the mobile site use the same infrastructure and mirror

each other – are in sync and up to date

• Payments - offered the opportunity to create a mobile only PIN,

which makes paying even faster in future

• Text Alerts allows you to stay up to date with the status of the

listing you are bidding on or watching
