63. Mobile advertising
Usually you can choose between pay per click model or a
impression model, it depends on the provider you use.
Generally the “pay per click” model price depends on an
auction.
The same as the traditional Google Adwords model for the web
search.
As higher is the price you are able to pay for a click, the higher the
number of clicks that you will get, basically because your banners
will appear much more times than other advertisers that will pay a
lower price than yours.

will save your money.

68. Geolocation & Geotargeting
Geolocation and geotargeting are marketing techniques
based on physical location of the mobile device via GPS
Only allowed in GPS enabled smartphones.
If the device is not GPS enabled and the mobile user connects
to the internet, the location can be detected by the IP, but this
method is not good if you need a precision location
These are only valid to get the location for big areas, like country,
region or even city, but not for postal code, 500 meters around
and so on
Usually used to offer to the mobile user a service or
product based on the actual location of the device.
For example searching for restaurants to have dinner on the
area where the mobile device (customer) is located actually.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
69. Geolocation & Geotargeting
Couponing
Groupon, Living social , Amazon apps, use geolocation to offer
active coupons based on the location near you where the
coupons can be redeemed.
The selling process of the coupon is made by these providers so
you will have to assume a commission percentage.
This are indicated only to attract new customers to your venues.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
70. Geolocation & Geotargeting
Your own coupons

mobile users are alerted when they have a coupon to be used
in the area where the device is located.
There is no commission percentage, but you have to indicate
where to send the coupon, so, it is indicated for cross and up
selling strategies, as well as a loyalty tool for your actual customer
base.
You can use a service like beevou.com to deliver electronic
coupons in passbook format to your customers or prospects the
same way you do with a email message.
If you have your own app, you can insert a widget to display
your coupons based on the GPS location, like the Groupon or
Amazon apps.
Beevou.com allows you to insert “groupon” like functionalities for
couponing in your own apps.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
71. Geolocation & Geotargeting
You can send ads to your customers based on their
location using social geotargeted apps like Facebook,
FourSquare, Yelp, PlacePop or Google places.
Be sure your business appears conveniently in those social
apps, and ensure that geolocation is working properly for them.
Most of this social providers have advertising plans to advertise
your deals in their apps using geolocation.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
72. Geolocation & Geotargeting
Location based advertising

of local audiences, without the wastage associated with advertising
on a wider scale.

within a defined territory (powered by google maps).
Google even offer the “click to call” option to allow the mobile user call
you with a single click.

74. Electronic/Digital Coupons
This is one of the main and effective topics in mobile
marketing
Allows you to send to your customers or prospects
electronic coupons, directly to their mobile device via
email or SMS.
Electronic coupons have a much more higher redemption
rate than paper based.
Your customers will store your coupons in their devices,
so they will never forget at home or loose them, this
fact among others will increase the redemption rate.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
75. Electronic/Digital coupons
Contrary to what happens with paper based coupons,
you can monitor all the life cycle of the coupon, by this
you will be able to know if your customer has redemeed
the coupon or not, if the coupon has expired, etc...
For example if you detect that a priority customer have not
used your coupon and the coupon is finally due, you can send
him a new one, with a different or the same deal.
You will know in real time what coupons have been reedemed
or not, expired, etc... and your own redemption rate for every
deal based in electronic coupons you launch.

Usually electronic coupons are identified by an identity unique
code, in the form of a 1D barcode like , code128 , ean13,
ean8, etc... or a 2D barcode like QR or PDF417
To read those codes your scanner will have to be compatible with
them, or use some of the mobile apps that allow reading barcodes.

78. Mobile Coupons - Passbook
Until the date of the making of this presentation there is
no official standard for electronic coupons.
But there is a the facto standard: Passbook electronic
pass format.
Created by Apple and available from IOS 6.0
Allows different types of passes, like boarding cards, coupons,
event tickets, etc...
Basically the provider of the pass sends to the beneficiary a
special file with all the information of the pass.
The file is electronically signed for security.
Passbook is one of the 5 most used apps in the US.

84. Traceable and no traceable coupons
Mostly paper based coupons that we use today are not
traceable, that is because is very expensive, and needs
a huge technological back office to support the trace of
the coupon.
Electronic vouchers are better and cheap to trace.
There are tools and platforms in the market that allow
you to send electronic coupons but at the end they are
not traceable, search for tools and platforms that allow
you to trace all the life cycle of the coupon.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
85. Traceable coupons
Beevou.com is one of the electronic coupons platforms
that lets you send and trace all the life cycle of an
electronic coupon.
With traceable coupons you can send a personalized
coupon to your customer, and then see if has been
redeemed or not, have been rejected or expired etc...
This is good for loyalty and cross selling strategies, as
long as you can send a new coupon with a new offer to
the customers who redeemed one of your coupons, or
to send the same coupon for those who let the coupon
expire, possibilities are infinites and undoubtedly this
kind of strategy strongly increase the redemption rate
of your coupons and helps you to sell more.

86. Scanning Mobile Coupons
The problem with the barcode scanners
Most of the actual laser barcode scanner are not compatible
with barcodes stored in mobile devices.
This is mostly due to the interaction of the laser light with the reflection of
the screen
The CCD barcode scanners are usually compatible with mobile
devices but only are allow to read 1D barcodes like EAN,
code39, code128, etc..., but not with 2D barcodes like QR.
The best barcode readers for mobile are CMOS based (camera),
right now you can find this kind of devices from 90$, but will be
cheaper as soon as they become the standard.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
87. Scanning Mobile Coupons
Now most of the manufacturers of barcode scanners are
creating models to scan barcodes from mobile devices.
Prices starts from about 90$

scan solutions for free (beevou scan app).

88. Loyalty programs & Mobile
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
89. Loyalty programs & mobile
Until now all loyalty programs were supported by magnetic or
smart cards.
To have a loyalty plan allows your company to:
Individually identify your customers and purchases by, billing
amount, products, dates, etc ...
Give your customers a feeling of exclusivity and preferential
treatment and this feeling usually translates into higher sales due
primarily to the "top in mind" effect of the company on the customer
preferences
Usually grants some kind of discount or gifts depending on customer
purchases.
Sometimes this cards are used as a payment method too, or as a
private credit vehicle.

With every merchant offering different loyalty cards it can
become a bind to the customer who does not want to have a
wallet full of extra cards
Mobile customer loyalty programs allow you to treat your
customer´s mobile phone as a mobile loyalty card
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
91. Loyalty programs & mobile
Loyalty plans are actually moving from the wallet of the
customer to the mobile device through mobile apps.
The smartphone-based loyalty apps allows you to track your
consumer behavior.
Along with other mobile marketing strategies like electronic
coupons, can boost your sales.
Along with geolocation you can address and send to your
customers personalized offers based on the data captured
by your loyalty plan.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com

There are mobile loyalty companies that offer mobile apps
to be used by many companies, so the user just install
one app and use it in all the merchants that belongs to
that loyalty network.
Your cost will be lower, because all the infrastructure is
developed by the provider
...but... using that schema there is a lower sentiment of
exclusivity and preferential treatment by the customer.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
93. Loyalty programs & mobile
A good strategy on your loyalty programs combined with other
mobile marketing techniques will allow you to combat the
“showrooming”, wich happens when consumers check out
merchandise in stores and then search for a better prices in
online stores.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
94. Loyalty programs & mobile
There is a strong relationship between mobile based loyalty
programs and what is called “consumer engagement”.
Your loyalty program along with other mobile marketing
techniques should search for that “consumer engagement”
factor.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
95. Loyalty programs & mobile
There are loyalty solutions that even award the customer with
points or gifts, by the simple fact of visit a physical store
they are known as “walk-ins”.
To be precise the customer has to be notified about the store has the
“Walk-in” program, and then they have to manually open the app to
get the points or gifts for that store.
Some other solutions require the use of base devices installed on the
store to be detected by your loyalty application.
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
96. Loyalty programs & mobile
Passbook enabled loyalty programs
You can simply send to your customers their digital card in passbook
format.

IOS devices and passwallet in android.
You then no need to have an app installed on the device of the customer.
Can use the location alerts that passbook includes, to remind to visit
your store when the customer is near.
Specially useful in anonymous loyalty plans
(c) 2013 Hermes Romero & Andrew Mitchell for www.mobilemarketingfree.com
97. Loyalty programs & mobile
Forget to just copy your traditional point based loyalty
strategies that you run for a long time with physical cards
and translate to a mobile architecture, this just DOESN´T
WORK.
At least a 30% of the loyalty rewards are never redeemed.
“Most mobile-reward programs haven´t yet proven to be as consistent or
effective”
Julie Mossler (Groupon)

111. Video on mobile
The static opening image (click-to-play)
If you include videos in your site, the viewer sees a static
opening image which has to be clicked before the ad starts
playing.
Don´t infravaluate the importance of the opening image
Inspire viewers to act with a clear call-to-action
Use an eye-catching opening image
Tease your audience´s curiosity
Avoid too much text, just a simple and clear message
Create different versions of the video with different opening images to
increase the number of placements where your add can appear.

The social fact
Don´t forget that video networks as youtube or vimeo are also a
community-driven social media network that values meaningful
content and genuine community engagement with real people and
stories.
Create video content that builds a relationship with the network users, instead of a
pure only advertising that will make it harder for you to drive viewer engagement
with your brand.

In-stream video ads allow you to insert your ad into the
beginning or middle of other video content.
While this method is a great branding medium, it often has lower
conversion rates than other online formats.
Direct traffic from your ads to your brand's YouTube channel or website
with additional video content.
By continuing a customer's video experience, you're more likely to get better conversion
rates than sending your customer to a text-only site.
Make sure your landing page is relevant to the content of your ad.
For YouTube landing pages, consider directing customers to a page or brand channel tagged
with an AdWords remarketing code to increase your brand exposure and how often your
message is shown to viewers.
Have a clear call-to-action within your ad, and select colors and fonts to
match your brand.
Avoid using keyword targeting for your campaign, since this could
significantly limit how often your ads are shown.

Keywords
Choose keywords related to topics that entertain people, such
as: names for celebrities, titles for movies and television
shows, quotes, actions or verbs, objects in the video, or
emotions that relate to the content.
Think about trends in online video overall, plus trends on the
relevant site, whether it's YouTube or other sites on the Google
Display Network. Examples include: current events, political
awareness, celebrity gossip, and popular videos.
Consider using the tags of your viewers to create keywords
Use negative keywords to filter out unwanted searches
Refine your keywords periodically
