It turned to QR Codes as a flexible tool, and needed a centralized code management platform to work across multiple divisions within the organization.The Scanlife SolutionThe Home Depot has deployed hundreds of codes from the platform on media like newspaper circulars, in-store signage, local events, and more. Each of the codes link to relevant content based on the product the customer is scanning with options like video demos, useful tips, and even an option to “buy it now.”Tags:#mobile #Qrcodes#retail #cpg#engage #enrich#multichannel#jessica

http://www.mobilecommercedaily.com/2010/01/22/overstock-uses-iphone-app-to-increase-mobile-commercehttp://www.internetretailer.com/2011/11/14/one-million-ipad-shoppers-overstockcom-launches-apphttp://www.padgadget.com/2011/11/14/overstock-com%E2%80%99s-o-co-app-now-available-on-the-ipad/When 7% of a retailer’s unique monthly visitors are on iPads, it’s a safe bet it’s time for an iPad app. That’s why Overstock.com Inc., also known as O.co, has today released an iPad app that gives consumers using the mega-popular tablets access to the e-retailer’s complete inventory. With the O.co app, Overstock customers can seek out fantastic deals and with just a couple of finger taps, purchase brand name products at up to 70% off. This successfully improves upon the mobile website, with a clean, dual-column browsing layout featuring large pictures and product ratings.Social networking is one new element that’s present in the O.co app. Users who find a good deal can share it with their friends and family on Facebook and Twitter.Searching for a specific item is a simple task, with filters for top sellers, review ratings, price, and new arrivals. The app takes advantage of multi-touch gestures like pinch-to-zoom, swiping, and infinite scroll. It also provides access to Overstock.com’s customer care team for help with product questions and other information.Each day Overstock.com customers can access a Loft-O lottery game, giving a chance to win special discounts towards purchases.The app enables Overstock.com customers to search, browse and purchase products. It opens with a splash of imagery, five rotating hero shots atop the home screen. A bar on the home screen includes buttons to navigate by all product categories, search all products and sign in to an O.co account.Two key features of the app are “infinite scrolling” and social sharing, says Sam Peterson, senior vice president of marketing at Overstock.com. Infinite scrolling is a term used by tablet site and app developers to describe the feature that enables a shopper to swipe down on the screen and continue to see product after product without the need to refresh the screen. That’s different from e-commerce sites, which present search results divided into pages, requiring a shopper to click to a new page for more results.Another feature, Lott-O, a virtual scratch coupon, is undeniably fun: Each day, users are presented with a full screen of the familiar gray found on scratch-off lottery tickets. Rubbing your finger across the screen rubs the gray off, revealing a discount code underneath. Come back to Lott-O later on the same day and the same code will still be there, with your finger marks still in place.Tags: #retail #ecommerce#mobile #tablet#engage #enrich#jessica

QR codes printed on VMA-themed packaging, specially designed by Draftfcb, provided access to exclusive sneak-peak preview music and video content on a mobile website. “Taco Bell is a sponsor of the VMA Awards on MTV, so they wanted to reward their customers with exclusive content by engaging directly with the product,” said David Javitch, vice president of marketing at Scanbuy.

Customers would scan and purchase these products for same day delivery. “So, Tesco Homeplus created a virtual store in Seoul subway stations in which the displays and merchandise are exactly the same as the stores. Customers scan the desired product with their smartphone and it then appears in their online cart. The products will be delivered to their door ‘right after you get home.’”[1]http://www.adobomagazine.com/cannes/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Direct-Gold-KR.jpgMobile web stats…http://www.singleboundcreative.com/2011/05/infographic-the-mobile-web/June 27, 2011 (Updated Nov. 16, 2011)#foodbev#retail#mobile#asia#enrich #jaimy
