Q: how many apps do you use in a month?

a successful app must:
solve a real problem
2) entertain (either with content or functionality ie. gaming)

successful apps solve a real problem
Where is good to eat around here?
What should I cook for dinner tonight?
I love this song! Who sings it?
What is the weather forecast today?
Where am I? Where are my friends?
I am heading out for lunch, who has a good deal on today?
Tip: focus on the contextof a mobile user, and build a
great experience around it.

the clip approach tomobile
Consumers are self interested, so Clip is a mobile experience that allows brands to engage consumers motivated by DEALS!
Aggregating high-value actionable content around a great mobile experience is the best way to get and keep a user.
Appeal to those who are already interested in promotions. This needs to happen on both user and client side.
Cannot drive consumer adoption through mobile only. Build awareness by leveraging the assets of partners owned, earned and bought media.

partners bring users and content
The Clip business model and software architecture is designed to leverage existing
relationships of affiliate marketing partners. Ie. Multiple distribution networks and media touch points
Partners gain access to a growing community of mobile consumers through turn-key Clip CMS and an opportunity to add a new revenue stream.
The ability to apply co-branding on partner offers is being developed.

build software people want to use
The web-based API allows marketers to quickly and easily create offers from any computer with an internet connection. Automate go-live and expiration dates, associate offers to one or many locations, and enforce usage restrictions through the simple form-based system.

Where do we go from here?
PR push around Blackberry and campaign rollouts
