Quick Response Codes are set to become the “next big
thing”!
They are a type of two-dimensional barcode that can be
read using apps on smartphones (the majority are free)

7. iADS
An iAD is an advert that is linked to something the user has clicked on. Many
companies use these on many websites to attract people to their PSO .
iAd is a powerful way for brands to reach millions of iOS users, and lets you easily
integrate engaging ads to generate revenue from your apps. The iAd Network
provides an automated and intuitive environment for you to easily incorporate iAd
rich media ads into your apps, monitor advertisement performance, and track
revenue.
Range Rover used iAD’s when promoting their new
Range Rover model, as they believed there is more
attention spent by someone engaging with their
iPhone/iPad rather than watching an advert on
television.
8. Proximity Marketing
Proximity marketing is local
wireless advertising content
associated with a particular
place.
Proximity marketing is being
used by retailers to reach their
consumers in a more direct
and interactive way,
motivating a return visit
9. Marketers are using Bluetooth, bypassing mobile carriers to send free information to anybody within
range, decreasing cost to the retailer
Some companies are using Bluetooth connectivity to make static advertising that consumers may just
see as wallpaper more interactive, ensuring that the information is well received and
remembered
Companies can record and use information, such as the number of people accepting/rejecting
the mobile communication to improve future communication
This communication can be used and adapted to reach consumers that have already engaged with
your campaign as well as those you are trying to capture
An example of the benefits of proximity marketing would be a customer looking around a shopping
centre. This shopper acquires communication with retailers instantly whilst they are in the market to
buy as opposed to being hit by hundreds of daily ads, only to forget when they come to buy.
