Mobile marketing is becoming increasingly important. Nearly all mobile phone owners use their phones daily for more than just calls. The number of mobile internet users in the US has grown to over 70 million. Mobile marketing spending in the US is expected to grow over 25% in 2010 and be second only to social media spending. QR codes, bar codes, and tags are seen as the future of mobile marketing responses. Marketers recognize the growing importance of digital and mobile strategies, with many planning to shift budgets from traditional to digital. Social media is a top priority along with digital infrastructure. Mobile is also considered very important. QR codes can provide interactive experiences when scanned by mobile phones and are starting to be used innovatively in various industries for marketing purposes

The Year of Mobile has arrived.

2. MOBILE INTERNET IS BECOMING A
DAILY ACTIVITY FOR MANY
92% of owners cannot get through a typical day without using their phones. Mobile
phones are within arm’s reach 80% of your day. Handsets with Internet access are
getting people to use their cell phones beyond making phone calls. They want instant
access and a way to look up information while they are out and about.
Today, there are over 70 million mobile Web users in the United States. Social
networking is helping to move mobile internet services out of early adopter mode and
into the mainstream.

WHAT MARKETERS
1
ARE THINKING?
THE 2010 DIGITAL MARKETING OUTLOOK REPORT FOUND THAT:
81% of the brand executives surveyed expected an increase in digital projects
in 2010.
One-half will be moving dollars from traditional to digital budgets.
More than three-quarters think the current economy will push more allocations
to digital.

5. WHAT MARKETERS
ARE DOING?
Senior marketers reported that social networks and applications were their biggest
priority for 2010, followed closely by digital infrastructure.
While social media marketing looks set to stay top of mind, a majority of respondents
rated a range of digital activities as at least “important,” with only games failing to
inspire widespread interest.

6. WHAT SMART
MARKETERS KNOW?
Advertising will move away from creating push campaigns and will transform to engage in
constant conversations, where both parties participate. Ease in participation is critical.
Thus, companies and brands need to ensure that their websites, portals, and web
applications adequately support mobile devices.
In general, mobile users should be making many fewer clicks than PC users before
arriving at their desired content.
Companies and brands that become early adopters of mobile marketing will benefit from
low cost experimentation and first mover advantage.

7. QUICK RESPONSE (QR) CODES,
BAR CODES OR TAGS
May contain any information that you would like to put into it.
When photographed by a mobile phone camera, it opens up to a particular web page
in the phone’s Web browser.
In order for consumers to read the code, they simply need three things:
- Camera phone
- QR or Bar code reader –This is available for all smart phones.
- Internet Service

8. STEP ONE
FORGET THE HASSLE OF TYPING
URLS INTO YOUR PHONE!
STEP ONE: POINT CAMERA ON A CODE STEP TWO: TAKE A PICTURE
STEP THREE: WAIT FOR DECODING STEP FOUR: WEBSITE
STEP TWO STEP THREE STEP FOUR

9. INTEGRATE QR INTO YOUR ADS AND
MARKETING CAMPAIGNS
Mobile is a great direct marketing tool. However, mobile marketing alone will fail
if it does not reach and involve the consumer. Integration is necessary to
ensure success.

PRACTICES: NUMBER TWO
Ford used a technology from Microsoft — known as tags — in its print advertising
materials in order to give potential car buyers a more interactive introduction to
the car.
In Ford’s case, the tags lead smart-phone users to a site featuring six different video
clips explaining the Taurus’s technology, ranging from a demonstration of a cruise-
control system that adapts to the speed of the vehicle in front of the car, to a system
that automatically detects objects in a driver’s blind spot.

QR CODES CAN BE FUN AND EXCITING!
In one of the underground passages in Japan, you’ll notice a new poster with QR
codes on the wall. Guess who the characters are?
You’re absolutely right! It’s Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Stich. It’s not the
typical QR code. You can clearly see the eyes and nose of each character within its
QR code.
Polo Ralph Lauren has pioneered the use of the QR technology in the fashion field.
When people scan items that appear in their ads, they are connected to an
e-commerce site where they can shop directly from their phones, view the collections
and even read articles within RL Magazine.

13. RECENT BEST
PRACTICES: NUMBER FOUR
Consumers can pull ads that they are interested in rather than what’s more
prevalent—push advertising. See that ad for Coke? Scan the code and it
downloads the Coke ringtone.
McDonald’s has QR codes printed on its wrappers to show the burger’s
nutritional facts.
To maximize a billboard rental, a QR code is placed in the advertisement. Scan the
QR code from a mobile. Instantly get product information beyond what’s on
the billboard.

14. IMAGINE THE
POSSIBILITIES: NUMBER ONE
QR CODES WILL BE BUSINESS CARD REPLACEMENTS.
You are at a business meeting or trade show and an important prospect has run out of
business cards.
But you do have your mobile. And your prospect has her contact information on a
QR code in her phone (or in the case of a trade show, it might be printed on her
badge—perhaps on the back of it so she controls who gets her contact information).
You scan the prospect’s barcode and you have all of her contact information.
Now it’s not only in your mobile, but on your desktop in your contact manager.
Who needs business cards now?

15. IMAGINE THE
POSSIBILITIES: NUMBER TWO
ENVISION THAT YOU MANAGE A SUPERMARKET CHAIN.
Every product has a QR barcode where consumers can access coupons, product
availability, and delivery tracking from their mobile phones.
Now they can get rid of printed coupons!
Everyone can even see how fresh the products are.
A consumer walks past his favorite fruit, strawberries, and finds out whatever
information you care to provide. This might include when it was picked, where it
came from, and its nutritional information—even recipes. How cool is that?

16. IMAGINE THE
POSSIBILITIES: NUMBER THREE
IMAGINE YOU’RE A CHAIN OF CLOTHING STORES?
Passers-by could snap the QR codes that are placed right by the mannequins in your
store window.
They can buy the outfit that they saw without having to find parking and fight the
crowd to buy your clothes.

17. IMAGINE THE
POSSIBILITIES: NUMBER FOUR
IMAGINE YOU’RE A FAMILY RESTAURANT CHAIN?
Put a QR code in the window of each location.
That code brings the prospect to that location’s page showing the menu, hours,
specials, directions, address, phone number, delivery or takeout service—even
whether or not you have job openings at that location or others.
