3. People can say mean things about us 
UCLA X425 Fall 2014
• Generate awareness 
• Increase engagement 
• Increase influence 
• Motivate action 
(purchases, leads, etc.) 
UCLA X425 Fall 2014
• Awareness - Website visitors, page views, 
fans/followers, etc. (tangible metrics) 
• Engagement - Comments (blog, Facebook), 
retweets, time spent on the website, etc. 
• Influence - Third-party mentions, inbound links, etc. 
• Action - Conversions, sign-ups, downloads, 
purchases, etc. 
UCLA X425 Fall 2014
• Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, Yelp 
• Induce consumers to "check in" and share their 
location 
How? 
• Special offers 
• Discounts/coupons 
• Recognition 
• Status 
UCLA X425 Fall 2014
• "Quick Response" akin to a bar code 
• Make accessing information easy on-the-go 
from a web page or other online content 
• Use by "scanning" the code via smart phone 
equipped with a QR code reader app 
• Easy and free to generate (can also customize) 
• Good Uses: product packaging, print ads, 
business cards, storefront displays, restaurant 
menus, real estate, etc. Landing page should 
be optimized for mobile! 
• Bad Uses: Moving vehicles, distant billboards, 
subways/airplanes (places with no cell/data 
signal)
