10. 10 rules for leveraging
the mobile channel
1. What do you want to achieve?
2. Get the whole picture
3. Be relevant
4. Be yourself
5. Pick the right platforms
6. Usability
7. Ubiquity
8. Uniquely Personal
9. Mocial
10. Don‟t hide the app
10
11. 1. What do you
want to achieve?
Examples...
Mobile app as part of a branding strategy to
help position the make
A tool to raise awareness of an upcoming
release or the launch of a new brand
Create a new sales channel to reach
customers and drive sales
Mobile app as an extension for an existing
service
Drive footfall to a brick and mortar store
Engage customers at the POS and enhance
the in-store shopping experience
11
12. 2. Get the whole
picture
Mobile isn‟t standalone
Interlink between channels.
Let channels “play” with each other, the more
interaction, the more engaged the customer
Cross-promote throughout all channels.
Use NFC, QR Codes or links to connect mobile with
OOH Media, Print or TV and vice versa. Create and
benefit from synergies
12
13. 3. Be relevant
Follow the user‟s journey and
detect potential touchpoints.
Fit the audience
Provide a reason to download your app
Exclusive content
Discounts
An app needs to be maintained
Take advantage of updates
13
14. 4. Be yourself
Don‟t chase the latest buzz
just to be cool
Work from your values, your positioning
and your message
Create a logical connection between the
app and its functionalities.
14
15. 5. Pick the right
platforms
Not everyone has an iPhone or an
Android. Not even a smartphone.
The audience will tell you everything you
need to know
Get the basics right (so yes to a mobile site)
15
16. 6. Usability
Make people love your mobile
presence.
Mobile is not Online. It‟s not just another
digital screen
Smaller screen. Longer loading times
User journey needs to be well thought out
Transaction need to be simple, yet secure
Navigation through voice- recognition
should be taken into account
16
17. 7. Ubiquity
Mobile goes everywhere
Take advantage of “anytime, anywhere”
The bridge between the individual and
everything around them, virtual or real
Create time pressure to boost mobile sales
17
18. 8. Uniquely Personal
Respect the user‟s choice
Never assume that the user wants to be
open with you
Users are willing to share information, but
on their terms
Ask permission. Always take the opt-in route
Reward them for joining in
18
19. 9. Mocial
Mobile is inherently social
Most users are logged into Facebook
Create fast login/ sign up through social
networks
Enable and encourage sharing
Provide content that encourages sharing
Let your fans do the publicity
19
20. 10. Make your mobile
services easy to find
Mobile apps and websites don‟t
market themselves
If no one knows you have a mobile
presence, no one will download your app or
access your mobile web
Promote mobile through other channels
Make mobile part of „The Marketing Plan‟
Give incentives for downloading your app
and promote them
