Hinweis der Redaktion
- The idea of brand butler-ing has been around for a few years.
- This need requires B2C brands to turn many of their 'campaigns' if not all interactions with their customers into broader services. In short: a shift from 'broadcasting' to assisting. Relationships with brands are now more down to earth and less reverential. From individualism to eco-concerns to decreased spending power in developed economies: which is more about showing empathy and providing customers with a status fix (please re-read our PERKONOMICS briefing) than being purely practical. This too requires brands to master more service-oriented personae. For brands, this means that there are now endless creative and cost-effective ways to deliver on this need for assistance, for 'butlers'.
- What this means for your brand, is that there is a great opportunity for brands to develop a more holistic brand butlering strategy.
- The beauty of it is, that you don’t have to ‘butler’ on your own. Just one example: L'OREAL recently teamed up with Vanity Fair's Hollywood app to offer consumers tools to organize their Oscar night voting pools, as well as offering live results and exclusive Vanity Fair content Vanity Fair Hollywood, which is available for free in the App Store via http://www.VF.com/iphone, is designed help users organize their Oscar night voting pools, letting them make their Academy Awards picks and get real-time results using their iPhone or iPod touch. L’Oréal Paris branding is integrated throughout the application.
- 14,000 apps as of Jan 2010.
- Google labs has developed City Tours, which uses Google Maps to offer a variety of walking tours in cities around the world. The tours also offer practical information such as opening hours.
- Sprize: Sprize, provided by Gap in and around Vancouver, BC, allows shoppers to register online before they shop, and if an item's price is reduced within 45 days of purchase, their Sprize account will automatically be credited the difference.
- Swedish food brand Santa Maria offers an iPhone app that offers grilling tips and advice. The application features recipes, a BBQ handbook and a grilling timer.
- In March 2009, Galp Energia launched Galpshare, a carpooling platform available throughout Portugal, where commuters can create a profile, specify their daily route and find others heading the same way. Users can also list their musical preferences and interests, helping them find people they'd enjoy sharing a ride with.
