useful product information, music)

18. Malls & Retail
In Store Shopping
Media2Go transforms the mall, lifestyle center, and in-store
shopping experience by extending the time consumers spend
in the mall or store, and capturing shoppers’ attention with
promotions, coupons, and in-store specials.
Wi-Fi hotspots can be dynamically branded with advertising
and messages displayed during network sign up. Bluetooth
hotspots can distribute offers and coupons from stores,
restaurants and movie theaters directly to shoppers’ mobile
devices.
Case study: A mid-size shopping mall included a central Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth hotspot. Marked by a large floor sticker at the
center of the mall, it offered shoppers to enable their
Bluetooth phones to receive discount coupons. On a daily
basis, different stores provided discount coupons, which
shoppers received directly to their phone.
19. Coffee Shops & Restaurants
Wi-Fi hotspots
Media2Go enables coffee shops and restaurants to leverage
their Wi-Fi hotspot offering to promote brands, offer coupons,
or call attention to different social/environmental campaigns.
While users login to connect, selected content is delivered. For
multi-location chains, a remote, web-base control panel
enables controlling all hotspots and displaying different
content.
Case study: A large coffee shop located in a financial district had
an up-scale clientele that was an attractive target for a foreign
exchange (forex) trading company. Through a Media2Go Wi-
Fi/Bluetooth hotspot,coffee shop clientswere exposed to a
promotional movie offering an Asus notebook for joining the
Forex company. The same promotional message was delivered
via Bluetooth to users with regular phones
20. Events
Generate Buzz
Whether indoor or outdoor, Media2Go can boost the excitement
and success of any event with Wi-Fi & Bluetooth hotspots that
enhance brands, deliver contextual content, and generate buzz. For
outdoor events, Media2Go offers portable, battery-powered
hotspots that can be carried by brand ambassadors. You can deliver
video, MP3 music, ringtones, or branded applications via Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth to mobile devices in any setting. Media2Go has been
deployed in a range of events such as music festivals, museum
openings, sporting events, fashion shows, business and academic
events.
Case study: A Coca Cola sponsored music village
was covered with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hotspots.
Teenagers were offered 16 different messages
(video, audio, screen savers) for free download,
which strengthened the Coca Cola brand. Within
the 5-day event, more than 30K users were
exposed to messages, out of a total of 90K users
that were identified.
21. Bars & Nightclubs
Advertising messages
While engaged in leisure activities,
consumers can be targeted with
content such as quizzes or
contests. Engaging consumers with
such content keeps clients a longer
time on the premises, and
strengthens your brand.
Case study: To drive traffic into bars and encourage people to try
its new beer, Coors ran a Bluetooth-based proximity marketing
coupon campaign. Bar visitors were prompted to enable
Bluetooth on their mobile phones to get a Coors-branded quiz for
a chance to win a free Carling beer.
22. Airports
Captivated audience
With travelers spending time waiting for flights, an airport is an
ideal ground for location based marketing campaigns. Using
combined Wi-Fi & Bluetooth hotspots, a range of messages
and promotional content can be delivered directly to
travelers’ mobile devices, within various locations within
the airport. This may include:
• Promotional content related to stores, restaurants, or duty-free
offers
• Travel-related information such as queue time, gates, departures,
arrivals, delays, weather, car parking, public transportation, etc.
Case study: A fast food chain used a Bluetooth-enabled
billboard within an airport to offer passenger’s a discount
coupon to be downloaded to their phones. This generated
traffic to the fast food branch located in a quiet area of the
airport.
