7. Messaging Services (Text, SMS, MMS)
Text messaging is built into all modern smartphones and 95% of older
clamshell type cell phones. Text messaging is being used for a very wide
variety of marketing initiatives that require a user to send a text message
to common short code (CSC) destination in order to trigger an action that
will return something of value to the user.
Terminology / Acronyms
• Common Short Code (CSC) is a five or six digit number to which a
user can send a text message. The CSC assignment is common
across all telecom carriers.
• Short Message Service (SMS) is the mechanism to send a text
message of up to 140 characters. Available on all mobile phones.
• Multimedia Message Services (MMS) is the mechanism to send
images, video and audio to a user using extensions to the SMS
messaging protocol.
CSC based messaging is the simplest and most widely used
vehicle for mobile marketing
• SMS and MMS are broadly available on most mobile devices and
most consumers, especially consumers under 35, are very familiar
with using text message services.
• SMS programs are simple to implement and are cost effective.
Because the requests are user initiated, response rates are on
average about 12% vs. < 2% for other web based advertising.
• Text messaging is one of the fastest growing channels for mobile
advertising because of the low cost, reach, and high response rates.
Common short codes are obtained by registering at the
Common Short Code Administration website below. The cost
is $500/month for a randomly assigned number or $1000 per
month for a specific numeric code.

Existing web based ad sites are moving quickly to support
mobile access
• Most mobile apps are developed in native code
because of limited memory, processor power and
network bandwidth.
• Although all smartphones contain browsers and
apps can be written to display correctly on
workstations, tablets and smartphones, graphically
intense web pages render too slowly at this point to
be a viable option for interactive smartphone
applications.
• Development time for simple iPhone applications is
about 3-4 weeks. More complex applications can
require as much as 12-18 man-months of
development effort.
• Development costs range from $5000 on up for
mobile apps.
• Mobile device programming expertise is very
difficult to find.

advertising

How does the QR code cycle work?

13. QR codes enable granular usage tracking of print and outdoor
media
Print and outdoor campaigns can be measured by using unique Google Analytics codes to
capture statistics for page displays launched by QR readers from user smartphones.

14. Electronic couponing is starting to become a presence
Retailers are pursuing different strategies to communicate sales information to preferred
customers with several strategies being adopted for in-store vs. global push communications

Mobile ads streamed to your mobile phone were announced by
Google in June and by Apple in July
Apple’s iAd program allows mobile ads to be sent to smartphones if the user opts in and the
applications are built to accept ads. Enhancements to iOS will allow ads to be sent to the home menu
and retrieved by users (similar to voice mail alerts).

Mobile Proximity Marketing is a newly emerging technology
Proximity marketing leverages the communications and geolocation capabilities
of smartphones to direct targeted marketing at shoppers within a store setting.
Short Range Solutions Based on Bluetooth Communications
• Bluetooth is a short range communications protocol available in
every smartphone, Effective range is about 3-5 feet.
• Bluetooth is primarily used for end caps and kiosk based product
displays.
• Very low customer awareness that Bluetooth exists on phones.
In-store Solutions Based on SMS and Geolocation
• Retailers (notably Best Buy) are testing systems based on a
combination of SMS (Short Message Services) and geolocation.
• SMS services can broadcast a short range text message to phones
within the reception area.
• Current GPS receivers in smartphones can resolve a location to
within 6-10 feet of the actual coordinates. Newer receivers can
resolve the location to within 10 inches of the actual location. When
the GPS is unable to receive the GPS satellite signal, the location
can be fixed to within 50 feet through cell tower triangulation.
• Current projects are in the early pilot program phases
