blogs, podcasting, online video and gaming, widgets, Facebook and YouTube presence,
consumer generated content, community, personalization, wikis, and search 2.0, etc.

WeakComments and Analysis:
Eastport leveraged extensive online input gathering mechanisms including “Tell Us What You Think of
Eastport.com” links, and “Add Your Own Testimonial” links sprinkled throughout the site. A number of these
testimonials were prominently featured on the Eastport homepage.
– Westgate and Midway did not ask consumers for feedback about their products, although Midway did
feature an online “poll” about the benefits of the category.
Within the “blogosphere”, Eastport had the most mentions by far with over 2400. Midway had 450, while
Westgate had only 33.
– Eastport and Midway’s comments were overwhelming positive, while Westgate’s were somewhat mixed.
– Core negative comments for Westgate revolved around the recent voluntary product recall and long waits
for customer service representatives in general.
– Eastport was also the only brand that had their own blog.
In consumer generated “visual” media, Eastport had over 500 “YouTube” placements mainly related to their well
known flagship product, some of which were very creative and humorous (Midway and Westgate had 27 and 11
YouTube mentions respectively).
– A recent campaign soliciting consumers to create their own videos generated a substantial amount of free
press and goodwill for the Eastport brand.
In consumer generated “text” content, Midway’s website solicited consumers to provide a wide array of created
“alternative use” ideas for its premium product.
– Westgate did not solicit any consumer generated content from its customers at all.
Across the competitive landscape, only Eastport had a listing in Wikipedia (the listing was fairly extensive).

67. The World of Mobile Marketing
Mobile Phones Have Surpassed Computers!
• Mobile has ramped up much faster than desktop computers did (Morgan Stanley).
– In fact, today there are way more mobile phones in the world than computers
(CNBC).
• Cell phones are now used considerably more for “data” purposes (such as web
browsing, text messaging, e-mail, games, social messaging, music, etc.) than for
phone calls (New York Times – 5/13/10).
• Smartphone penetration (iPhone, Android, etc.) reached a staggering 50%+ by early
2012 (Nielsen – 2/12).
• Today most iPhone users browse the web more on their phones than on their
computers (Advertising Age).
• There are already over a million iPhone/mobile “Apps” in circulation.
• Mobile offers something other marketing mediums cannot… A much higher
probability of a message being delivered to the right person at the right time.
• Mobile coupons, transparent pricing, and branded mobile “apps” have disrupted
retail and drive new traffic and sales (Morgan Stanley).
