72% of US ad spend for
mobile
Mobile Ads must be
responsive, need leverage social
Trend for advertising platforms to
merge mobile vs desktop ads-focus on responsive design with mobile focus
Usually platforms such as FB, Google will give you options of
sizes/templates for mobile vs desktop
Don’t re-purpose desktop creative or run flat lifeless banners
Especially if a publisher-you should always monitor
which ads SE’s & industry suggest you NOT use
Types of Mobile Advertising
SMS WAP Display Ads Search Ads App Display Ads Push notifications
QR codes are
2-D barcodes that can be scanned by a smart phone’s camera using an app customers must download (more are being activated by camera and built in)

QR Code Action
can take consumers to website but also dial up a number, see a video, game, contest, quote generator, buy something, bring up email or text message
Common applications of QR codes
Most popular results of scanning:
1. Coupon/offer
2. Sweepstakes
3. Product information 4. Purchase
• Product packaging: popular source of scanning
• Home: most popular location for scanning (57% of scanners)
Best Practices with QR codes
- Include a text message call- to-action as well as a keyword to text (to a short code) in case the consumer does not have a smartphone
- Consider custom QR codes – scanned 2X times more than regular black & white
- Clearly state what the customer will get if they scan the code (e.g., a discount)
- Assume this is the consumer’s first time scanning – include directions
SMS & Push considerations
- Basic concepts from digital marketing apply such as contact strategy, segmenting, testing, types of offers, sending them to your website for conversions, etc.
- Main difference with other mediums is the higher open rates—careful not to misuse and have higher opt out rate
- Also text is very short from 34- 160 characters so need to have well-crafted calls to action, add call to action!
- Always permission based and respecting privacy laws
SMS & Push Best Practices
- Scheduled : same time or adjusted by user location time zone
- 1:1 Optimal Time: use Machine learning to determine the individual’s app usage patterns, so as to automatically send messages at a time and/or day when that user is more likely to open.
- Behavior-Based: Deliver messages in response to specific behaviors. For example, if a user adds an item to their mobile shopping cart, a behavior-based push reminds them to check out.
- SMS (Short Messaging Service) texting: 160 characters and over cell carrier’s line so charges unless bundled
- Peaked way back in 2012… but 8 trillion texts/year worldwide, Declined with appearance of messaging apps (e.g.., WhatsApp) that bypass carriers billing-OTT (e.g., Verizon, AT&T).
- Some messenger apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat skewed to younger demographics
- Brands still either SMS if they don’t have an app or push notifications
SMS vendors
increasingly Integrated as part of marketing automation vendors like Watson, Adobe Cloud, HubSpot, Marketo. Smaller players like Sumo, Slicktext & Trumpia
Texting SMS Features
- Text messaging: more popular with women & those under 35. Minorities also well represented- African American and Hispanic
- In US: 270 million active cell phones: 98% SMS capable
- Up to 15X redemption rates of paper coupons, also at least 8X times better than email
SMS Components
• CSCs (Common short codes) : short
phone number, five digits
- Must include in each message
- STOP: Unsubscribe the sender’s number from the service.
- HELP: A support request from the sender’s number
- Can be sent from one cell to another, a PC to phones (software vendors) or phone to a PC
- Most businesses use a vendor (who have relationships with carriers)
- Building a program is very similar to how email programs were built.
Features of MMS
(multimedia message service)
MMS can contain: Graphics Audio Visual Images Text
- Higher response rates- 8-12 % lift over text in testing
- However larger file size=those receiving will be charged more
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
- Non-compliance fines of up to $1,500 per unsolicited message-Jiffy Lube $47 million settlement
- Now requires express and not just implicit consent (had done business with the company)
- Requires prior written express consent which can be obtained at website form or text message reply-keep for 4 years
Mobile app Push Notifications
- Mobile app functionality – permission based–allows sending messages to the user even when app not open approx. 37 to 43 characters
- App’s icon and message appear in phone’s status bar
- Can be text or rich (images, video or sound–50% higher open rate than text)
- Security considerations so not hijacked by spammers, hackers
Desktop or Website Push Notifications
- Browser driven-mobile like apps but for all devices including desktop
- Person goes to website and is usually invited
- Much less expensive than building an app
- Like email or SMS, must be opt in permission based and allow opt outs on every notification sent out
- Character limits between 30- 120 characters.
Messaging apps
- Not the highest converting platform, in some cases, it is not currently not possible to do advertising
- In general more for awareness type activities, consider for ads Facebook Messenger as best starting point
- Consider connecting with your Chatbot or if FB building their FB Messenger Chatbot
- If you have your own app might consider pushing something like the IFTT applets communicate with your app but many are encrypted so may not work
Snapchat
- Snapchat is an MMS- multimedia messaging service with 10 billion video views per day and 100+ million users
- Target – year old 13-34
- Message disappears- set it for 10 secs–video, pictures, text, draw on image
- Geo filters
Websites: basically two types
Non-transactional
An ecommerce website
