SMART MOBILE MARKETING FOR RETAILERS
LocalSocial in a Nutshell -‐ 1
• It’s a so*ware service that enables retailers to engage with new or exisJng customers when they are on-‐premise or “in the store”
• Customers have an app that they run when they come in
• The app detects that they’re in-‐store • It displays offers from the retailer customised to the user / store / Jme of day / etc.
• It provides points for just “walking in”
Localsocial in a nutshell -‐ 2
• It works using proximity technology (short range wireless)
• This is used to assert / confirm that a user is “on premises”
• We provide a small box to the merchant that acts as a “beacon” for the applicaJon
• Merchant can just plug it in – no configuraJon, no setup, no internet
• Walkthough in more detail now follows….

Screenshots / Walkthrough
Quick walkthrough of the service…
• We’ll look first at the end user applicaJon to see what the user sees
• We’ll then look at the merchant registraJon and set up online
LocalSocial : Customer ApplicaJon
• For end users of the service – free download
• Simple – run the app, and it shows offers, parJcipaJng merchants, points and more
• Three main views (places, offers, map)
• Let’s look at each briefly…
LocalSocial : Places
• Places are merchants who are taking part in the service
• Just a brief Jtle and an image visible for each
• If they offer “walk in points” – these are also displayed
• If you’re in the store right now – they’re highlighted in green: “Proximity”
LocalSocial : Offers
• Lists offers “in proximity” and nearby
• Offers arranged in proximity order
• Some flagged green again -‐ as “In Proximity”
• These are offers where you’re “on premise” or “in the store”
• Because the short range wireless “beacon” is visible
LocalSocial : Map
• Shows offers overlaid on a map
• Tap offer to see the details
• Together – these three views (Places, Offers, Map) give the user a flexible way to explore the service
LocalSocial : Place Detail
• If you click on a place, you see more details about the place and any offers available
• The icons at the bo5om are for: – liking a place – sharing it with friends/social media
– mapping it
LocalSocial : Points and Rewards
• When a user is in proximity to a merchant that offers loyalty points
• The app will detect and collect the points
• Points can redeemed for rewards
LocalSocial : Rewards
• Rewards (iniJally at least) are simple, universal vouchers
• Can be e-‐distributed (zero cost)
• Amazon, iTunes, One4All, etc.
• OpJon to add merchant rewards…
LocalSocial : Offers
• Merchant controls the offers – Type of offer (discount, two for one, etc.)
– Limits -‐ how many are available
– LocaJons – where offer becomes visible
– Security & POS – unique codes and colours
LocalSocial : Offers
• When a user taps an offer, they see the detail for the offer
• Title, Image, plus addiJon explanaJon (just out of view in this screenshot)
• Icons at side are for liking, sharing (on social media), mapping and saving offers
• The redeem bu5on causes a redempJon…
