What Does Black Friday Mean for UK Retailers? John Lewis, Argos and Dixons• According to IORMA and eDigitalResearch figures, 72 per cent of Brits are now familiar with the concept – but without a

matching holiday, is there any real retail opportunity in the UK?

• According to John Lewis, 2013 was the year that Black Friday really broke through into the UK’s public consciousness

• It was not only the company’s busiest online shopping day of the year, it also set a number of records – more than doubling the previous record for daily online sales, and tripling it on mobile. During the peak hour, 7-8am, mobile traffic was an incredible 14 times higher than ever before

• Electronics retailer Dixons Carphone anticipates traffic to its sites on Black Friday to overtake Christmas Day 2014, which saw over 1m visitors. Smartphones and tablets are expected to account for 65-70 per cent of this traffic, compared to an 80 per cent peak on Christmas Day

• “At Argos we’ve upweighted our marketing and promotions activity this year and in the spirit of our new brand campaign, we’re encouraging customers to ‘Get Set for Black Friday’. We have a special countdown clock on our website in the run up to Black Friday to help build excitement and anticipation with our customers for the great offers and bargains they can expect from us across tech, toys, TV ranges and more.”

To increase brand awareness and purchase intent, Tic Tac created a promotion designed to let fans determine the brand’s next limited-edition flavor. Fans voted for their favorite flavor, and each vote was a chance to win instant prizes and counted toward an entry to the grand prize drawing for $5,000 and a year’s supply of the winning flavor.The target group was young adults from age 18 to 24, the promotion was created as a mobile-firstexperience, making it feel rich, seamless, and entertaining.

Consumers entered the contest by shaking their mobile devices, just like a box of Tic Tacs, which then emitted the iconic Tic Tac rattle. To motivate players, a series of hilarious messages popped up to encourage them to keep shaking.

I believe that this is an interesting and well thought out campaign because the brand managed to get lots of people playing which is turn caused more people to join in. This shows consumers are more willing to engage with the brand if their friends are engaging too. The campaign highlighted the rational and emotional reasons to buy; each flavor assumed its own unique personality, including chirpy Green Apple, fiery Cinnamon Spice, and cooling Wintergreen. This made the consumers feel more connected to the brand.

Your Local Haircast

Weather affects women’s hairstyles on a daily basis. To increase sales without the introduction of a new product, Pantene worked with The Weather Channel to create a haircast app for women.

I think that this was a good campaign because it made the consumers feel like the brand was on their side and trying to help their hair struggles whilst preparing them for what the day would bring. A multi-channel approach, including, mobile, tablet, social, and in-store, was the key to the program’s success, delivering the brand’s message when and where consumers were looking for it the most: during the path to purchase. This meant that the consumers could access the ‘haircast’ whenever they wanted. All the haircasts and Pantene solutions were keyed to specific zip codes with styling tips, making the message applicable to every woman’s individual situation. This made the campaign feel more personal to the consumer, thus creating a bond between the consumer and brand.

Review

In general I think that this is a good app because when you cannot locate something of importance to you it creates panic, which is generally ineffective in finding things. You can have confidence in this app that it will successfully locate your product.

Customer review

Worked perfectly! By Atom al ‘Last week my daughters iPhone 5 was stolen. Using find my iPhone app we were able to locate the phone to an exact address. The police attended, they also logged into my account to see the phones location. We were ableto play a sound on the phone from outside the property to prove its location, after which the police gained entry to the property and returned the phone to us. Without this app the phone would have been lost. Can't fault it! Excellent!!’

Customer ReviewAbout as reliable as the trains... by CitizenMarcIt could be fine - but it doesn't follow good design and therefore does not do as you'd expect; frustratingly limits choices.. and wouldn't let me complete buying process. Too many error / not available reports etc. Needs good 'export to' options. Worse than useless for reporting live progress of the train you're on

NFL (Near Field Communication)

• At its core, all NFC is doing is identifying us, and our bank account, to a computer. The technology is simple. It's a short-range, low power wireless link evolved from radio-frequency identification (RFID) tech that can transfer small amounts of data between two devices held a few centimeters from each other.

Who is using this?

• Anywhere that accepts mobile contactless payment - by tapping your phone on a contactless payment terminal in a shop, train station or coffee shop is able to identify your account (and even your personal preferences, shopping habits and even your most frequently travelled route home) and takes payment through an app on your phone.

Proximity Marketing

Also sometimes called hyperlocal marketing—uses cellular technology to send marketing messages to mobile-device users who are in close proximity to a business. The market is defined by those with Bluetooth or Wi-fi technology, and the message is sent out electronically by businesses hoping to digitally connect with nearby consumers.

How is this being utilised by companies?

• Major retailers, such as Ikea or Macy’s, can send store maps and coupons or offers to apply for their credit card or to enrol in their loyalty or rewards programs.

• Hotels can inform guests about on-site events and promotions or can offer to enroll them in loyalty or rewards programs.

• Restaurants can send special menus/daily specials, coupons, offers for loyalty programs, or perhaps send trivia questions or other games to help them pass the time while they wait for their table to be ready.

• Shopping malls can offer a proximity marketing benefit to their tenants by putting together a package of coupons or offer a discount at any mall retailer.

• Travel hubs such as airports and public transportation centers can provide maps or display ads that can be sold to local tourist destinations.

• General information about a product or service can be delivered through proximity marketing even if the fixed location of the business or service agency changes

App Development

• Mobile application development is the process by which application software is developed for low-power handheld devices, such as mobile phones. These applications can be pre-installed on phones during manufacture, downloaded by customers from various mobile software distribution platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g. JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser.
