NEW YORK – A Mindshare executive at Mobile Marketer’s Mobile FirstLook: Strategy 2016 discussed how Unilever’s Dove and Hellman’s brands built campaigns from core consumer insights that were a hit on mobile and showcased the power of native integrations.
“It is really difficult at times to build a mobile strategy for a lot of CPG brands just because everything is so different all the time,” said Jeff Malmad, managing director and head of mobile for Mindshare North America.
“So how do you build campaigns that are really built on a core insight,” he said. “How do you build campaigns that don’t just leverage mobile but leverage desktop, tablets, digital out of home and print.
“There are all these other touch points you have to consider in order to deliver these types of messages for these types of programs.”
A holistic strategy The fundamentals of marketing have not changed. Brands are looking for ways to get consumers to engage with their products and eventually make a purchase.
What has changed is that there are now so many different channels through which to engage consumers. Thus, the challenge for marketers is how to break through the clutter and deliver programs that are driven by an idea first.
First, brands need to start with an overall concept and leverage it across all the different screens. The platform should be secondary.
“I’ve run hundreds of campaigns and the most successful campaigns that we deliver are the ones that really deliver that one core critical insight and then we take that core critical insight and spread it across all the different screens that are out there,” Mr. Malmad said.
“It is not our primary thought of we just need to build a mobile campaign,” he said.
Zones of mobility Brands should prioritize their partners for multiplatform campaigns, per Mr. Malmad. There are so many potential partners, it is important to be very specific and choose who you want to work with.
To help Unilever accomplish this, Mindshare focuses on different zones of mobility. The comfort zone is about achieving scale and reaching a lot of people through partners that can push messages out to traditional media and social media.
The idle zone focuses on deriving consumer insights from their mobile location history.
The hot zone of mobility is about trying to reach consumers when they are in a parking lot of a store or walking in the front door using push notifications.
Love Your Curls Unilever’s Dove brand worked with Mindshare on the Love Your Curls campaign, which was built around insights related to how young girls and women feel about their hair.
The research showed that four out 10 little girls do not like their curly hair while 10 percent of women do not love their hair because of their curls.
While the initial push was not meant to be a mobile campaign, it resulted in a significant number of women submitting stories to Unilever. This information was turned into a digital book, with 100,000 consumers downloading the content to their Kindle devices within a short period of time.
“From a Love Your Curls perspective, this really started to manifest itself into the world of mobile,” Mr. Malmad said.
Emoji keyboards From there, further research showed that 76 percent of consumers today are using emojis when they communicate and 72 percent of women want to express themselves through an emoji.
Unilever and Mindshare decided to build an emoji keyboard for the brand rather than work with the consortium that oversees official emojis, as this can take a long time.
This resulted in the first curly hair emoji keyboard that was published, with consumers able to download and share it. The keyboard represents different ethnicities and also includes animated GIFs.
Dove’s curly hair emoji keyboard was downloaded more than 890,000 times.
“We found that there was an opportunity to communicate with the consumer and give them that value so they could express themselves in a way that they do not have an opportunity to do right now,” Mr. Malmad said.
“The opportunity with keyboards is great, but how do you get people to engage with it, how do you get people to stay with their keyboards,” he said.
“You will probably see in the future, more opportunities to get people to stay in the keyboard, either through CRM or other opportunities that are valuable to consumers.”
Beacons The campaign also included TV, with spots talking about the emoji keyboard and a cover wrap on Teen Vogue with the emojis. There was also a social media component.
On the iTunes store on the day of the launch of the keyboard, Dove was trending as the most downloaded keyboard almost as soon as it launched.
For the Hellman’s brand, Unilever and Mindshare focused in on the insight that 48 percent of people do not know what they are going to eat for dinner at 4 p.m.
They build a campaign leveraging inMarket’s beacon network and relationship with Conde Nast’s Epicurious app to provide shoppers walking into grocery and mass merchant stores with content related to meal-time inspiration
“We are not pushing a Hellman’s message to people,” Mr. Malmad said. “We are pushing an Epicurious mealtime inspiration message to people and then they are going into that and experiencing different recipes they can make with Hellman’s.
“This is about integrating the brand in the shopping experience in a helpful way,” he said.
Native integrations Users also were presented with a recipe suggestion when they were in the dressing aisle, with the option to save it for later.
With other campaigns for the brand in the market at the same time, there was a 5 percent increase in perception of brand versatility and a 1 percent lift in dollar share in a $ 2 billion industry.
“I showcased a lot of different campaigns and one of the things you did not see was mobile banners,” Mr. Malmad said. “I am a big believer in banners. They work really well.
“But, also at the same time, how do we create experiences that use native integrations, keyboards, push notifications, to drive more engagement and more product sales,” he said.

New York City– A Clorox executive at Mobile Online marketer’s Mobile FirstLook: Method 2016 reported that the company is constructing first-party data and investing in ecommerce in 2016 to support how mobile is altering buyer marketing. Last fall,
Clorox tested a mobile-first end-to-end shopper-marketing program for its Hidden Valley and Soy Vay brands that leveraged advertisements, push alerts and beacons to drive factor to consider of its products with buyers while they are shopping. With survey results revealing both purchase intent and brand awareness rose, Clorox sees accuracy targeting an essential mobile marketing strategy this year.
“In 2016, it is going to be everything about precision targeting so the customer is getting a contextually pertinent message,” stated Sarah Ortman, strategic development of mobile campaigns at Clorox. “We are building a lot of first celebration data, point-of-sale data and partnering with others doing the very same.
“This will allow our messages to reach the best person,” she stated. “We are not all the method to one-to-one individualized messaging through beacons, but we are getting a bit closer.
“The other piece is a merging of the physical and digital worlds, the collapse of the funnel. We are investing greatly in ecommerce, shopperizing a lot of our material, we have an Amazon Dash button for our Clorox wipes.”
Shopper marketing evolves
Mobile and beacons are helping brands are reaching the client in aisle in methods they have not been able to do previously. Some of this is occurring independent of merchants, which is very various how buyer marketing worked previously.
In general, there are fewer opportunities for brands to engage buyers in shops than there were One Decade ago as retailers have approached a cleaner physical design with fewer end caps.
“How do you reach the client,” stated Joe Scartz, vice president of emerging media and commerce at TPN. “Increasingly more, that option revolves around mobile and digital.”
“Today, making use of Wi-Fi, GPS and beacons, we can get in front of the customer at the moment of reality with a message that is appropriate and timely to get them to put that product into the cart.”
Beacons construct
Beacons are the very best method to reach shoppers in stores, per Mr. Scartz. Nevertheless, it is still early days for beacon deployments, with 3 million delivered in 2015 while 400 million are anticipated to be shipped by 2020.
“More and more, we see the retailers themselves will most likely be the folks that own the beacon positionings and will perhaps resell the genuine estate like they would with any other buyer marketing,” Mr. Scartz stated.
The difficulty for brands sending out messages to customers in the aisle is making sure the content is relevant. If brands can identify significant material that would work in aisle, the advantage is marketing performance, as a smaller group of customers who are already in market are being targeted.
For Clorox, it built a program based on some key insights, such as that 79 percent of consumer mothers use mobile devices in the shop and 84 percent want receiving dish content from a brand. An objective was to produce a program that did not require seller approval.
The brand picked a strategy of supplying fast dish ideas utilizing its Hidden Valley seasoning packets and Soy Valley Asian marinades that would offer consumer mothers with a simple method to obtain supper on the table that night by simply buying a few items.
Hectic mothers
Difficulties in getting this information in front of mommies include that they see grocery buying as a chore, are not likely to bear in mind a 15-second television advertisement when they remain in the store and desire to enter and from the shop as quickly as possibly. Another challenge was that merchants normally control the messaging in shops.
“In spite of these difficulties, we wanted to up the ante and test out a method to drive that buyer when she is nearby a shop,” Ms. Ortman stated. “We desired to do it smartly, when she remains in shopper mode and when she remains in the aisle.”
The brand settled on back-to-school as the very best time for the project, as hectic mommies are frequently searching for brand-new meal options once the summer season is over.
Because Hidden Valley and Soy Vay do not have their own apps, Clorox and TPN partnered with inMarket to leverage its network of in-store beacons and food or buying related apps such as Epicurious, List Simplicity and CheckPoints.
The campaign reached users of these apps from the pre-shop stage all the way to when they remain in the aisle, leveraging beacons, distance marketing and targeted media for the buyer.
Messaging urged consumers to go to the appropriate aisle then offered an incentive for them to scan a product.
Users were also able to click through for recipe content, with the campaign delivering a click-through rate of 1.5 percent to 5 percent, depending upon the seller.
Walmart and Target represented at least half of the product scans, followed by Kroger.
The project was Clorox’s first test in distance marketing and beacons.
“This was very favorable for us,” Ms. Ortman stated. “We found out a ton – we moved the needle.”

WhatsApp wishes to allow businesses to communicate with its users
The news that WhatsApp will quickly start allowing company to communicate directly with users shows how popular messaging applications are reimagining standard marketing and unlocking one-to-one engagement chances for brands. WhatsApp stated in
a recent post that the platform, which is close to reaching 1 billion active users, will quickly be a totally free service as it begins testing tools allowing company to communicate straight with users while avoiding presenting third-party advertisements. With Facebook Messenger and WeChat likewise focused on working as a go-between for companies and customers, online marketers will have to carefully watch this area establishes so they can make the most of what is forming up to be a substantial brand-new marketing opportunity on mobile.” It is considerable in messaging space that now the 3 biggest messaging apps– WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat– will be concentrated on a very helpful business case– messaging apps as main avenues in between businesses and customers, “said Mark Beccue, primary analyst at Mark Beccue Consulting Inc.” These messaging apps are– when it comes to WeChat– or will become platforms from which third-party apps will hang off of,”he said.
“The chat interface enables easy customer interaction and extremely personalized, contextualized product and service shipment.”For online marketers, this is another indication of the times as we move away from advertising as we know it to personalized and contextualized items
and services. It marks the beginning of the real marketing one-to-one era.”Global reach WhatsApp envisions companies being able to make the most of the platform to stay in contact with customers. For instance, a customer might interact
with a bank about a current
deal or with an airline company about a delayed flight. The move is the current example of how messaging apps are evolving
into platforms where companies and consumers can remain in contact. For example, brands such as Hyatt are leveraging Businesses on Messenger to
bring conversations to social media, including real-time chat and deal invoices(see story ). The benefit that WhatsApp guarantees as compared to other messaging apps is its broad international reach and strong presence in huge markets such as India and
Brazil. WhatsApp likewise boasts strong user communities, providing a vital chance for marketers who are considerate of users.” WhatsApp has actually really found out how to develop
neighborhoods and groups of interests among relied on friends that open up interaction and influence,”stated Lara Mehanna, general supervisor of U.S. and vice president of sales and company
advancement at Sonata.”For marketers, they can now create groups of communities for their business, brands, or service and/or
construct that one to one relationship with customers in an environment they are currently spending a great deal of time in.”Specifically as marketers consider the global markets or the Hispanic community, where messaging applications are a primary method of communication– or the only method,”she stated.”This unlocks for more direct interaction with communities that may have been harder to permeate so carefully through other marketing efforts.” Recognizing texting’s significance Marketers will deal with several difficulties on WhatsApp, consisting of recognizing text as a crucial real-time avenue to consumers. Likewise, marketers will require to figure out the proper cadence and type of messaging that deals with WhatsApp’s users.”This is really big news for the messaging space and how messaging applications can be an efficient tool for marketers
,”Ms. Mehanna said.”Individuals still seem to consider texting as secondary to social, browsing and email, however it needs to be seen as immediate, direct, and effective method for marketers
to construct the conversation with their clients and their close communities.” I do likewise think online marketers have to be a bit mindful in how
they make use of WhatsApp,”she stated.”It isn’t really a news feed application and customers will not take too kindly to over-communication that isn’t really relevant and appropriate.” There will have to be a lot of finesse used to comprehend how this can be most reliable.”Determining chatbots While WhatsApp will not be making it possible for third-party advertisements, online marketers will require find out the best ways to successfully leverage
marketing to integrate with their messaging app strategies. Otherwise, these programs might be too restricted in scope to be meaningful for brands.” The advertising side is essential to drive the message into the messaging application,”Ms. Mehanna stated.” It isn’t really about in-messaging application advertising however about informing consumers that brands have new services and assistance that can be activated by means of WhatsApp and through this actively open the providing other interested circles of buddies.” I have seen the difficulty of only launching in-messaging application program being limited to just those that are actively checking out the app and focusing on it,”she said.
“By offering more comprehensive reach for the ability, you not just drive a larger audience however you permit the guerilla-style marketing of referrals work its magic by means of shares within WhatsApp communities.”This turns the challenge into their most significant chance. Get those that take part in your marketing program be the advocates to gain more clients into the fold.”It is clear that messaging platforms are positive they will have a substantial function for customers and online marketers moving forward. The competitors in the United States consist of Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Kik along with Slack and Uber. Not only will marketers require familiarize themselves with the various platforms out there however likewise discover a few of their unique capabilities, such as chatbots, which
imitate conversation with human users.” Twenty sixteen will be a year of gambles and threats for online marketers in messaging app methods, there will be a couple of house runs, however more strikeouts
than any sort of hit,”Mr. Beccue stated.”The reason is a number of messaging apps are competing for market share and platform relevance.”Snapchat and Kik, focused on a younger audience, are more new media pioneers, with brand-new type of ad
units, consisting of chatbots,”he stated.”These platforms are more traditional-marketing unit-friendly.”Others, like Facebook Messenger and Slack, will provide brand-new company designs for businesses to engage with consumers beyond conventional marketing, focusing on client engagement. This is the year we will all be presented to chatbots.”Senior Editor Chantal Tode covers advertising, messaging, legal/privacy and database/CRM. Reach her at chantal@mobilemarketer.com.

House Depot taps mobile to create excellent in-store experiences
Although mobile has cemented its status as an essential sales tool, sellers including Sephora, Home Depot and Walgreens are leveraging smartphones to enhance in-store shopping experiences with functions such as product reviews, product suggestions and in-store layout maps.
DMI’s Mobile In-Store Experience Rankings examine the quality of mobile offerings from 100 top United States merchants, with a concentrate on the in-store experience. While mobile is undoubtedly a powerful sales driver, the channel is best made use of to provide a problem-free and streamlined shopping experience for customers in bricks-and-mortar shops, as evidenced by Walgreens’ and Home Depot’s top rankings.
“Brands that stuck out did two things: comprehended their target audience and constructed in smooth capability that catered to the requirements of that audience,” stated Jeremy Gilman, vice president of technique for DMI’s brand marketing and customer experience group. “For example, Walmart notified its shoppers ways to save the most– merely and quickly.
“Providing them the ability to see rates, discount rates, rivals’ costs, and gives them the power to be compensated if the buyer finds a lower cost elsewhere,” he said. “On a much deeper function level, many merchants who scored well offer buyers a barcode-scanning function.
“This may be the simplest method for merchants to quickly connect in-store shoppers to product details housed on ecommerce Web sites. This helps buyers search for pricing, stock, recommendations, reviews and other content about an item.”
Mobile’s unmatchable tools DMI’s evaluation was carried out in accordance with the company’s Mobile In-Store Maturity Design, which determines six essential in-store experience aspects that are of vital importance to clients. These include pricing, inventory, shop guidance, personalization, checkout and loyalty and product evaluations and guidance.
Walgreens captured leading honors this time around, thanks to the retailer’s easy-to-use mobile app, which provides tools such as interactive in-store maps to assist newbie consumers, digital rewards cards, clinic appointment scheduling and prescription reordering, among others.
This essentially allows customers to leverage their mobile phones as personal shopping buddies, a technique that likewise eases anxiety for busy store associates. While users can complete commerce-related tasks in the app, such as making use of the mobile self-checkout service, it eventually works as a way to provide additive experiences that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds.
“Standout performers likewise integrated their loyalty or benefits programs into the in-store experience– making it simple for consumers to track and redeem points, receive special invites for discounts and save payment info for simple checkout at the register,” Mr. Gilman stated.
Home Depot and Sephora ranked in at second and 3rd location, respectively. The home enhancement brand’s app excels at browsing stores, comparing prices and bring up item evaluations, which are three vital elements for a lot of its buyers.
Walgreens buyers can utilize mobile phones as an in-store navigational device
Nevertheless, DMI recommended that Home Depot focus more on customization in future updates, as many included promotions are generic and not customized to each user and his/her purchase history.
On the other hand, Sephora’s mobile offerings are created to completely match the in-store experience. Users can rapidly access commitment info and likewise delve deep into a library of evaluations, how-to videos and item content that can transform their personal gadget into a mobile makeup maven.
In addition, ABI Research recommends that steadily enhancing 4G Wi-Fi rollouts will strengthen shops’ mobile and physical traffic this year. The business forecasts that, by 2020, enhancing 4G adoption will drive monthly in-building traffic approximately 53 exabytes each month.
Consumers who maybe were not planning to browse in a particular shop might be sustained to walk inside if they identify signage exposing that 4G Wi-Fi is offered, which could result in them making an unintended purchase.
In-store connection is set to become an essential technique for 2016, implying that retailers might find themselves at a severe downside amongst their competitors if they select not to adopt these tools.
“The majority of retailers that scored highest on our assessment were working towards something described as ‘store mode,"” Mr. Gilman said. “In addition to offering ecommerce capability through an application, these retailers unlock added features when a consumer is in one of their physical stores developed to assist and improve the in-store buying experience.”
Experiences trump products Numerous brands’ frustrating holiday sales this previous year exposed another growing pattern: consumers now have the tendency to shell out their money on memorable experiences instead of product products. While the likes of Macy’s and Urban Outfitters saw fledgling sales in December, restaurant earnings were reported to jump 8 percent, according to a current census.
Last year, millennials, a highly sought-after market, were anticipated to spend approximately $ 750 each on media, such as streaming services. This shows that consumers want to open their wallets, but are increasingly skipping garments and device items in favor of eating in restaurants, going on vacation or streaming their favorite programs.
As a result, retailers should keep this fundamental shift in mind when considering brand-new ways with which to target consumers.
Makeup fans can take contouring classes within Sephora’s app
One example of a brand leveraging experience to complement in-store shopping is fitness garments marketer Lululemon. Its Flatiron flagship shop offers a concierge service that assists visitors secure a spot in a workout class, which could be the best way to put a recent purchase of yoga pants to use.
Offering this concierge service through mobile might reach an even wider audience and garner more fans for Lululemon.
“The mobile experience must move when you remain in a physical shop,” Mr. Gilman said. “Mobile has the power making every shopping experience smarter, and alleviate discomfort points along the path to buy.
“Our research exposes that consumers want mobile buying tools that make in-store buying easier, quicker and more customized like their online shopping experiences. Mobile phone today are advanced enough to change a shopper’s experience– retailers simply have to harness that power and thoroughly craft that experience for consumers.”
