Must Be Opt-In
•  All mobile advertising and marketing must be based
on active opt-in (ask each customer for permission)
•  It means work
•  It means you have to convince every prospective
mobile phone owner to volunteer to sign up with you
•  It means you have to give honest value to the
consumer
•  But - the value of an opt-in database of consumers,
willing to accept ads, and giving you info about them
and permission to use them - is infinitely more
valuable than demographics data on mass media
consumption..

Value of Opt-In: Kiehl’s
•  Kiehl’s is a premium cosmetics store brand in the
USA. They introduced an opt-in mobile campaign
of ‘Kiehl’s Offers’ that promised not to spam
customers and send only 3 SMS message
offers per month
•  Campaign was featured in stores, online
and allowed short code sign-up via SMS
•  After 6 months of modest message load, the
result was 73% of customers signed up had
made at least one purchase with those offers
•  A customer survey sent to the same recepients
achieved 81% response rate (also via SMS)

What is Value of New Black Gold
•  Qustodian revealed at Forum Oxford in 2009 that the
theoretical maximum value of personal ownership of
attention, for marketing and advertising is about 3%
of the global GDP or 2.5 Trillion US Dollars
If Google were able to only take half of this
market (via Android on most phones) they
could make all calls free - and still earn 50%
profit margin!

Advocurrency in Gaming
•  Beach Buggy Racing first mobile game to
incorporate Jonathan MacDonald’s idea of
‘advocurrency’
•  As normal, gamers collect rare, hidden
treasures to convert to virtual currency. They
also can pay to buy virtual currency (aka ‘inapp purchase’)
•  There is advertising of course. What is new,
now gamers can recharge their virtual wallet
by watching ads at times when they feel like
it (rather than interruptive ads before or
during gaming)
