Brands & the Rise of Experiential Marketing

Thursday, July 3rd, 2014

Blog imageDid you step out of the house lately and bump into some interactive installation by some brand? Well, if so, then this can be nearly called as experiential marketing as this is that type of messaging which you can touch, view or feel in a physical space. Yes, it indeed is on the rise, and marketers of all types of brands and products are trying their best to connect with their consumers in person and also digitally through Tweets, YouTube videos, Instagram etc. Marketers and brand managers seem to have shifted their prime focus on building consumer experiences through their marketing efforts. They are encouraging consumers to share their personal experiences with the brand during certain activities, concerts, speaking sessions, followed by their overall brand experiences.

Engaging with audiences beyond physical experiences is what the marketers of this era are looking at. Therefore, they are, through their experiential marketing efforts, targeting, attracting and leveraging as many consumers as possible.

But then, what a brand does to build excitement, drive eagerness and generate traffic reflects in the experience it gives to its audience in the digital space.

Nowadays, what brands do matters a lot more than what they say. Don’t you agree on that?

biWe now live in the digital age where we have an immense number of virtual communities, not ignoring the fact that brands do rely on social media for interacting and engaging with their consumers. But with the need of the hour being breaking through the online marketing clutter, brands need to think beyond the social landscape. They now need to create an online-offline connect by providing with memorable experiences to their consumers.

If thoughtfully planned and strategically executed, experiential marketing has a great potential to improve brand performance and value by producing exciting experiences for consumers leading them to share it on social platforms.

So, in order to amplify your brand’s online presence and create a digital impact with experiential marketing make sure your digital strategy ensures these points:

Interaction

Do ensure that the quality of the interaction you do with your consumers is not compromised because an experience has a far greater impact as it motivates people to take action. If the interaction is good, then they build relationship with the brand further sharing it online.

Building Relationships

Experiential marketing not just delivers greater responses or impressions, but leads to building deeper relationships with consumers making them feel the connection with the brands. This relationship building mechanism leads to establishing brand advocacy for the brand through online and word of mouth communication.

Breaking the clutter

As the clutter factor is increasing in the digital marketplace, a lot of consumers are becoming resistant to this clutter and are not ready to take this flood of messages. But with experiential marketing, consumers will not just see, but feel and remember your brand message for a very long time. So, brands can break the clutter by offering an experience to their consumers and increasing awareness for their brand.

Customers – Targeting the right ones!

Targeting the right consumers for experiential marketing is the key. As this marketing technique appeals to those ready to take risks and try out new things and learn too. The right consumer will experience the brand, understand its message and walk away with an intention to purchase or atleast share about it online.

The Evolution of Augmented Reality & Brands!

Monday, June 16th, 2014

clip_image002What is Augmented Reality? Augmented Reality is a digital technology that covers images or video over physical objects. AR provides all types of information such as location, visual, audio, heading, and acceleration data, and opens a way for real-time feedback. Augmented Reality bridges the gap between physical or traditional means of advertising and digital experience, in turn empowering brands to engage with their customers and get greater business results in the process. With the active convergence of mobile, social and context, augmented reality can turn out be a great app for sure.

AR lets one use their smartphone or tablet’s camera to see the digital information on top of a physical environment. Hence, it offers digital enhancements to the real world senses of touch, sound, sight, smell and taste. Now let‘s see how augmented reality can be used by businesses. Most brands and businesses can use it for:

  • · Product demos/manuals
  • · Multiple product views
  • · Deals or offers
  • · Interactive social media
  • · Real-time information
  • · Sneak peek beneath the surface
  • · Pitches & Tenders
  • · Online campaigns
  • · Events & Conferences
  • · Point of Sale
  • · Tourism & Leisure
  • You must be wondering that how this augmented reality works? What is found by a basic research is that when compared to traditional marketing, AR marketing works much better. This is because when people touch or interact with a product or a device, they establish an emotional bond with it which makes them more likely to buy it.

AR leads you from a printed advertisement to an offer, from a booth in an exhibition to a Facebook contest, from a retail shop window to a digital market.

How AR works

  • · App and smartphone camera sensors combine reality with virtual overlays
  • · Readers or viewers hold phones in front of a printed area, surface or page
  • · The AR app searches for images and patterns on a server
  • · The App validates image and sends back the associated content

Major sectors using AR

  • · Retail
  • · E-commerce
  • · Real Estate
  • · Industrial Sector
  • · Education and Training
  • · Print and publishing
  • · Location based services

Few brands using AR

Benefits of using Augmented Reality

  • · Greater interactivity
  • · Real-time information
  • · Trackability
  • · The augmented time of the consumer with the service or the product presented for a prolonged period of time
  • · The relationship built through this engagement is long lasting
  • · The efficiency to spread to masses through the digital space
  • · The ability to build a series of actions, updates and campaigns through various applications


Augmented Reality Statistics:

• The total revenue generated from AR was around $300 million in 2013.
• In 2014, around 30% mobile subscribers will use AR at least once in a week.
• In 2014, more than 864 million smartphones will have AR technology enabled.
• By 2016, AR revenue is expected to cross $600 billion.
• It is expected that by 2017 more than 2.5 billion mobile AR apps will to be downloaded

Revenue generation through AR seems to be on a positive rise and is being successfully tried by brands. AR till now has evolved to a great extent and continues to account for infinite downloads. If brands can provide an experience to customers in a variety of locations, it is evident that consumer engagement will increase too. Hence, in this age of digital era and programmatic advertising, Augmented Reality is expected to be very attractive. What do you think? Do share your thoughts in the comments below!

Brands and Digital Media Campaign

Monday, June 2nd, 2014

Blog ImageBy 2016, it is believed that there will be 10 billion mobile connected devices which will exceed the global population of 7.3 billion people on earth. But, reaching these many number of consumes is convoluted. The reason for this is that 20% of all the web traffic is already on mobile (majorly via iphone, ipad or android). As a result of which, we see a lot of apps being developed by brands for engaging with their consumers.

 

Even consumers spend more time using apps than mobile web. Flash, another element for video playback compatibility is found only on laptops and desktops, not on mobile devices or iphone and ipad for that matter. A lot of mobile devices infact have HTML5. And if you check out, maximum reach always requires Flash, HTML5, Mobile Web and mobile Apps for android and iOS.

Moving on, what was noticed eventually was that viewing videos on social networks grew. As the reach through these various mediums is increasing, now the time is for brands and businesses to monetize it. Yes, we mean generating revenue. It is expected that the number of users watching pay-per-view video on mobile phones and tablets will increase in the coming years. Even television is estimated to add billions of revenue due to digitalization followed by online video advertising.

What we intend to bring to light is the importance of a digital media campaign for brands. This would prove to be the fuel for brands to drive into the minds of their consumers by engaging them through the right path.

Let us see what a framework of a complete digital media campaign holds:

  • The Communication Strategy: This is the blue print of a digital media campaign which focuses or brings to light the specifics methods and mediums that can be used to reach a brand’s target demographic.
  • The Visual Identity: This is the face of any digital campaign, basically it is the visual representation of the campaign message which conveys and also supports that campaign message, visually.
  • Message: It is the heart of a brand’s digital media campaign. It fuels every interaction throughout the campaign and is at the forefront of any digital media campaign.
  • Outreach: Reaching out to the target consumers through communication to convey the campaign message.
  • The next thing is,
    Media Buying: This includes getting the best for your marketing budget when it comes to media based ad purchase.
  • Interactive Media: A successful content management system allows websites to become the centre zone for communications rather than just a static webpage.
  • Interactive Web Portals would also require unique functionality.
  • Social Media: Last but not the least, a successful social media presence is that in which all profiles are kept on brand through custom design profiles and messaging.

Hence, the success of your brand’s digital media campaign will depend on all the above factors combined together to communicate a campaign message, advertising, design, videos and publishing that not only reaches the target audience but creates a lasting impression too!

How Can Brands Leverage Snapchat

Thursday, May 15th, 2014

imageMarketers and brand managers are constantly looking out for new ways to connect with their customers & consequently social and digital media have introduced a variety of communication channels that help them do just that. When we talk about digital media, it goes without saying that digital content needs to be relevant and catchy enough to gain viewer’s attention. Constant experimentation is being done to find out the exclusivity that they can provide with their content. Meaningful, short, unique yet relevant and watchable content is the latest trend and brands are optimistic on experimenting with digital only content in the future as well. Digital content is really a way to go!

With tools like Instagram and Snapchat, will the brands be able to offer this exclusivity to their audiences? Moving on, Snapchat is the latest social media phenomenon. The promptly growing mobile app lets users communicate by sending photos that automatically disappear after a few seconds. But then, can brands overcome the creative challenges and turn disappearing content to their advantage?

The worry underneath lies for brands is that viewers have only one chance to view a Snap which is said to take away the excitement. But, there are times when these Snaps can be replayed during a day which could be useful for brands using the app. Snap

Advantages of using Snapchat:
· It allows drawing or writing on photos and videos
· Space is not an issue
· Image is temporary
· User-friendly
· Attention grabbing

Limitations or challenges of using Snapchat:
· Snapchat does not allow marketers to improve the quality of image before they send out as it lacks editing capabilities
· It does not provide space for marketers to add text to their messages as its visually driven
· Fans and audiences won’t be able to find you on Snapchat until they add you as a friend
· Metrics, yes, Snapchat offers zero metrics due to the lack of in-app metrics. this does not allow you to track the credibility of your campaign

Well, depending on your brand’s demographics, it is indeed a great challenge to evolve with Snapchat. And guess what, brands are into it already snapping to glory! Though, brands which are majorly looking to target younger audience are using this app.

Few Examples of Brands in the Snapchat Bandwagon are:

Taco Bell used Snapchat to announce the release of it ‘Beefy Crunch Burrito’. All the users who had added Taco Bell as a friend were sent a ‘Snap’ of Burrito along with the release date of the new product.

Tbell1   Tbell2

Taco Bell also used its presence on other social media platforms effectively to spread the word about its Snapchat profile. Taco Bell was the first brand to use Snapchat’s stories feature through which it released a series of eight photos and videos. With Snapchat Stories feature brands can merge multiple snaps to create a story that remains visible for 24 hours.

See what Mc Donalds is doing on Snapchat

Also, Mashable mentions the top 8 brands rocking Snapchat. Have a look!

Ways brands can use Snapchat

imageThough there are not many a brands doing much on Snapchat but, a selected few are taking this app by storm and using it in their digital strategy to reach the masses. A couple of things that they are doing through Snapchat are:

  • · Introducing new products
  • · Asking immediate action or reaction
  • · Hosting Games/Contests
  • · Inviting fans to participate
  • · Share candid or behind the scene moments
  • · Show something rare like, limited edition offers, coupons & discounts
  • · Get creative with targeted videos (share a unique story by linking two-three videos in succession)
  • · Use celebs
  • · Incorporate other channels
  • · Use the Snapchat features like draw, type, time, temperature etc. and also add filters
  • · Share Snapchat stories
  • · Give a sneak peek into exclusive brand content
  • · Use it do some fun
  • · Introducing new team member or employee

ROI: Brands need to be prepared to measure the brand lift with the use of Snapchat. What needs to be kept track of is impressions, awareness and demographics. Snapchat like most of the social media platforms is based on relationship building.

See how Snapchat has added a few new features and how brands can capitalize on the same. Even thenextweb.com also mentions this news from Snapchat.

While Snapchat is still trying to add more features and monetize this platform, brands have an immense opportunity to establish themselves as ‘ahead of the game’ and reach their demographics. In order to do a Snapchat campaign brands just need a creative strategy as it is both cost effective and easy to implement. One has to be creative on Snapchat, always and persistently and push the limits of creativity. Getting results though is not going to be a one day affair as relationships take time. One has to plan, measure and then work towards lifting their brand through Snapchat. What do you think? Can brands pull off Snapchatting Successfully? Do share your thoughts in the comments below.

Therefore, brands are taking a leap ahead to develop ways to move online campaigns into the real world and use these human connections to augment customer’s experiences with their products. Brands in this manner extend their online personalities into the real world through live events, livestreams, reality shows, giveaways etc. to name a few.
