Social, location and mobile are all interrelated and each plays a role in how you engage with those watching your screens. However, not every interaction needs to be based around social engagement or even utilize cutting edge technology. A simple texting campaign can provide a greater reach and response rate than NFC (Near Field Communication), QR Codes or a social campaign, plus texting is more widely adopted. So why are we so fixated on these new technologies when mobile campaigns/texting are right in front of us?
In this session, you will ...
1. Hear the pros and cons of "en vogue" technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, QR codes and geo location with the benefits of traditional mobile campaigns.
2. Learn tips and tricks for setting up test campaigns and determining which technology is right for your venue, client or campaign
3. Discover why email and mobile still serve a valid role within media and shouldn't be neglected or pushed aside for some of the new "en vogue" technologies
