The most successul companieswere proactive, coordinated theirorganization and built a strategy toadvance their brand in the new reality.
Mobile is resetting business againandnow is the opportunity to get it right romthe start, rather than playing catch-up.
Mobile will orce companies to rethinkand redesign how they market, sellto and service their customers.
Mobile will enable companies thatsuccessully build relationshipsto be bolddriving bigger and
better business outcomes.
Mobile will rustrate the cookie-cuttercampaign, bother the bulk-email andannoy broad-audience advertisers.

might still be o-target or ill-timed.
To win, brands must approach consumerson a one-to-one basis. That meansgetting the right message to the rightcustomer at the right time. And the rightmessage must hold real value or thecustomerit cant be just a sales pitch.
Where do customers fnd value? Inormation to help them
navigate daily challenges Interesting or surprising content
relevant to their interests News o changing conditions
that will require them to adapt Smile-worthy or shareable
content to enjoy and delight Just-in-time data and tools
to make better decisions
Mobile is personal. People customize
their smartphones in the sameway they personalize all o theirenvironments, rom work spaces tohomes to automobiles. And because theirconnected device is personal, consumershave a ar lower tolerance or interruptionthan in television or Internet media,
where advertising is an accepted.
This new, personal channel requirespermission. Not unspoken approval.It requires active permission romconsumers to engage. Deliver the rightmessage ater they have explicitly chosento let you and your business will beneft.
For business, this channel represents
immense opportunity. When else canyou say your brand is literally carriedaround-the-clock in your customerspocket? You have the opportunity tobecome integrated into their dailylieinto their routine. Delight themand they will reward you with more
attention, more business, greaterloyalty and positive word-o-mouth.
Being this close to the consumer is aprivilege. Your business model must treatcustomers as individuals. Do this well,and you will win their hearts and minds.

15 The Third Stage of Mobile Investment14Connect with the Connected
In the frst wave, brands approachedmobile as a variation o the Internet, withsimilar advertising tacticsbanner ads,pop-ups and web-based tools. Limitationsand low perormance quickly emerged,because advertising contradicts the highlypersonal nature o mobile. Advertisingtalks at the user; its a one-way broadcast.
However, many businesses remainocused on this frst wave. Marketingcompanies spent more than $8billion on mobile advertising in2012, according to eMarketer.
In the second wave, brands builtapps. Development exploded due tolow barriers to entry. Unlike mobileadvertising, apps ft naturally in themobile environment, providing a deeper,more interactive user experience thatgreatly surpasses that o the Web.
This second wave o investment also puta premium on real estatethe spacean app occupies on a mobile device.While a customer might bookmarka site or ollow a brand, gaining andkeeping an apps place on a device
has become the mobile gold rush.
Apps allow or customization andpersonalization o the deviceindividually chosen and custom-organized. Unlike advertisements,which essentially shout at consumers,apps create the possibility o two-way interactions between the userand the business. However, in this
second wave, many brands haveailed to personalize the experienceto ully connect to their customers.
In the third wave, brands will usemobile to transorm customerrelationships. It starts with askingor their preerences, as customersdefne how they want to engage. This
personalization builds trust, creatinga constant ow o communication.
Next, brands will deepen theircustomer relationships, using dataon location, preerences and pastengagement behavior to create custom

receive value, loyalty soars.
Its a marketing paradoxwhencustomers have the control to customizeand limit a brands messages, they becomemore engaged. Less is more. It doesnt takea dozen messages to delight someone, just
one message, tailored to their interestsand specifc needs and timed right.
Brands that ocus on relevance over reachand value over requency build enduringcustomer relationships and outpacethe competition. Thats the power o

amily time? Location is a marketersgreatest asset to uncover context ora consumer, enabling brands to tailorand time messages appropriately.
Its what makes mobile mobile.Combining location data with other
contextual inormation gives brands theopportunity to truly delight customers.
For example, a business traveler arrivingor a ight may have just advancedtheir requent yer status. Send them apush message to thank them or their
loyalty and alert them o new beneftstheyll receive. They might be able totake advantage o a club lounge, whichcan transorm an annoying wait in anuncomortable boarding gate chair intotwo hours o peace or productivity.
their competitors develop mobile
relationships aster and better.
MRM goes beyond the creation oapps to consider a broader, strategicapproach to acquiring, convertingand retaining customers. It integratestechnologies including apps, push
messaging, in-app landing pages andthe digital wallet to deliver value inan individuals preerred context.
Because the mobile world is new andrapidly evolving, it is also ragmented.But we predict mobile technology
will soon connect the dots, driven byboth brand and consumer demand,to integrate CRM, Big Data and otherenterprise-level technology.

21 The Mandate20Connect with the Connected
Mobile Relationship Managementrecognizes that while marketingwas once brand-centric, it must nowbe customer-centric. Thoughtulexecution on this strategy will gobeyond marketing, howeverit also
requires the participation o sales,product teams, support and the broaderbusiness that interacts with customers.
Weve described how winning in mobilemeans redesigning how you thinkabout the customer experience. The
shit in mind-set applies to metrics too,as the strength and depth o mobilerelationshipswhich ultimatelydrive sales, loyalty and reerralsare the new metrics or success.
IN MOBILE, THERE ARE NO
SECOND CHANCES.
The Mandate:
Deliver Value to
Customers Based on
Data They Share
In the past decade, customers
expectations have been shaped by socialmedia, as the Internet becomes moreuser-centric and inuenced by socialconnections. The ability to share personalexperiences immediately is expected,as is the ability to give immediateand public eedback to a brand. Praise
and criticism, rants and ravesitsall out there or the world to see.
As people gravitated toward socialvalidation online, brands moved intothat space as well, exhorting customersto ollow, like and share their pages,
posts and content. But savvy businessesrealized a more undamental shit:their interactions with customerswere moving rom transactions toconnections. Brands gained ans.
The move rom personal computers to
mobile devices represents an even greaterdeparture rom the old transaction mind-set. Untethered rom their computers,customers are acting in the moment,making purchasing decisions andinuencing other potential customers.
This raises the bar or brands. Consumers

expect more than goods or services when
they decide which companies to inviteinto their lives via app download. Theyexpect value-added content. I they aredisappointedperhaps by an app thatdoesnt perorm or shoots intrusivemessages at themtheyll soon deleteit. But i they are allowed to control that
engagement, the app might become apermanent fxture and get regular use.
Most importantly, you wontget a second chance.
Mobile is the biggest earned media
opportunity since social. Your constantly-connected customer carries yourbrand in their hand. You can be thereor them when they work, when theplay, whenever they need you. Whenyou surprise and deliver exceptionaluser experience and service, they
will shout it rom the rootops.
TREAD CAREFULLY
Mobile can be hugely rewardingor companies, but it can be equallyunorgiving. Smartphones havelimited real estate. Consumers will

value and treat them with respect.
Despite the prolieration o apps,consumers now carry ewer appson their phones than they did a ewyears ago. The tension is building.
Failure is total, and irrevocable.Every company is just one tap away
rom exile. On the Web, customersmight fnd their way back to yourwebsite, but with apps, once you areremoved, it will take extraordinaryeort to get back on their phones.
Losing these customers is catastrophic
because your mobile customers are yourbest customers. They give you access totheir lives because they want you to bea part o it. They give you access to theirlocation data because they trust you willtreat it with respect. Losing access to thesecustomers is a disaster or your brand.
Just as customers will trumpet thewonderul things you do or them, theywill call out the awul things you doto them. Your worst mistakes will beknown to the world, quickly. Let them settheir preerences. Respect them. Ask or
permission to engage more closely. Respect
their answers. Make sure every messagemakes contextual sense and delivers value.
