#3. Mobile User Optimization

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

The Future for Mobile is all about the “Digital Concierge”

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

Right now you can say “where’s the nearest gas station” and wearables will navigate you there via haptic nudges of

various vibration!

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

You will ask a “yes or no question” and the wearable will answer you via haptic

nudges of various vibration!

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

Embrace “Glanceable Marketing!”

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

Build Apps that Provide Value!

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

What is the optimal context and timing for my service?

How does it depend not only on location and buying stage, but on time of day, proximity to other resources, activity, or mood?

How do my messages look?

Does my app provide a “just-in-time” benefit?

Digital Marketers need to be Asking:

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

The Law of Wearables Success

#SMX #12C2 @MediaWyse

“In order to be successful, any given piece of wearable technology has to be useful the entire time it’s on your body.”
