THE THIRD SCREEN: Marketing to Your Customers in a World Gone Mobile
A new breed of consumer is emerging. The smartphone has enabled consumers to be plugged in, always on, and in control of their own media exposure in a way that changes the fundamental assumptions of marketing and service.
To reach this new consumer, businesses must move from mass marketing to participatory marketing, where consumers tap into extensive online networks of information about a company`s products and services. In THE THIRD SCREEN: Marketing to Your Customers in a World Gone Mobile (Nicholas Brealey Publishing), mobile evangelist and leading business author Chuck Martin offers a roadmap, grounded on research, that will help businesses understand the necessity of -- and the detailed steps for -- providing mobile marketing and advertising.
The first screen -- the television -- allowed companies to send ads directly to consumers` living rooms, reaching millions with well-crafted and tested messages as the consumers maintained a passive role. The second screen -- the personal computer -- allowed companies to interactively communicate with and sell to consumers, easily gaining customer feedback. The third screen -- the mobile device -- changes the rules entirely by creating a completely -- untethered consumer, free from the constraints of traditional broadcast or online communication, who can search on the move and share information with other customers in real time.
The challenge for marketers, Martin explains, is to decide the best way to interact on the consumer`s terms, and to define the future of their brand in the mobile environment. Going beyond a mere exploration of the technological advances that are being made in the field of m-commerce, Martin delves into the behavioral changes that go hand-in-hand with them, preparing marketers and businesspeople for what lies ahead.
THE THIRD SCREEN reveals how key mobile innovators, representing brands both large and small, are becoming the mobile platform providers of the future. It clarifies for marketers the role of m-commerce; mobile video; SMS (text) messaging; location-based marketing, advertising, and media; and the new laws of inbound marketing.
