2. Case Study: Joe’s Spaza Joe, who owns a convenience store (Spaza) in Soweto realised that his customers were the perfect audience to experiment some Mobile Marketing on. Almost all of them carried their mobile phones with them 24/7 and although they may not use the internet on their Mobile phones very much, they certainly were not using PC based internet. Objective To drive awareness and viral marketing about the special offers available at Joes’ Spaza as cost effectively as possible so as to increase the footfall through the store. Solution Create a Mobile Site that can be updated regularly. Monitor it’s success and then target those people who used the Mobi Site with a beneficial discount or special offer. Phase 1 – Mobi Site Launch a basic Mobile Campaign Site with product offerings, special offers, click to call, an image of their store location and a registration tool so as to start collecting data. Phase 2 – SMS Voucher Once Joe had collected a handful of people’s data (name and Mobile number) he wanted to do some cheap SMS marketing. So he sent them all an SMS with an embedded url. That url opened up a different Mobile Campaign Site advertising a special offer. The voucher itself was in the form of a 2D bar code. Phase 3 – Data Capture on a Mobile When people who had received this SMS (or indeed had it forwarded to them), Joe was able to scan every person’s screen and in turn open a Data Capture Management Tool that, in accordance with the new Consumer Protection Act, allowed Joe to save customers names, number and other details with their consent, for future promotions etc. Results 50 people visited the MobiSite in week 1 150 in week 2 350in week 3 750vouchers were sent via sms at R0.22 / sms 350 vouchers were redeemed in store 250 people consented to receiving regular sms marketing and gave more than just their name and number.
