WWW, emails & SMS will drive mobile traffic
Accurate device detection is a must


Handset detection options
There is really only one option


Mobile site implementation
Because of the proliferation of handsets, mobile is more complicated than desktop

 Developing a single mobile presentation layer is false economy
 A minimum of three is required (smart, feature and legacy phones)
 The are four broad approaches:
 Mobile CSS stylesheet within CMS
 Integrated with CMS and client hosted (parallel)
 Less risk for the client but reporting is poor (requires access to APIs)

 Integrated with CMS and supplier hosted (parallel)
 Produces a superior result but dependent upon on-going support from supplier

 Transcoded
 Quick to market, but neither highly resilient nor creatively adventurous

 It is impossible to do properly without using APIs for handset
detection, capabilities definition, content adaptation and reporting

Approaches to mobile site build
Best practice demands a parallel site, driven from the same content/CMS

Credentials presentation

The value of third party tools (APIs)
Mobile relies upon data from mobile networks and handsets are diverse

 Uniqueness
 For cellular this is not measured by IP address but a unique and
persistent ID from the mobile network
 Most desktop reporting tools misclassify or lose many mobile sessions
 Device identification
 There are over 10,000 profiles and 5-10 are added each day
 A cached resource will be out of date very quickly

 Managing such a resource is costly
 Real-time content adaptation
 MIME type support varies by device, screen-sizes differ, coding
frameworks are diverse, handsets have different hard and soft buttons


Design and UX are as important as on desktop
Navigation – ‘Bread Crumbs’

Location dependant content Leading content

Promoting Maps Search

Time/promo specific content Leading content

Apps

 Device and OS fragmentation is not insurmountable
 either native, per platform
 or cross-platform ‘web-apps’
 Don’t build native unless you need to
 “… develop new apps as web apps, and turn them into native apps when
they've been validated.” Daniel Roth, Fortune 500 (AdAge)


Mobile App or Mobile Website?
A native app comes into its own for games and tools; a site usually suffices

Shortcodes & QR codes

 QR codes work much the same
as the barcodes you see printed
on products at a retailer
 A code is scanned using a
device (mobile) and software
(QR reader), and is translated
into meaningful information
(e.g. web links)

Enterprise messaging
Messaging volumes continue to grow – everyone can use SMS and MMS

 Reaching consumers with
messaging is incredibly effective
 74% would opt-in to a brand’s
database if done properly
 Consumers open to receiving
messaging between 10am and
8pm in particular
 69% happy to receive a
message per week
 MMS achieves amazing cut-
through
