5. So… Whatever Happened to QR Codes?
• By the beginning of 2014, no one seemed excited to be using QR codes—at
least, not like they used to.
• They were supposed to make finding the webpages and information you
wanted easier, and they were a great way for marketers to direct individuals
in the physical world to the virtual one.
• You can really see the death of the QR code in how they have been used on
billboards. How is a driver ever supposed to be able to scan that code?
• using QR codes on product tags, in paper advertisements, and around brick-and-
mortar stores is still a great way to incorporate the virtual into the
physical, especially if the QR’s destination is useful and engaging
information.

8. NFC – Near Field Communication
Near field communication, abbreviated NFC, is a form of contactless
communication between devices like smartphones or tablets. Contactless
communication allows a user to wave the smartphone over a NFC compatible
device to send information without needing to touch the devices together or go
through multiple steps setting up a connection.
Who benefits from near field communication?
• Busy mums checking at supermarkets
• Businessmen and women getting the train to work
• Businesses looking for faster, more secure payment methods for customers
• Students touring a museum
• And many more
Utilising NFC
• A smartphone with an NFC chip could very easily be configured to
work as a credit or debit card. Just tap your phone against an NFC-enabled
payment.
• During the drive to and from work, NFC can unlock your car, adjust
your seats, and even admit you to the company’s secure parking
garage.
• NFC could work well for public transit passes, library cards, hotel
room keycards, and office building passcards.
• Whether you are doing groceries, buying clothes or getting
something from the local electronics store, with a wave of your
phone you could have access to reviews, additional product
information, or prices from other stores. Much like you can do
today with barcode scanning but faster.
• Google recently began pushing this by putting NFC-enabled Places
stickers just outside some restaurants and businesses in the
Portland, OR area. With your NFC-equipped phone you can easily
rate places or read reviews so you have an idea if the food or
service is any good before going in.

9. Proximity Marketing
Proximity marketing—also sometimes called hyper local marketing—uses cellular technology to send
marketing messages to mobile-device users who are in close proximity to a business. The market is
defined by those with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology, and the message is sent out electronically by
businesses hoping to digitally connect with nearby consumers.
Who is Utilising Proximity Marketing?
Just about any business or service that is operating from a fixed location can implement a proximity
marketing strategy. Some examples include:
• Major retailers, such as Ikea or Macy’s, can send store maps and coupons or offers to apply for their
credit card or to enroll in their loyalty or rewards programs.
• Hotels can inform guests about on-site events and promotions or can offer to enroll them in loyalty
or rewards programs.
• Restaurants can send special menus/daily specials, coupons, offers for loyalty programs, or perhaps
send trivia questions or other games to help them pass the time while they wait for their table to be
ready.
• Shopping centres can offer a proximity marketing benefit to their tenants by putting together a
package of coupons or offer a discount at any mall retailer.
• Travel hubs such as airports and public transportation centers can provide maps or display ads that
can be sold to local tourist destinations.
• General information about a product or service can be delivered through proximity marketing even
if the fixed location of the business or service agency changes.

10. National Rail App
• National Rail app- This app is useful to the consumer due to the fact it means those who often use trains,
whether that be in their everyday life or for their jobs, they will be fully aware of both train times and prices
for tickets.
• It can also be useful for those who are not familiar with trains, due to the fact the app shows not only the
time but which platform the consumer needs to be on, the length of the journey and if there are any
changes.

11. Twitter app
• The Twitter app is one of the most popular apps to date, it has become that popular that people
have created alternative apps relating to it in order to try and make a profit.
• An example of these apps would be one such as ‘unfollow id’, the main goal of this app is to allow
the user once they have logged in to their twitter they are then able to see who has unfollowed
them. There are multiple of these apps one of which the consumer pays for the ones that are paid
for often have an extra perk such as being able to see how long ago the people you are following
have tweeted.

12. Messenger
• It has become the case that the consumer can no longer just have the Facebook app. In order for them to
be able to go on to their messages they have to own a separate app which is messenger, although they
are combined they come on two separate apps.
• This can be seen as frustrating due to the fact it can take up more memory space for something that used
to come together.
