The world’s top mobile economy expert, Anindya Ghose, dives into how organizations can enrich customers' lives by tapping into one of mobile’s biggest advances. The accuracy of location data has dramatically improved, Ghose states, offering companies an unprecedented connection to consumers’ context at any given moment.
“Ten years back...you would probably get accuracy levels with an error margin of 200 meters (650 ft.),” he explains. “In today’s world we can get accuracy levels within 3 feet of where you are.”
Add to this, knowledge of the time, day, and even weather, and brands are able to precisely and efficiently target potential customers with relevant offers they can’t resist when they are just a few feet away from that business’s doorstep.
“It’s 2 PM on a Tuesday afternoon...you’re walking down Fifth Avenue and there’s a Starbucks and a pub and they’re both trying to communicate with you to send you an offer,” Ghose illustrates, pointing out that in this case, most people would pay attention to the offer from Starbucks. “But you flip the time from 2 PM to 8 PM – suddenly, it’s the pub that’s actually getting a lot of these responses back from people.”
An internationally leading consultant on the mobile economy, Anindya Ghose helps companies hone their ability to harness data, effectively target customers, and tap into a market that’s valued at $3 trillion and growing. Ghose demystifies the key factors that are really driving modern consumers’ decisions, showing audiences what works and what doesn’t when it comes to mobile advertising.
Each of Ghose’s programs are packed with substance and practical tips accumulated from his years of in-depth ground breaking research, offering the definitive guide to the emerging opportunities and challenges of the mobile economy.
