How well does the competitor integrate mobile marketing with other efforts, both push and pull?
Marketing Integration
How well does the competitor educate the customer about mobile offerings and how to partake in them?
Education
How well does the competitor adhere to standard best practices for mobile?
Best Practices Use
To what degree does the competitor offer different products and services via mobile marketing?
Depth of Offering
How well does the competitor use each aspect of the mobile channel?
Breadth of Offering

Considerations for Home Purchase
Mobile can be applied across all phases of homebuying
Need to explore ways to use Mobile to overcome the ‘rates game’ situation
Realtors have a huge influence on what lender a potential home buyer chooses – strategy should address that
How can we use mobile to facilitate face-to-face opportunities since stellar customer service is critical
Engender loyalty by creating relevant content to fuel brand interactions and provide value to homeowners pre- and post- move
Reputation matters and should be leveraged appropriately
Cross-sell opportunities are big – HELOC, refinancing, credit cards, etc.

Mobile Advertising Marketing Recommendations
Wells Fargo should employ mobile display banners
Great response rates
Do not have to fight for share of eyeballs against other mobile ads because of handset screen format
Wells Fargo should not rely solely on product messages in mobile
Promoting content such as an original game or app is a good way to have an incentive-based offer in your advertising
39
ContentMarketing Recommendations
Wells Fargo should repurpose mobile content for the Web as long as it’s relevant and original
Use existing social media channels e.g., Twitter to promote this content
Wells Fargo should not target all mobile handsets when deploying content
Target smartphones which are better capable of handling data
40
Additional Thoughts on Mobile Handsets
There are ~1000 mobile handsets on the market1
Recommendation: Focus on 4-5 main operating systems
An Android Opportunity
The Android market is currently underserved by Financial AppsAndroid handset usage is growing rapidly in North America with the introduction of new devices featuring this OSCompetitive whitespace + incredible growth = Opportunity for Wells Fargo to be a first-mover
1 Forrester. “Mobile Internet: Where is Your Audience?” May 6, 2009.
41
Services/FunctionalityMarketing Recommendations
Wells Fargo should use SMS more
SMS is inexpensive and reaches 90% of the target market
Use existing short code in SMS campaign deployment
For original content, use MMS messaging.
Wells Fargo should not rule out nascent technologies to reach specialized audiences
Consider Augmented Reality and QR codes
42
Services/Functionality Examples
Augmented Reality
Advertiser: Penguin Publishing
Campaign: Free audio preview of Nick Hornby’s latest novel
Rationale: MMS allows for richer consumer experience
Relevance to Wells Fargo: Consider for higher value products like mortgage where impression of quality is more important
Advertiser: Yelp
Campaign: N/A
Rationale: Technology enables better consumer experience
Relevance to Wells Fargo: Consider for campaigns where driving in-store interactions is important
Advertiser: Google
Campaign: Place Pages project
Rationale: Technology enables couponing
Relevance to Wells Fargo: Consider for promotional campaigns
Advertiser: Tully’s Coffee
Campaign: Tully’s Text Club
Rationale: SMS is effective for driving traffic
Relevance to Wells Fargo: Consider for traffic driving and information that require immediacy
QR Code
MMS SMS
In-store signage
Scan code with phone to get coupon
43
Mobile Web & Landing PagesMarketing Recommendations
Wells Fargo should invest in landing pages in order to reach the largest audience possible
Ubiquitous and cost effective
Wells Fargo should not invest in additional iPhone application development
App development typically cost and time prohibitive
Possible exception: a specialized Spanish-Language iPhone app

Mobile Marketing Integration

Integration needs to work both ways to be successful
B of A provides an excellent example of successful push and pullmarketing integration

Current Measurement Approaches
Using analytics specific to mobile is critical to measuring true success
Appropriate success measures for mobile campaigns can vary greatly due to differences in objectives, audiences and creative content
Lack of measurement standards means third-party data can be unreliable
Google’s 2009 acquisition of AdMob and Apple’s purchase of Quattro Wireless should help this situation going forward
Need to manage expectations around measurement
Soho will recommend metrics for each Go-to-Market Plan in Phase 2

Best Practices Topic Overview

56
Mobile Advertising
Apply the “6 words” rule of outdoor advertisingSmall spaces demand succinct copy, ideally 6 words or fewer
Mobile advertising must be communicated in headlines (not even subheads)
Using the slangy vernacular of mobile can be ok – but this should also depending on how it fits with your brand
Don’t create mobile marketing by shrinking down a “normal” Web banner
Successful mobile ads have high contrast design which is more easily viewed on small screens than subtle hairline rules and gradients
Your mobile ads don’t need button CTAs because the entire mobile banner acts as a button
Test creative on actual devices and try it on as many different devices as you can
Of course, stay on the right side of the law
Ensure that their advertising and promotions are clear and conspicuous regarding all terms and conditions associated with offers
Offers should always adhere to all state and federal regulations

Mobile AdvertisingMMA Compliance in Mobile Advertising
Do not use language that minimizes the price of a product or service (such as “only” or “just”)
Do not use language that exhorts children to buy or obtain a product or service
Do not use language that conveys a sense of urgency about an offer or service
Do use clear disclaimers in the audio and visual explaining, the cost of premium or other fees
Do use “Free” when there are no fees or charges (other than standard messaging and data charges) associated with the service in accordance with the Advertising and Promotion Section above
Do use a super stating that “standard carrier fees may apply” at the lower third of the commercial or advertisement when “Free” appears in the audio or visual.
Do make verbiage around the placement of “standard carrier fees may apply” clear and conspicuous on the CTA and do not be deceptive nor lead to an indirect subscription of services
Do not obscure the disclaimer “standard carrier fees may apply”
59
Content
Content does not have to be relegated to an app store – content distribution can occur via other venues
Content should be designed to be downloaded quickly in a mobile environment as traditional Web download times are not applicable to this space
Be aware that legal and disclaimer guidelines change depending on whether content is monetized or not
Avoid over-messaging customers as the negativity of this user experience ismagnified in the mobile space because the phone feels so personal
Content works well for all parts of the marketing funnel
Which channels & portals are you using to distribute content?Which content aggregators should you use?
Have you digitally secured the rights to your content?Have you addressed all adaptation and development concerns?
4 Questions to Consider When Developing Content:

Content – Mobile Handsets
Focus on 4 key screen sizes and 5 operating systems when developing mobile campaigns

Comscore Jan (2009)
Hispanic Market Mobile Device Adoption
High level of Smart Phone adoption
Both new and old iPhonesare most popular
Not big Blackberry users
Wide range of price points
Older, feature phones round out the top 15
62
Services/Functionality
All device functionality is not equal. Smartphones, which typically have more functionality are still the minority in the handset universe
SMS is the still the most accessible technology. Over 88% of all new handsets being shipped come equipped with texting capabilities
Do not rely on application downloads in order to fulfill a message
Applications are meant to provide quick access to content, not quick access to marketing messages
Customers must maintain the ability to stop participating and receiving messages from a shortcode program whenever desired
The most common mobile banking services in large US Banks are:
Branch or ATM location informationBill pay (i.e., electric bill), deliver online payments by secure agents and mobile client applicationsAccount alerts, security alerts and reminders
Account balances, updates and historyCustomer service via mobileFunds transfersTransaction verificationMortgage alerts
63
Services/Functionality – SMS
The best medium for alerts, notifications, and customer-focused transactions
Offers the greatest reach as 88% of mobile phones are equipped with SMS
SMS or MMS?SMS is less expensive but limited to 160 text charactersMMS is more expensive but can include thousands of characters plus images, audio, and video slides for a richer content experience
SMS experiences should use double opt-inThis requirement should apply to the first time a customer signs up for a specific program on a specific shortcode.Typically this is messaged as: To confirm reply “YES”. To discontinue reply “No”
Easy-to-use Common messaging tool among consumers Works across all wireless operators Affordable for consumers Requires no software installation Allows banks and financial institutions to provide real-time information to customers and employees Stored messages can be accessed without a network connection
Advantages of SMS Disadvantages of SMS
Text-only and limited to 140-160 characters per message Does not offer a secure environment
64
Services/Functionality Double Opt-In SMS Campaign Example
Step 1:Start with a driver, in this case, P.O.P. signage inside the coffee shop whereby a user sends the word “Tullys” to a designated short code.
Step 2:The first part of the two-part opt-in process requesting that you be sent an SMS message in order to participate in the promotion.
Step 3: The confirmation message with the second part of the opt-in process. At this point, the user must confirm they want to participate in the promotion. In this case, by replying “yes.”
Step 4:Completion. User will receive whichever promotions they’ve signed up for on a periodic basis.
Step 5:Getting the actual SMS offer, which doesn’t always show up instantly. In this case, it came a week later.
65
WAP Pages
Prioritize the mobile Website over other program components – it is the foundation of successful mobile marketing
Design with the mobile in mind instead of just taking your internet site and shrinking it to make it mobile
Distill information in order to improve “snackability,” i.e., bite size pieces of content served up in small quantities which helps improve function and load times
A spirit of experimentation and a solid measurement plan are critical as these are still early days for the mobile Web
Try, test, learn, and repeat
Like mobile advertising, test creative on actual devicesMake sure that WAP sites are able to detect different devices
Use mobileOK from W3C to determine whether or not your mobile content is mobile web-friendly
The line between mobile Web and native mobile applications continues to blur. The proliferation of 4G networks starting at the end of 2010
may mean the beginning of the end for native mobile apps.
Looking into the mobile Web future:

Do make the “Contact us” link visible from all pages
Do make Search function visible
Do Use drop-down menus whenever possible
Do keep category navigation simple and visible, subcategories are encouraged
Do feature no more than three to four scrolls on any page
Do optimize all imagery specifically for a mobile environment
Do ensure that site pages are built to fit across the broad spectrum of all size phones
67
WAP Pages
Trust and Security
Do keep the URL or Web address the same as your main site for ease of use and peace of mind
Do use exiting security measures from the company’s main site for the mobile site
Do use “layered notices” that make terms, conditions and privacy laws a short line with a link directing the user to the main site for more details
68
WAP Pages – Logos Images/Banners
Avoid use of logos which contains small texts – they will look blurry on medium to small sized phones
If using a single image logo which fills the entire width of a page, create a separate logo image for each of the standard widths, maintaining the same aspect ratio if possible
Maximum widths of each image should be 460, 300, 220, 166, 108
Include device width detection logic to decide which image file to use
69
WAP Pages – Logos Images/Banners
Left justify or center justify the main logo. Use background color to fill in the rest
Border around the logo image should be a simple color instead ofcomplex pattern
Logo images can be used on a transparent background so that the logo will be placed on top of the background color
If using a single image logo which fills the entire width of a page, logo image needs to be at least 20 pixels less than the stated device width
If not, the sheer width of the image itself could either cause the horizontal bar to appear or resize the image, and produce unwanted pixelization, depending on the device
70
WAP Pages – Menu Images
Menu Images
Having shaded horizontal bar with color gradient as background produces a visually appealing 3D effect, and is used quite frequently. Here are some do’s and don’ts:
Image
Do NOT use a single image bar which spans the entire width of a device, say 320 pixels
Do use stylesheet to create the menu bar element with repeating “slice” of image to fill the entire width
WidthDo NOT assume the exact device width
Do use stylesheet and style elements to FILL the entire device width
71
WAP Pages – Other
Text
Do NOT embed text in a graphic image
Do use regular text and stylesheet to create the desired effect. Make sure the line-height of the text is smaller than the height of the menu bar
Column
Do NOT use multi-column/tabulated menu items (unless the site is designed specifically for a particular phone only)
Do use single column list if possible
72
WAP Pages – Other
Body
Use stylesheet to define margins (margin-left) to keep text indented
When using margin-left, set width to 99% (instead of 100%) – some Blackberry browsers seem to create a blank vertical band on the RHS of the entire page
Particularly noticeable and problematic if you are using a colored background
Stylesheets
Create one default stylesheet that is always included. Make sure of the stylesheet=styles.css entry in messages properties file
Create one or more additional stylesheets specifically tailored to work with each device width as necessary
Include the appropriate stylesheet in the header, together with device detection logic
73
Phone Considerations
Feature phones vs. Smartphones
Feature phone
No HTML table support
Single column
Make them light – Restrict to 20kb/page
Smartphones – iPhone and BlackBerry Phone
Support for HTML Tables, multi-column
Generous use of graphic images (without restricting to 20 kb/page)
Portrait and landscape mode
iPhone – optimized site
Separate instance of site, taking advantage of dynamic html and javascript
iPhone app look and feel
74
Phone Considerations
Architecture to support multiple dimensions
Page layout “Gracefully” adjusting to different device dimensions
Avoid horizontal scroll bar – architect the site so that the elements on each page do not exceed maximum display width
Use of device detection/dimension detection and stylesheets
Standard device widths of 480, 320, 240, 176, 128
Not so standard
Vertical scroll bar takes up 10 – 20 pixels, depending on the device
320 may mean 300 useable space, 240 may mean 220 useable space
