Why did this take so long? Events-based mobile ads ARE a HUGE success!

What I can't understand, is why some obvious things, that have been written in many books for many years, and spoken in hundreds of conferences worldwide - will happen so slowly. Those who read my books know that since my second book M-Profits in 2002, I have been pushing the idea of the events-based ads, in the 'Madonna plays at Wembley Stadium' story, explaining why this is superbly good for the artist, the venue, the networks, the consumers and the record labels. And yet, here we are in 2010, and up to now, we had no public references of anyone trying it (actually some had done it, but the story was not in the public domain so far). Here is finally the evidence it works.

The idea briefly - location-based ad (yes yes, most LBS ads are utter failures but THIS one is the exception to prove the rule) which is served when you are at the big rock concert venue or sporting venue or whatever is happening at the big stadium. And if that is truly relevant - ie if you are attending Madonna's concert, and its Madonna who actually is sending the mobile ad to you, inviting you to join her free fan club on mobile phones - then obviously yes, we will love them.

Now the evidence is out. O2 arenas, who operate more than a dozen venues in the UK, have been running location-based mobile ads. And they are now reporting performance. What do you think? Will it be as good as average campaigns on the web (ie about 0.2% click-through rates?) or is it as good as average campaigns on the mobile web (ie 2% click-through rates - ie ten times better than on the web)? No. Its nearly as good as typical engagement marketing campaigns on mobile. Try this: 20% click-through rates! Yes! This is how location-based advertising was SUPPOSED to work. And we have the evidence. It is phenomenally successful. Now, when is Yankee Stadium and Rigley Field and Madison Square Garden and Maple Leafs Garden and all the other big venues copying this idea? Its awesome. Thank you O2 Arenas for believing in the concept and trying it (finally). My only puzzlement, why did it take 8 years for someone brave to try this?

20% click-through rates across a dozen venues..  This is the new era of mobile advertising, isn't it?

So how many is the 'unique' user count? That is 3.7 billion people. It is already over half of the total population of the planet - and considering most of the planet lives in very poor conditions, mobile phones are by a very wide margin the most widely spread technology on the planet. Yes, 54% of all people alive on the planet have a mobile phone.

　同局によると、運転士は１月２３日午後３時１０分ごろ、終点の大正駅で乗客を降ろし、引き込み線に入って停車した際、運転席の窓を開けてたばこを１本吸った。その直後に折り返し運転を始めたが、途中で乗客から「たばこ臭い」との苦情を受けて発覚。運転士は「眠気を感じて吸った」と話しているという。

　新谷和英局長は「たばこの火であっても大きな火災につながりかねず、防災や安全意識の徹底を図りたい」と陳謝した。

It s well known that the hermes uk is one of the biggest names in luxury, so we are coming

up with the expensive price. Do you think that Hermes Birkin bags from our online store are

coming with a reasonable price? It is a fact that most people would think would never

happen, but the fact is that these bags are very popular in the price that most people have
