Hyperlocal mobile marketing strategies comprise techniques like geofencing. Geofencing is where brands mark out a particular geographic area with a virtual fence: if anyone with the app deployed steps into the geofenced area, it would trigger a push notification. When users entered the fenced area, they were sent a discount voucher. This is found to be an effective strategy.
• Augmented Reality
Concepts like virtual reality and augmented reality are new concepts, and several marketers don't fully understand them. Virtual reality is a simulated, immersive experience in which the user wears a headset that places them into the virtual environment, like outer space. Augmented reality is about projecting virtual elements onto real world instances. This can be done via headsets and visors or just by holding the phone up to the real world.
• Vertical Video and Animations
Ninety-four percent of smartphone users hold their smart devices in a vertical position. But several videos and animations are tailored for a square or horizontal format. That's because people are used to seeing videos and animations in landscape on TVs, cinema screens, and computers. Users can create a great user experience and fuel engagement by creating vertical videos and animations designed to work on mobile screens.
• Voice Search Optimization
This is large because voice search is usually seen as a fad, but the fact is that it is here to stay, with voice searches set to take over 50 percent of all searches by 2020. Brands will essentially be hiring a bunch of free brand ambassadors to spread the word about the business. And research shows that people trust word-of-mouth from friends and family much more than from firms themselves.
