Overview
Brands are getting more personal, targeted, immediate,
measurable and actionable with the right mobile
messaging strategy. However, are they keeping up with
their customers – and how much is too much?
This webinar will discuss what is working and what is not
with email, SMS and push in the mobile context as
message fatigue among consumers becomes a reality.
Webinar panelists Michael Boland, senior analyst and vice
president of content at BIA/Kelsey, and Cindy Krum,
founder/CEO of mobile marketing consultancy
MobileMoxie, as well as Steve Dille, senior vice president
of marketing at Message Systems, will offer insights and

annoying consumers with mobile messages that do not
resonate, are intrusive and overwhelm.

App Usage: Where Are We Now?
Fun Fact: Over 1M
individual apps are
available in iOS alone.

The Result? APP FATIGUE
• Not only getting users to download your app…
… getting them to engage actively
– Apps have high abandonment rates (22% are used only once).
– Limited home screen real estate; mindshare for multiple apps.
– Highest valuations in today’s app environment go to those that
incite active daily usage (i.e. Snapchat, WhatsApp).
• These factors compel app developers to meet users half
way… let them engage without even opening your app.

Push Alerts: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Good
• OS-resident system, sidesteps carrier-SMS
• Engage users out of app, at the OS level.
• Aligns with many tech & cultural trends:– Mobile discovery
– Wearables
– Big data
– The age of social sharing (FOMO!)
– The advent of beacons
The Bad
• Battery Drain
• Overwhelming users
• “Creepy Factor”
The Ugly
• The art of the opt-in: When to ask for permissions.
Now let’s see some examples…

Case Study: Google Now
• Google’s “discovery” play to maintain share where mobile users are doing less active searching.
• Mines email, calendar, and other personal content to alert users of important updates.
• Think: road closures on your route to work; flight delays; weather that affects you, etc.
• Opens the door to push commercial messaging.

Case Study: Find & Save
“Push alerts are one massive A/B test. What do you push to whom and when? We deliver push alerts when you get close to certain stores. The first time we did it, we set the radius the same to everything. It ends up that there are lots of Walgreens and not as many Home Depots. With Walgreens, your push alert could go off five times when you walk across the street. Home depot is different. And the reasons you go to the two stores is different, so we really have to take types of retailer and deliver pushes differently. Pushes are a sensitive item. You’ve got to get smart.”
-- Ben Smith, CEO Wanderful Media (maker of Find & Save)
![Page 13: Avoid Cross-Channel Message Fatigue](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554d180ab4c9052c5a8b5759/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Find & Save, Cont’d
“We've been experimenting with different times and day of weeks and so far we haven't seen a clear winner. Customers respond better with a random pattern of pushes rather than a fixed time/day pattern so they perceive the pushes to be more timely.
“Pushes that link to user proximity (e.g., sales nearby) come out on top, out-performing our second most popular type of pushes by as much as 20 percent. Our consumers also respond well with seasonal messages (e.g., St. Patrick's Day or Super Bowl) as they found these message more relevant.”

Messages That Resonate?

Case Study: Foursquare
• Launched “Radar” in 2010 for location discovery push alerts.
• Like Find & Save, it A/B tested it to learn that the messages which resonate most are “when you get there” messages.
• Arriving in a new city or new restaurant, where should you go or what should you order? What have friends done?
• Foursquare push alerts are now heavily weighted towards these types of messages.
• Takeaways: – A/B test.
– Use push alerts sparingly and only for what is most relevant to users.

Case Study: Tesco
• Tesco saw an opportunity to take back territory lost from showrooming.
• Utilizing push alerts through in-store beacon technology.
• Taking a different approach than in-store marketing: Focus instead on service.
• Example: letting customers get information on products and check out faster.
• Takeaway: Beacon-oriented alerts will be worth watching and the killer apps will be retail shopping and sporting events/venues.
“The ideal experience needs
to provide relevant value to
the consumer versus simply
pushing messaging.”
-- Tom Edwards, SVP, The Marketing Arm
![Page 18: Avoid Cross-Channel Message Fatigue](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554d180ab4c9052c5a8b5759/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Case Study: Cluster
• A key strategic area for push alerts is when and how to ask
for permissions.
• If push notifications play a critical role in getting your user to
form a habit of using your app, declined access could lose
them forever.
• Cluster’s takeaway: don’t ask a user for access until you
really need it, and make sure it’s crystal clear what they will
get in return.
![Page 19: Avoid Cross-Channel Message Fatigue](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554d180ab4c9052c5a8b5759/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Permissions: You Only Have One Shot…
• If a user taps “Don’t Allow”, there is no easy way for them to
reverse that decision.
• The name of the game is doing everything you can to get
users to tap “OK”.
![Page 20: Avoid Cross-Channel Message Fatigue](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554d180ab4c9052c5a8b5759/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

…And how do you do that?
• Demonstrate the value exchange for allowing access
• Ask only after users have been engaged in the setup process and truly perceive the value in allowing access.
• After doing this, Cluster grew acceptance from less than 40% to 66%

Summary: Tactics and Takeaways
• Messages should not only be relevant and engaging, but improve
over time.
• Relevant message frequency varies per app. Do lots of A/B testing.
• Track message attributes that lead to favorable response.
• Segment audiences and customize messages accordingly. No one-
sized-fits-all push messaging.
• Utilize system tools: iOS 7 backgrounding APIs to save battery life,
M7 chip, And Passbook!
• Don’t forget OS regulations around push alerts (especially iOS).
• In the case of Beacon-driven push alerts, utilize store signage to
get users to opt in (turn on bluetooth).

Provide Easy Settings Controls
• After all the testing (optimal message content, tone, timing,
frequency etc.) go one step further…
• Allow easy controls for users to manually control push alert
settings such as “quiet times” or days.
• Failing to do so will lose users – difficult push alert settings
might cause users to just delete the app altogether…
![Page 25: Avoid Cross-Channel Message Fatigue](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554d180ab4c9052c5a8b5759/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Push Notifications are a Privilege… Use it
Wisely
“An app without push is an app without a voice and with
more than 100 apps on an average phone, there's more
than a good chance you'll be forgotten about. However, it's
up to you whether that voice offers a service and
experience, or comes across as a nagging annoyance.”
--Corey Gault, director of communications, Urban Airship

Enough is Enough: A 3-Year Study
People could only tolerate w/o Brand Fatigue & Negative Response
• 3 phone calls
• 4 emails
• 10 mailings
• Mobile was not evaluated unfortunately
Increased frequency in 1 channel = decrease tolerance for more communication in ALL channels
The quality, suitability and sustainability of a message all play a role in the effectiveness of communication.

Tips for Managing Your Messages
• Create multiple, targeted subscription types, and let subscribers
pick and choose among their options.
• Let them control the frequency of the emails, SMS & push
notifications.
• Let them control which topics for which they receive
communication by device.
• Give them an option to change these any time, from any device.
• Provide a clear confirmation message whenever their preferences
are updated.

Tips for Managing Opt-Out
• Make it easy for subscribers to find the unsubscribe links &
access their preferences from the app and the website.
• Include the option to unsubscribe from all email & SMS
communications at once.
• Allow people to unsubscribe without having to do anything else,
like entering email address again, completing a feedback survey,
etc.
• Unsubscribing should not eliminate access to their log-in account,
prevent new subscriptions later.
• Allow them to send feedback about why they are unsubscribing
from SMS, Email and anything else.
