Mobile First – An organizational approach

 Mobile is our first priority

 All communication that goes out will be designed primarily for mobiles

 Standardized templates will be created for all our communication (partners & banks)

 It will liberate our users as well as very effective for them to access it from 

anywhere/anytime

 Gives us the market edge

What are responsive mailers?

A collection of techniques, such as media queries, fluid grids and fluid 

images, which aim to provide the optimal viewing experience across various  platform.

Why responsive design?

of email opens are on mobile devices, yet most of the emails are only designed for desktop viewing. Text is often difficult to read, details in images are hard t see, and links are impossible to click on mobile.

Studies have found that people look at their phones an average of 150 times a day. These brief interactions mean that a marketer must focus on getting his point across quickly and in an appealing fashion.

 of people delete an email if it doesn’t look good on their mobile device.

How does it work?

•  A special set of CSS styles that act like conditional statements or dynamic rules

•  Media queries detect screen size of device and applies its rules accordingly

•  Requires more planning and testing than standard emails

How much we save by developing this technology in-house

Vendor 1: - Rs 5,000 per campaign

Vendor 2: - Rs 15,000 per campaign

Average campaigns per month: 180 (3 month average, Dec. 2013 – Feb 2014)

Per Month Cost involved: Rs. 5000 x 180 = Rs. 9, 00,000

Per Year Cost involved:  Rs. 9, 00,000 x 12 = Rs. 1,0,80,000

What we aim to achieve through this technology:

 Increase in campaign efficacy (click/open rates)

 Higher conversion ratios

 Better consumer engagement and usability

 Increase in registrations/redemptions

 More emphasize on call to action

information at hand

 To create standardized templates  for optimized mobile viewing we have to set 

standards/guidelines for our partners and banks
