Mobile technology is changing the
way we experience and interact with the world
around us. It is changing the way we get
directions, listen to music, keep in touch with
friends and stay informed on the latest news.
However, most importantly for businesses it is
changing the way we shop and interact with
brands.
Today, consumers expect mobile friendly
brand interactions, and some exclusively
use mobile devices to purchase products
or services. Therefore, marketers must have
a strategy to meet this shifting consumer
demand. One way is to grab a prospects
attention with a physical touch point (direct
mail), and then immerse them in an interactive
digital experience with Augmented Reality.

What is Augmented Reality (AR)?
AR brings printed pages to life by
enhancing them with interactive 3D content to give
consumers a personalized experience that expands
beyond the borders of a printed mail piece.
It allows prospects and customers to access vast
amounts of information at their fingertips, including:
n Videos, slideshows, animations, or other 3D
content to showcase your product or service
n Key benefits of your product or service
n Pricing, payment options and discount offers
n Nearby locations and contact information
n Product or service specifications and
customization options
n Company, brand, and team information

How does AR Work?
AR uses the latest techniques in 3D
modeling, live streaming video, and computer
animation to integrate digital marketing
technology with traditional direct mail.
It allows anyone with a
smartphone or tablet to transform a
2D printed mail piece into a 3D experience
by simply downloading an app and pointing
their camera at the mail piece. Consumers
align their device with a graphic element on
the piece to trigger an interactive overlay that
jumps out at them.
AR brings a whole new dimension
to the customer experience by moving them
from a static piece and engages them with a
live, interactive, and personalized experience.

3D Objects
Complex three-dimensional
objects can be programmed with full
user interactivity!
For example, this feature might allow
users to pick a color or trim level for
a 3D car and “build” the exact model
they want, right on top of the mailer.
Another option would be to allow the
hood of a 3D car to be opened and
the engine pulled out for a better view,
or the roof peeled off to see the seat
configuration—all in 3D space above
the mailer—and all linkable to web
pages.
