Nearly 2/3 of US Adults Have Smartphones
19% of smartphone owners have fewer options for access than their smartphone or have
no broadband at home. 7% have NEITHER option.
Who Uses the Smartphone the Most?
Smartphone owners of all kinds use their phone to help navigate numerous important life
events; lower income and “smartphone-dependent” users are especially likely to use
their phone for job and employment resources.

THE NEXT BIG THING

DIGITAL + branding • Digital Business Cards Webinar! + # 16
MOBILE WALLETS WILL DOMINATE
Everyone will make one. Everyone is already making one. They can’t afford not to make one.
There are likely to be 2 or 3 truly dominant players but it’s still way too early to pick the winners
and losers. Right now they need each other. A Lot. Your dog might be able to get in on this
action, there will be so many varieties in the next 12 months.*

Hillshire Farms launched a new product line last year, using Passbook and
iBeacons (yes, you can use iBeacons too if you like) in targeted retail locations
across major metro areas. It was a smashing success.
Coupled with a 36% increase in BRAND AWARENESS, the company determined
that they were so impressed with the results that they extended the campaign
to other product brands in their stable.

GROUP
Much as you would with Facebook or Google, simply create Groups of users who receive the same card. Update the
corresponding card when you have fresh content or information that you would like to quickly disperse.

Grouping Users Within Your Campaigns
Makes It Easy to Manage Updates
1. No limit to groups.
2. No limit to users within groups.
3. Message groups independently.

INCREASE CONVERSIONS

DRIVE WEB TRAFFIC
New blog post? Send the link. Social media
update? Send the link. Event schedule change?
Update the time on their card.
LAUNCH RELATED APPS
Prefer a phone call? Launch phone dialer with a
finger tip. Want to make sure they know the event
address? Launch Maps directly from the card.
SEND TO SALES PAGE
Add updated links to funnel promos to the card
and link directly to your pay page, or your one-
click upsell links in your cart software.

THE STEP BY STEP PLAN
1. Card Layout
Remember - 2 images, simple is better. Phones are decent sized but
even the iPhone 6 is NOT THAT BIG.
2. Short & Simple Message
Use the card to engage and maintain interaction. Too many
messages or messages that are too long to be understood quickly
should be avoided in almost EVERY situation.
Don’t use the upper lines of text if they
don’t look good with your graphics.5

29.
DIGITAL + branding • Digital Business Cards Webinar! + # 29
PLAN YOUR WORK; WORK YOUR PLAN
3. Additional Info Fields on Back
This is where the REAL action happens. Be creative, think about the
path you want the user to take. Launch Phone Dialer, Maps, try deep
linking to fresh content or drip feeding content directly to the
phone.
4. Update Regularly
Just like traditional email or other funnel massages, if you don’t get in
the habit of regular engagement and communications, your user
base will forget about you. Boo.
Keep an eye on your stats — too many
deletions means that your spamming your
users or maybe just sending them poorly
thought out messages.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
REALLY IMPORTANT
STEP
Don’t forget to tell your clients, prospects, or other groups to INSTALL
THE CARD. You should include a link to a card in EVERY piece of
correspondence you are sending out — even if it’s just a link to an About
Me (well, really it should be about YOU) card in your email signature.
THAT’S RIGHT. EVERYTIME.
