Comment on Location based services? barcode comparison? … and other disruptive ideas by agrunsteidl

One of the largest Mail-order catalog in the Netherlands operates a mobile prototype during a four day event to, for example, check and compare prices when on the shopfloor at Mediamarkt. I am looking forward to the reaction of the staff.

Middels een innovatieve toepassing van location based marketing bindt Wehkamp in de winkelstraat de strijd aan met diverse winkelketens en -formules. Mobiele bestellers in fysieke vestigingen van concurrenten hebben de afgelopen dagen tijdelijk minstens tien procent korting gekregen. Wehkamp gebruikte daarvoor W.APP; een applicatie voor smartphones.

Met deze applicatie krijgt de gebruiker extra korting op basis van zijn GPS-locatie. Hiertoe heeft Wehkamp meer dan vijfduizend kortinglocaties aangewezen in winkels- en winkelstraten verspreid over Nederland. RetailNews meldt dat het ondere andere gaat om winkels van Mediamarkt, IKEA, Hema, Bart Smit en Dixons. De consument kan dus vanaf de winkelvloer van de Mediamarkt kijken of het product bij Wehkamp met korting wordt verkocht. De shopper kan via de knop `Krijg ik op deze locatie extra korting?` bekijken of ze op de mobiele site van Wehkamp voordeliger uit zijn. Wanneer dit het geval is kan de gebruiker de korting inschakelen, waarna deze wordt verrekend op een mobiele bestelling. Vooralsnog betrof het een proefperiode gedurende de korting4daagse van Wehkamp, die duurde van donderdag 22 t/m zondag 25 april.

An excellent example of Form-giving as one of many aspects of Industrial Design is the exhibition Design Real at the Serpentine Gallery, London curated by Konstantin Grcic. open 26 November 2009 – 7 February 2010 This exhibition is very much about the celebration of form and physicality of objects. And although all objects are selected for their functional practicality, their daily use is elusive. The beautiful online catalog tracks the story behind, highlights the process of inception and provides the context in which to understand each object. Although I personally prefer to experience products in relationship to their anticipated surroundings, I must confess enjoying sometimes watching, observing, staring at solitary design objects placed on a pedestal or displayed behind glass out of context of their intended use, instead set in a context of appreciation.

“Consumers who are fed up with waiting at home for deliveries are increasingly choosing to buy online and collecting goods at a time that suits them.” – Amazon in secret plan to open high street shops http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/retailing/article6945922.ece

Comment on Are we ready for Webfronts yet? by Kim

Also wanted to say that I don’t think pop ups are just branding attempts, although they help with that. The way some companies are doing it are strictly branding, like Target shops getting set up in Manhattan….but really pop ups should be a way of doing business at different times of the year, much like a 2nd generation bs model of the mall kiosk. The investments are smaller but if the location done correctly and set up to create instant sales, then it’s a bs. model whose idea has come.

I’ve proposed it to a group already who actually is a key component to making web fronts a way of life.

Wow!

Thanks for not only how indepth you went with this but how coherently you did it.

We’ll have to talk sometime. In answer to your question, yes. And I believe there is a way.
