INTRODUCTION The Focus and Goal of All Thumbs

MY GOAL FOR ALL THUMBS IS TO DELIVER TO THE reader the experience and practical know-how I’ve attained as a seasoned marketing executive and entrepreneur. I have struggled, like many of you, with less knowledge, less time to market, and certainly less budget when making big decisions and needing big results. To keep things simple, here is what All Thumbs will focus on. With mobile devices reaching a penetration rate covering the vast majority of adult Americans and nearly half of the world’s population, I will focus on the simple premise that marketers must make every piece of marketing mobile ready.

Whether these are 30-second TV spots, radio ads, out-of-home, direct-mail pieces, newspaper ads, e-mail, in-store displays, or even online video, the mobile experiences we create must be

All Thumbs

easily activated with the press of a thumb and allow consumers to use a coupon, engage with a 90-second “how-to” video, or interact in any number of ways to drive sales of our brands, large and small.

As such, this book specifically focuses on a very simple yet practical way to help marketers—from small “mom-and-pop” organizations to multinationals, as well as those in different sectors and mobile literacy levels—build campaign-driven, mobile brand experiences that are designed for maximum effectiveness, yet are so efficient to create that they could be disposed of once a marketing campaign, even a very short one, ends. By campaigndriven, I mean that campaigns are typically defined as a single, short-term event or experience for a specific marketing effort that lasts for just a few hours around a big TV tent-pole event, or for the standard four to eight weeks around a coupon offer, product sample, product launch, or specific marketing push.

This book will not focus on mobile app design, responsive design trends, or tablet experiences, although I do think lessons can be learned from building mobile experiences for these platforms. Mobile seems very daunting to brands of every size because when you think mobile, you think about big app or web builds with massive costs, long development time frames, and product roadmaps from IT departments that would boggle most GPS systems. Mobile has also come on the scene so quickly that many in business are still ignorant to the capabilities, which I also hope to help change with All Thumbs. Much of this mobile activity seems out of the control of or out of reach for marketers and business owners, depriving the entire company of sales gains and marketing success.

There is a path forward that we will take together.

I have written All Thumbs as guidance for brands to achieve success building inexpensive, campaign-driven mobile experiences that they can easily fold into the budgets of existing, traditional marketing campaigns. Typically, I develop these experiences in mobile-optimized, common web language, such as HTML, that can be found in virtually every community. This is preferred to the complicated and lengthy processes of mobile applications or large-scale websites, which then need to be retrofitted for mobile.

Brands can make very small investments in campaign-driven mobile experiences, which can be “re-decorated” from campaign to campaign and baked into a company’s overall, larger website and longer-term digital strategy, or even thrown out at the end of the campaign without the budgetary, operational, or technical pain that may come with app or web development. Most importantly, the campaign-driven mobile experiences can be tailored to specific objectives, returning a much higher return on investment (ROI) over the life of a marketing plan. No matter the size of your company, you can create a mobile marketing effort that is easy and inexpensive. I will tell you how and also where to leverage your existing marketing efforts that you know have been successful, but that you are now ready to take to a whole new level of engagement with the mobile device. In All Thumbs, I will provide some examples of mobile campaigns that I have both observed and been part of developing. In some cases, I have blinded the company or changed the variables, such as brand category, to help better illustrate the examples.

Finally, I end every chapter with a “Thumb’s Up” series of tips to help summarize the key points for quick application as well as to provide a format to get your feedback. I want to hear your tips, too! Please provide your tips at allthumbsbook.com, and I will periodically share the best ideas with social networks and possibly include them in future editions of this book. We are just at the beginning of mobile marketing. I look forward to hearing from you on how we can move mobile marketing forward for maximum impact.

I hope All Thumbs guides your brand in kick-starting its mobile marketing and helps it evolve far beyond the lessons, tips, and examples I give in this book—so that in turn, I can learn from you. Here’s to you being an inspired, driving force within your business, and an All Thumbs Expert.
