GetABBY Mobile Best Practices

To Be Consistent across All Mobile Devices:


- When coding for a mobile campaign, optimize your code for the limited bandwidth of the 3G network.


- Understand the difference between mobile web and inapplication ad executions and play to their strengths.


- Ensure that your calltoaction is strategically placed to attract the user’s attention and that it describes the experience the user can expect once action is taken (i.e. tapforvideo, tapforcoupon, taptoexpand and taptolearnmore).


- Engage the user through the native features of the device, such as deep linking to the Apple App Store, iTunes or Google Maps as well as embedded video, embedded inapp landing pages.


- Use streaming video for longform video and progressive for shortform video to create the best user experience.


- Make sure your video features (auto-play, etc.) are optimized for the various devices itself.


- Make sure your ad leads to a site optimized for the device. Do not use a Flash landing page for an iDevice (for example).


- Leverage fullscreen video for the iPad for an optimal ad experience.


- Keep messaging and content tight and to the point. Remember that Mobile real estate is limited. Be direct when communicating your calltoaction.


- Realize that the iDevice market is 300% larger than Droid and 600% larger than RIMM – so keep that market place in the back of your mind.


- Interactivity is the key – being dynamic in the message – in the presentation and in the methodology – that’s the reason to GetABBY.
