			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/o2-location-marketing.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12794" title="o2-location-marketing" src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/o2-location-marketing.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="399" /></a>O2 has becomes the first network provider to offer large-scale location-based mobile marketing in the UK, enabling brands to deliver relevant SMS and MMS to consumers in a more targeted way. Starbucks and L’Oréal are the first brands on board for the six-month trial, which relies on consumers opting into the service to receive relevant messages dependent on their age, gender, interests and for the first time, their location.</p>
<p><span id="more-12668"></span></p>
<p>The service uses location-based technology known as “geo-fencing” to power the trial and is the result of O2 Media, O2’s mobile marketing arm, partnering with Placecast, a Californian company whose tried and tested platform has transformed the mobile marketing industry in the USA. Placecast’s customers have included North Face, quick-serve restaurant, Sonic Drive-Ins and American Eagle Outfitters. 65% of customers who were part of initial programmes made a purchase as a result of an SMS and MMS, and 60% of participants found the location-based messages to be “cool and innovative”.</p>
<p>How it works:</p>
<ul>
<li>O2 customers register on O2 More www.o2more.co.uk, launched in December 2009, by inputting information about their age, gender and interests such as football, travel and cinema</li>
<li>When opted-in O2 More customers are found to be within a geo-fenced area owned by Starbucks, those interested in food and drink receive an SMS offering them money off Starbucks VIA Ready Brew at a nearby branch</li>
<li>When opted-in O2 More customers are found to be within a geo-fenced area owned by L’Oréal, customers interested in beauty receive an SMS offering buy one get one free on L’Oréal Elvive hair care range at Superdrug</li>
</ul>
