QR Code Bottles Sell More Beer While Helping Singles Meet at the Bar (Video)

Posted on by

 

It’s interesting enough that a Harry’s Bar in Singapore has gone to so much trouble to sell beer during happy hour.

But producing a video like this featuring a mix of US TV celebs puts this project over the top.

Does the seriously large budget for a bar make sense for this innovation?

Personally, I think it’s a fantastic idea – and it looks like it did indeed boost sales. In fact, this could go over well in casual bar & grill franchises with many locations.

Of course, they could have done the same thing by letting people write on tags without having to download an app and use it (I can only hope no one’s mobile phone numbers are included in the communiques).

But what would be hip and cool about that?

Dorrian_Porter_headshotIs Foursquare upping its game?

Foursquare has always been at the forefront of location-based mobile marketing, and it is always at the vanguard of what’s next in this nascent arena. (Listen to my Q&A with Foursquare Co-founder Dennis Crowley on the eve of the launch of Foursquare to get a sense of his early vision for the service.)

Becher headshot 1 2011 web sizeBut as innovative as it is, even Foursquare is still finding its footing in what’s possible and what’s compelling for both marketers and consumers when it comes to SoLoMo.

In recent weeks, Foursquare has launched Promoted Updates, an advertising product that gives merchants a way to reach people who are near their stores, based on location and interest as indicated in past check-ins and other data.

Jordan AtlasIn part four of our August Mobile Marketing Roundtable, GEN WOW sponsor and Mozes CEO Dorrian Porter, SAP CMO Jonathan Becher and Ignited LA VP/CD Jordan Atlas weigh in on this new feature and some of the current challenges in making location a vital part of the SoLoMo equation.

In recent days, key mobile marketing execs have left the company, news hit that 83 million Facebook accounts may be fake, and the stock has been hammered in the runnup to the end of its first lock-up period.

Can Facebook effectively monetize mobile. And if so, what models might it employ?
