Two buzzwords heard lately a lot in the press. But what are they really? And what's more important to us, what application we can provide clients with marketing? The facial recognition is a computer-driven application for automatically identifying a person on an image.
The augmented reality is the term to define a vision of a physical environment in the real world, the elements are combined with virtual elements to create a reality
mixed real-time. It consists of a set of devices that add virtual information to the existing physical information.
How can we apply these two technological advances in digital marketing campaign?
- Very simple. For example, installing a screen with the necessary features for face recognition (with the application, camera, etc..) The computer / display can identify whether the person is male or female before, plus if you're young, adult, or mature . Also, you can calculate how much time was spent in front of the screen. This action is essential to obtain statistics for the brands: product preference by sex or age, level of attraction of an ad, etc.
- Imagine you install on your point of sale or an event, a "kiosk" consists of two screens and posters of a product. Static advertising and communication is important, but what would you say if the computer recognizes that the person who comes to the screen is a man or woman, and throws a screen attached to that target specific ad? This signage is much more communicative, and direct visual target. In Markarte, marketing and communications agency, we think this is micromarketing, ie fully customized ads.
- Another application of face recognition be installed in a store window a screen that detects motion . When a person becomes ahead, the screen can make a sound, an image, a discount promotion that makes this transient show interest or even enter the store.
- With respect to augmented reality, do you think if a travel agency installs a screen at the point of sale for people who are waiting can have fun seeing the different possible destinations, ie the camera to detect people in front of the screen and offer your image but with a different reality, augmented with the pyramids of Egypt or the beaches of the Riviera Maya. An interesting publicity, right?
- We may also launch a campaign to interact with potential customers . Imagine that the potential client we send a coupon with a particular brand, through mail shots, advertising in newspapers, etc. and say that only you can know your discount or promotion if you are approaching a point of sale where there is a screen. Teaching the coupon in front of the screen, will, at random, promotion. This action generates expectations, brand image and the possibility of approaching a point of sale for a possible purchase.
Vilbazo, Markarte marketing director, says that "the agencies have to absorb this new technological development and take account of all the campaign as an element, as an additional way to reach our customers."
