Can 3G provide the platform for loyalty - or vice-versa?
This week’s column for Netimperative examines the interesting question of whether putting loyalty cards onto 3G phones (or any phones, come to that) will improve customer loyalty to retailers, banks and so on; and whether in a symbiotic way it might give 3G a leg up to wider acceptance.
Of course a lot of people are using the 3G network already - but not that intensively, and not for serious applications. What I hear is that rather than using it for serious, head-down things like location services, people would rather watch a music video or a football goal. Amusing ourselves to death, as ever.
