What are the Marketing strategies of Pokemon Go?

1. Triumph of SoLoMo.
One of the big buzzwords of recent years in marketing has been SoLoMo
(Social Local Mobile) marketing -- but Pokemon Go really illustrates the full
realization of the potential of this idea. Pokemon Go is combining social
media with local marketing (small businesses are seeing big gains in sales due
to extra foot traffic from the Pokemon game) and of course Mobile -- the
Pokemon game is making it possible for people to interact in the real world
and social media world simultaneously in new ways.

2. New infrastructure for marketing.

Pokemon Go is the first widely popular AR game of its kind -- but it could be
the model for completely new ways of interacting with consumers and
creating communities online and in real life. For example, perhaps brands
could create their own AR games, partner with AR game developers or
 purchase sponsorships or offer in-app purchases within other companies' AR
games. Just as companies can buy ads on Facebook, maybe soon it will be
possible for companies to buy ads within Pokemon Go, or create
sponsored/branded Pokemon characters, or create other ways to cost-
effectively engage with the audiences on the Pokemon Go platform. There
are wide new possibilities for how to communicate and engage with
customers in this new AR space. Pokemon Go is exciting in part because its
opening up new possibilities of consumer behavior -- and brands need to be
ready to evolve along with the technology.

3. Changing boundaries of "online" and real life.

Pokemon Go is neither a smartphone game nor a real life game; it

combines elements of both. And thats exciting and intriguing, because the
rise of Pokemon Go is part of the broader trend toward the new era of the
Internet of Things (IoT). Cheap digital sensor technology (of the type that
made Pokemon Go possible) is going to transform the way that people
interact with their mobile devices and with real life objects and physical
spaces, in ways that we might not imagine yet. Pokemon Go could be the first
AR game of its kind, but its seemingly overnight success is also a sign that -
- as IoT technology gets more sophisticated and widespread -- entirely new
platforms for communication and consumer interaction might suddenly
appear in surprising new ways. The applications for this sensor technology
will be so broad and varied that there might be massively disruptive
technologies or whole new platforms for communication that seemingly
emerge overnight. Even if you don't know what a "Pokemon" is, this is an
exciting time for anyone in the marketing and sales field. Pokemon Go is a
sign of the growing convergence between mobile technology and real life
interaction, and there are surprising implications here for the way companies
market and sell. The rise of IoT and augmented reality technology is going to
make it possible for people to interact in new ways that blur the boundaries
of online and real life, and this is going to require new levels of innovation
and creativity from sales and marketing strategies.
