In Turkey, Smartphones Users Check Theır Phones Every 13 Mınutes

Smartphones have become an essential part of our life. We never give up to check our smartphones, even if we are at work, at school or on the road. However, every country displays different usage patterns.

Statistics show that in Europe, people look at their smartphones 48 times a day. In Turkey, this number rises to 78 according to research by Deloitte. 78 times a day means that Turkish people check their phones every 13 minutes.

While mobile phone addiction seems to be higher in Turkey than in Europe, statistics say that 79% of people will check their phones within 15 minutes of waking up. In Europe, this figure is at the level of 62%. Similarly, the proportion of people checking their smartphones within 15 minutes of going to sleep is around %53 in Europe, while this figure is 72% for Turkey.

66% of people are aware that they use their mobile phones with excess, and half of these say they do try to limit their usage. Another interesting statistic shows that two out of every three videos are shared on instant messaging platforms such as Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger according to research.

Yet another result of this research is related to mobile access to e-commerce websites. In 2015, 32% of smartphone users were using their mobile phones to glance at shopping websites. Today, the proportion has risen to 46%. This shows that mobile access has gained much importance from the perspective of e-commerce.

How to Create a Global Brand from Scratch

How to Create a Global Brand from Scratch

A brand is the identity of goods or services. While a brand distinguishes a product from others, it is a reminder which symbolizes the product through a name, a term or a sign in the minds of customers. All producers wish that their goods or services become a brand in the eyes of its customers. ‘How to become a brand?’ The answer to this question can be subtle and complicated.

Step 1: Ask yourself the right questions

There are many other questions that should also be asked during the brand creation process, and the mission which goods and products are expected to fulfill should be determined accordingly.

Some of those questions are:

Which quality, value and experiences should the brand offer to customers?
What is the reason for being of the brand?
What are the objectives of the brand?
What is the target audience of the brand?
What are the most important differences that will distinguish the brand from its competitors?

Answers of these questions determine the main lines of the brand mission.

Step 2: Differentiate!

The second stage of the brand creation process involves differentiating the brand from others.
What does your brand that is new? Smart? Different? Trustworthy? This stage involves the analysis of the mission to be carried by the brand, the related market, and the competitors. A brand should be positioned differently from its competitors, by taking account of its mission.

Step 3: What benefits will your brand offer?

Third, the reason that will compel customers to buy this product should be designated. This question will help determine the main benefits which your goods or products will be offering to customers.

Step 4: Voice, Tone, Personality, and Positioning

Fourth, a tone and a slogan should be decided upon.

Would you rather have your brand be a modern or classical one? Would you prefer it to be joyful or traditional? The voice and tone of your brand will come into existence through the personality of your brand and its positioning – which should remain consistent across all usages and platforms.

Step 5: Visual Design Language

At the fifth stage, you should have a unique design which reflects the previously designated mission and voice of tone.

The design language of your brand should mirror the brand’s overall tone and position: the logo, leaflets, website, packages, office stationery, and advertising campaigns should all be designed accordingly.

Step 6: Reach out to your customers

On the sixth stage, you are ready to contact your customers.

At this stage, promotion and advertising actions should not be one-way, and interaction with the target audience through all channels should be encouraged. Achieving this will allow you to receive feedback from your customers and give you a chance to improve your product by taking feedback into consideration. Communicating with your target audience will help you consolidate their trust.

Get professional help!

Brand creation is not a simple process. All steps should be proper and on time. The process should be planned and managed professionally. As BGA Partners, we are a target partner of the companies which wish to build a strong brand and with a high market share. With the advantage of being an integrated marketing communication agency, we stand by your brand during the brand creation process and take the steps that are necessary for your brand to reach its objectives on time.

The Second Screen: A Modern Watching Habıt

The Second Screen: A Modern Watchıng Habıt

Although a “second screen” is something that most of us now use every day, we just started to hear the expression.

So how did the notion of “second screen,” which came into being after the proliferation of mobile devices and portable computers around us, come into our lives?

The answer is actually quite simple: when our mobile phones and tablets became smart and secured their presence in our lives, the second screen concept was born.

What does the second screen concept tell us? Simply put, the expression describes the use of more than one screen at a time, for different purposes.

Smartphones, tablets, game consoles, smart TVs and computers can all be considered secondary screens. For instance, when you spend time on a device that is showing content that is different from what you are simultaneously watching on television – or while viewing a large outdoor screen, you become a wonderful example for a second screen user.

Aside from the daily and fun aspects of the concept, the second screen has become one of the biggest opportunities for brands wanting to interact with their target audiences. Advertisers now often make use of the second screen concept to help increase product sales, connect with the consumer, access and interact with the consumer on social media.

So, what do consumers use the second screen for?

Especially when we look at the consumption habits of the Y and Z generations, we see that television monitoring rates are very low and that even during monitored programs, an alternative screen is present. While mobile device users mostly go to social media, applications and online games, users on personal computers tend to be more active viewing news and videos, forums in addition to social media platforms. According to the Global Web Index Turkey report Q4 2016 data, 56% of second screen usage in Turkey consists of the use of social media. This is followed by 46% for email, chat and news-reading actions.

When consumers see related ads on their TV and second screens at the same time, they are more likely to interact with the brand and seek detailed information.
The most important thing that one should consider when placing ads on the second screen is the elements that constitute these ads. If one wants to a use second screen advertising successfully, there are several points one should pay attention to.

First of all, mobile compatibility of the websites that we visit every day is one of the most essential requirements. If you already have a mobile-compatible website, it needs to be prepared for higher volumes of traffic in the future. Because you would not want a website that does not support intense interaction.
Second, you need to have a powerful social media team that is able to provide instant response to ongoing interaction and to intense traffic on social media. A team that is ready to communicate actively with the hashtags that you choose for your brand will be a lifesaver. If you do not have the right management on social media, the second screen concept will not work for you.

One of the other important points for advertisers is to be working with professional digital agencies for social media management as well as for search engine optimization and marketing (SEO & SEM), as social media platforms and search engines are frequently used on second screens.
As someone that uses advertising, if you want to grow your brand, then it is time to make sure you are truly reaping the opportunities and benefits offered by the rising popularity of the second screen.

As BGA Partners, we ensure that you stand out in the digital world and position your brand in the right place, by ensuring accurate digital management for your brand with our social media and search engine optimization services.

New Realıty Rules: Augmented Realıty

New Reality Rules: Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality can be defined as the re-defining and resubmitting of the physical environment by a computer, in real time. At first, this seems technically quite confusing – and also imaginative! However, it is actually quite simple in terms of a user’s experience. All you need to experience AR is a smart device such as a smartphone, a tablet or smart glasses that integrates into an AR app. An application that is designed for AR according to the device that you own basically makes you ready to experience AR.

How come to these devices manage to take us on a completely different adventure?

If you want to publish data through AR, you need to design with AR in mind from the very beginning. Afterward, elements such as audio, video, graphics or GPS are put together within the application on your smartphone, redesigning the world around you and presenting you with a completely different experience as a user.

Beyond the technical aspects, are we able to see a place for AR in our social life?

Although we have just started to hear about this innovation in the last few years, the process of its development is from far being new. The concept of Augmented Reality is actually based on military technology, and its origins can be traced back to warplanes.

Today, AR technology is frequently used in many sectors such as education, marketing, real estate, tourism, industry, games, decoration, cinema, logistics, art, and construction, while new applications are borne and usage increasingly continues every day. The internal dynamics of every sector shapes the technology according to the realistic experiences that are able to generate significant increases in demand/consumption rates by targeted customer segments.

Think about it: thanks to AR technology, we are now able to see a table that we are considering to buy in the middle of our living room before actually buying it, and we are now able to decide which color will be more compatible with our other furniture.

Well, that saves us all from a lot of extra effort and purchasing remorse!

Of course, this is the simplest part of the job. Day by day, the boundaries of imagination will push AR to new limits as its technology is being perfected. The internal dynamics of each sector will shape themselves accordingly, and the structures that cannot find a way to benefit will risk being literally doomed by falling behind the times.

For this reason, investing into technology and innovation, restructuring products with the latest technologies in mind, and making sure to receive support from professional creative agencies that can think 360 degrees when the need arises is crucial for all companies.

As BGA partners, we have been providing a 360-degree perspective with our services, making sure customers keep with emerging trends and are on top of day-to-day developments since 2008. We are always happy to serve companies who want to seize the day’s opportunities through our advertising and integrated communication services.

In the 16th century information about the distillation of essential oil was published in Germany and the distillation method dedicated to the Persians in the 10th century, however; it might have a longer history than the 10th century. In the 19th century, French Physicians found the treatment feature of essential oils.

Human-Centrıc Gamıfıcatıon and Story Tellıng

Human-Centrıc Gamıfıcatıon and Story Tellıng

People always like listening to stories and love brands which puts human to the centre. 

Human beings have been in the cycle of business and management over the years. The trace of management theory grounds the 1700s but the significant improvements have begun with the 20th century. Thanks to 20th century theorists, we now understood the major part of our managerial practice: ‘How the work can be done in the best way?’ by examining the workflows and individuals behaviour in business life. As one of those theorists, Frederick Winslow Taylor described work in his book ‘Scientific Management’ as “Several simple actions which consist routine and need some motivation.”

The magic word: Intrinsic Motivation

According to Taylor, employees should be rewarded by employers for their growing efficiency rather than being punished for small mistakes. The time when people trapped in a motivational way besides reward and punishing system, a third need arose which is intrinsic motivation. The meaning of intrinsic motivation can be summarized asengaging in behaviour because of self rewarding not for an external reward. In other words, the motivations that arise within the individual because it satisfies the person naturally. 

Human-centred approaches such as intrinsic motivation and gamification, increase the flow of users by increasing their loyalty, and long standing experiences rather than extrinsic motivation.When people are intrinsically motivated, they act not for prizes but for a sublime purpose, fun and challenge.

Before starting to create ideas and setting the rewards, we need to focus on spending some time to gamification in the system to find the most suitable approach. Human-centric design constructs the base of every gamification projects to understand the effects of the project to humankind.  The human-centric approach became popular at the beginning of the 2010s, a model that acknowledges people more closely and customizing this experience. In July 2010, a group of kids trapped in a cave because of the increased water level. To rescue those kids, Elon Musk designed a little submarine and sent them. Even though it has great technological advancements, Musk’s submarine was not capable of rescuing those kids, because it wasn’t designed in a human-centric approach which the rescue team found it useless. It can interpret that human-centric design is not using the latest technology but designing according to human beings.

The Cornerstone of Human Centred Design: Persona Research

The human centred design optimizes emotions, motivations and commitment as well as designing the functions of the entire system. For this reason, the persona is very important for human or user experience centred projects. Persona not only consists of the demographic structure of individuals but also evaluates their motivation.

The process of human centred persona projects consists of four parts. In the first part, it will be very useful looking at the personal information and daily habits, in the second part the business process, the problems and needs, in the third part the motivation resources and in the last part the participant’s player type.

Do you know what do these Persona researches reveal?  Of course storytelling and gamification! In the game flow, players are much more motivated when a story is set up. It’s good to understand how your players will come to play when using gamification in the business world. In order to identify the type of player, it is a dramatization of the outer section where you’ll see the person in the study. It is rare to see the identification of the player type in non-gamification persona researches.

It is assumed that there are six basic main player types in a game set up in a general sense which is portrayed as Explorers, Socialiser, Free Spirits, Philanthropist, Players, Disruptors according to Andrzej Marczewski. The fiction of the game and “rewards” should be planned in accordance with the responses received by a targeted audience. It began to develop itself in the light of given feedbacks.
