The Definitive Mobile 101 Primer
As an untethered medium, mobile comprises many channels including SMS, MMS, Web, applications, bar codes and mobile commerce. Each channel has its own mini-ecosystem and intricacies. However, to successfully incorporate mobile into multichannel nonprofit fundraising and marketing efforts, it is key to understand the ins and outs of each channel. Panelists will discuss:

? What are SMS and MMS, how to procure and use a common short code with keywords and smart calls to action
? The many types of bar codes and how to deploy and integrate them with direct mail, Web and outdoor media
? How the mobile Web is different from the wired Web, creating a mobile-friendly Web site and design tips to keep visitors returning, interacting and donating
? Why applications make sense, how to deploy them across platforms and why downloads are a badge of loyalty for donors and prospects
? The ABCs of developing and launching a program that includes all or many of the mobile channels

Mobile Giving or Mobile Marketing – or Both?
Most examples of mobile and nonprofits highlight only the fundraising part of the medium. Fundraising for Haiti disaster relief is a case in point. But mobile is also ideal for marketing to donors and prospects, communicating with donors and building a database of opted-in mobile consumers that ties into the overall multichannel list. For many nonprofits and charities, it is not a case of either/or, but both mobile marketing and mobile fundraising. To get it right, delegates will learn:

? How to use mobile effectively as an outreach tool, either for marketing or communicating updates to the opted-in database
? How to build a database of mobile consumers interested in the cause
? How to use mobile to raise funds
? What spells success for a mobile program that targets the new generation of donors

Speakers:
Doug Stovall, senior vice president of sales and client services, Hipcricket
Jenifer Snyder, executive director, mGive Foundation
Christian Zimmern, vice president, Mobile Giving Foundation

Moderator:

How to Create Effective Mobile Advertising Campaigns That Engage Donors and Prospects
Nonprofits might be tempted to apply the same rules to mobile ad campaigns that apply to online. They need to think twice before doing that. The mobile device’s screen size versus the computer’s – or even a layout in print – means that creative and call to action require special attention. So does location. However, mobile banners do share with online units the ability to let consumers interact in a two-way manner to drive traffic to Web destinations either for donations or alert registrations. In addition to creative, nonprofits will also need to figure how to measure the performance of these campaigns on various media buys. Session attendees will learn:

? How to deploy a mobile ad campaign
? Making a smart media buy
? Budgeting for a mobile ad program
? Creative dos and don’ts
? Measuring the performance of a campaign

Speakers:
Marcus Startzel, senior vice president of sales, Millennial Media
Brian Murphy, mobile ad sales, Google
Amy Kuznicki, manager of digital advertising sales, Verizon Wireless
Josh Herman, product leader, Acxiom

Moderator:
Lindsay Woodworth, director of marketing, 2ergo

3 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.
Post-Lunch Keynote
American Red Cross: How the Most Successful Mobile Fundraiser Changed Charitable Giving Forever
The American Red Cross is used to harnessing online, print and broadcast media to raise funds for disaster relief. But the Haiti earthquakes showed that another medium was equally adept at winning quick response from donors: mobile, and specifically, SMS. Thanks to SMS-savvy consumers and support from partners, the Red Cross raised more than $33 million to help victims and survivors of the earthquakes that devastated this Caribbean nation. The keynote speaker will discuss:

? Why mobile matters to the American Red Cross
? How the Red Cross conducted its Haiti disaster relief efforts incorporating mobile
? What lessons were learned with this effort and others that preceded
? Best-practice tips and what next

Speaker:
Josh Kittner, senior marketing consultant, for digital engagement, American Red Cross

Moderator:
Joy Liuzzo, senior director of mobile research, InsightExpress
