The typical job goes like this.

1. We send you a website/company/brief
2. Using available graphical assets from anywhere, you create a powerpoint mockup for how a mobile microsite looks like. The microsite should fulfill marketing objectives like getting a message across or lead/contact collection.

We need someone with some marketing knowledge because you will be coming up with an appropriate branding message for the microsite.
You will also need some photoshop skill because you will need to crop/resize/magic wand logos and pictures.

Comments and suggestions of new apps are welcome!

But we did make it for the event and rushed out a 60% feature complete version for the judging day. A week later, we were pleasantly surprised that we won!

Special thanks for Chris Chin at MS who is in charge of introducing developers to the Win Mo 6.5 platform and to Nick Randolph, a Microsoft MVP, whom was our trainer. In addition to the training, the experience sharing that took place between attendees added fresh perspectives and sparked new ideas for possible mobile applications.

From a development perspective, the platform was relatively easy to pick up, and by judging day, the SGMalls WinMo version was 60% feature complete. Right now we are focused on polishing the UI to ensure that the WinMo users have a good an experience as our iPhone users.

Some screenshots to keep you keeps salivating for the release:) If you are interested to be a beta tester, send an email to feedback@2359media.com

June is ending and the Great Singapore Sale is here! This month’s theme is competition and it is really heating up in the shopping mall space in East Singapore. There is a spanking new mall on the block and it has pushed its way into the Top 10 list!

Introducing Tampines 1!

Tampines 1

TP1 also has a blog! I believe 1^st SG mall with a blog(tampines1.wordpress.com). Well done to the marketing folks over there!

With Tampines 1’s arrival, traffic to the neighbouring Tampines  Mall has dropped. Tampines  Mall dropped  from 4^th place ranking to 10^th place in 1 month. Wow. We shall see if this is only a short term effect in next month’s result.

And before we sign off, a tip of the hat to Vivocity who still has as big a lead as ever J

Top 10 Malls in Singapore May 2009

Today we will explore some of the data we have collected from our iPhone application SGMalls. For those who are not familar with SGMalls, SGMalls helps users find stores inside a mall. Users often use this when they are deciding if a mall has a store that they want to go to. They also use this when they are trying to find their way to a specific store in the mall.

We have over 80% of the iPhone users in Singapore using the application, and on the average it is being used 3 times a week. iPhone users are generally affluent adults who are PMEBs. Everytime someone selects a mall in the application, we have put in a counter to determine which malls are the most popular among iPhone users. Using this counter, we have constructed the chart above. We will publish the top 10 list for every month as a blog post. For next month, I will expect some changes as the new malls are added to SGMalls
