PERCEPTION . . .Something To Think About. .. .
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule. 4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes: A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32. 1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition..
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: *In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? *Do we stop to appreciate it? *Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made. How many other things are we missing?How many special persons pass us by and we do not MAKE ANY EFFORT TO get to know them?
Monday, December 14th, 2009 I heard from Galit Beck, PR Manager for 3GVision, sent a friendly reminder notifiying me of 3GVision's recent progress and partnering with Connecthings in France. Currently the entire City of Toulouse is scattered with informative 2D Barcodes that when accessed, provide helpful information and history lessons to subscribers and tourists. Since "3GVision is the global pioneer and leader in mobile barcode solutions and advanced image processing technologies" while "CONNECTHINGS provides expertise in barcode technologies, NFC, GPS and location-based technologies", the partnership between the two companies should expand both of the companie's reach and provide France with a great interactive element for it's locals and visitors.
"Today we are announcing our partnership with Connecthings in France. I-nigma will be used to extend the 2D barcode service usage to a larger scale of mobile devices; to tourists and foreign people. A universal barcode reader is already offered in the city of Toulouse for transport information service – location and time based content (see picture).
I’d like to take this opportunity to suggest a briefing at GSM Mobile World Congress. This year we will demonstrate the latest mobile barcode applications and campaigns across the world as well as, i-nigma barcode reading from various mobile handsets including the iPhone and Android for 1D/2D barcode scanning. We will also be demonstrating code creation and scanning from QR, Data Matrix, EAN codes and 2D color and designed barcodes."
I am especially excited for the Android addition. "since 2002, 3GVision has embedded over 150 million mobile phones with its 1D/2D barcode readers for global Tier-1 mobile operators such as France Telecom, Telstra and NTT Docomo; mobile handset manufacturers including Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola; and most Japanese handset vendors including Sharp, NEC, Kyocera and Toshiba. Moreover, 3GVision is the ‘de facto’ industry standard in Japan – the world’s first fully developed mobile barcode market."
3GVision and Connecthings Partner to Enhance Popularity of 2D Barcodes in France
A Universal Barcode Reader to Transform Mobile User Experience
Paris, France, December 15th, 2009 –3GVision, the leading global supplier of mobile barcode reading solutions today announced a partnership with French Connecthings, to extend use and compatibility of 2D barcode reading technology to most mobile phone models in France.
Connecthings, a pioneer in providing barcodes and contextualized-location and time based content management systems will help publishers, advertisers, government agencies and local businesses create 2D barcode campaigns and mobile applications. The campaigns will use Flashcode technology, the official national barcode standard of France as well as QR and DataMatrix barcodes. Any phone equipped with a sufficient resolution camera will be able to read all barcode types, off pretty much anything, including print, provided that the user has the Flashcode reader pre-installed on their device or downloads 3GVision’s barcode reading application, i-nigma.
Intuitively easy-to-use, the i-nigma barcode reading application can already be used in the City of Toulouse to fast-track mobile subscribers and tourists to location and time based content like directional maps and timetables, printed on bus shelters and street furniture. Mobile subscribers scan Flashcode, QR and Data Matrix barcodes with their mobile phone camera and gain instant access to virtual guides of the city, maps, real-time location based messages and multimedia content.
“We are always striving to offer the best solutions to our customers and we believe that i-nigma can provide a vital element in facilitating traditional to digital connections and making mobile barcodes use more attractive in France,” said Laetitia Gazel Anthoine, CEO Connecthings. “The partnership comes amid fast-expanding use of mobile phones, including the iPhone and other smart phones and scanning 2D barcodes for quick and easy access to desired information and multimedia on the mobile web will give added value to mobile subscribers.”
“Connecthings vision and market experience will expand the opportunity for 3Gvision in France,” said Mendy Mendelsohn, CEO 3GVision. ‘By enabling customers to scan Flashcode and other 2D barcodes with their camera phone, we are making it more convenient for mobile subscribers to use barcode technology. This opens up the door for many more French customers and tourists to enhance their mobile internet experience and provides better opportunities for advertisers and marketers to reach their target audiences.”
The i-nigma end-to-end 1D/2D mobile barcode solution is comprised of a highly intuitive and simple barcode creation, campaign management and reporting platform enabling fast and reliable web service for creating and web-linking barcodes to information and promotional offers. The solution includes tools to enable real-time tracking of on-going campaign success based on number of codes scanned and response volume by location, time, user segmentation and media type enabling advertisers and marketers to instantly overcome many of the challenges of managing and planning successful campaigns, particularly real-time insight on performance and their target audience.

Save-A-Lot is one of the nation’s leading extreme value, carefully selected assortment grocery chains, operating nearly 1,200 value-oriented stores in all types of neighborhoods. When they came to matrixx the task was simple, obtain more than _ coupon downloads.
As Senior Interactive Producer for matrixx, I noticed that Save-A-Lot was already running the “Great Gift Card Giveaway” sweepstakes where you could win $5,000 in gift cards of your choice and also their Instant Win Game where you could win 1 of 200 gift cards valued at $25. I instantly realized the missed opportunity and requested we allocate a portion of the campaign budget to give the user the ability to print the “$5 off Coupon” after completing the sweepstakes and instant win.

I also worked with Kelly McCallion, Erin Brown and Al Morales to craft an inviting blogger outreach campaign. After personally contacting our favorite budget conscious bloggers we sent out Save-A-Lot gift cards for them to review the no-frills store and perhaps give-away some of the cards to their readers. I was also responsible for managing the campaign’s Google Adwords and Facebook Ads. Additionally, we created a company branded Twitter page and utilized Save-A-Lot’s pre-existing Facebook page to grow it’s fan-base and generate more coupon prints.
The entire campaign was a huge success generating millions of additional Save-A-Lot website visits and thousands of additional coupon prints.
