MICRO-MOMENT MARKETING
By using micro-moment marketing, brands can move the customer’s journey forward and deepen their relationship with users. Mobile device users bring their phones nearly everywhere they go, meaning brands have an opportunity to reach them anytime, anywhere.
Excerpt:
“While opening our phone sometimes is just to kill boredom [by] browsing Facebook, a majority of these [moments] can be summarized into a few categories: I want to do something, buy something, go somewhere or know something,” says marketing consultant Scott Poniewaz, director of business development at marketing agency Hawke Media. “These are essentially moments that sit at the crossroads of content, immediacy and intent.”

IdeaMensch Interview:
Scott Poniewaz – Co-founder of Dibsie
I usually am up at 6 am and get to the office by 7. I also try to run a couple times a week. Through the day, I am busy managing what goes on the site, clearing my inbox, speaking with existing and potential merchants to help them run successful campaigns, and working to strategize for the future of Dibsie with my co-founders Garren Givens and Dylan Fareed. I’ll usually try to head home by about 9, do some reading, eat dinner and relax.
Scott Poniewaz is a co-founder at Dibsie.com, an evolving catalog that recommends home and fashion products based on a user’s tastes, while providing businesses a quick and easy self-uploading platform for sale campaigns. [READ MORE]

TechCrunch: Campus Dibs is a Groupon for Colleges: Smart Move
The most interesting thing about Campus Dibs, a recently launched Groupon clone, is its choice of vertical i.e. college campuses. If you don’t think this is notable enough to merit another (albeit brief) Groupon clone post then just remember how Facebook got a headstart towards world domination, by strategically targeting social networks in the Ivy League and slowly expanding outward.
Facebook has proven that colleges are hotbeds of virality in more ways than one, and thus are extremely interesting when thought of in terms of a market for Groupon clones. If you doubt Campus Dibs’ chances for setting itself apart from the 800 or so daily deals sites out there, just imagine the power of the 50k plus populations of college campuses and alumni coupled with the mob mentality of group buying sites.
