I'm very excited to announce that the Digimarc Discover™ Online Services Portal now offers two new tools for customers to create print-to-mobile campaigns that can deliver even richer media experiences and help drive ongoing engagement.  The new Pop-Up Label Overlay and Menu Button Overlay templates empower consumers to choose the product and/or experience that they want to have prior to being connected to an online landing page.

Multiple “Hot-Spots” in a Single Ad or Image - each linked to unique online content — can be placed into a single ad, image, or page. Each hot-spot initiates a pop-up label to appear onscreen when a user's smartphone is held over the watermarked area. Rolling over the hot-spot, consumers can select the product or item of most interest and — with one tap of the label — access specific product information.

Multiple Experiences from a Single Ad or Image - An interactive menu now provides consumers with multiple options directly from a single watermarked image or block of text. The menu offers a range of engaging, mobile-optimized experiences that the consumer can choose, such as:

    • Learn more
    • Watch a video
    • Share via Facebook, Twitter or email
    • Map directions to a specific address or location
    • Call the store
