Pokemon Go has been a record breaker for all user age groups, outperforming Snapchat, Candy Crush and Facebook within its first week. With a whopping 21 million active daily users, the online phenomenon is generating $1.6m in daily revenue. IPhone users are clocking up on average 33 minutes and 25 seconds usage a day. Figures from SensorTower has compared its data against Facebook (22 minutes), Snapchat (18 minutes), Twitter (17 minutes and 56 seconds) and Instagram (15 minutes).

Marketers are anticipating a boom in augmented reality games as marketing potential is realized. Businesses have been purchasing Pokestops as a way to advertise for free and increase foot flow to businesses. Businesses can offer real world incentives to increase popularity of their Pokestop and encourage real life business activity in their location.

Florida Business Consulting believe that some brands will incorporate Virtual Reality into their marketing strategies. Yet, the firm expresses that the brand message and business model should be considered before jumping on board - will the target market actively participate? Will it enhance customer experience? What should be the top considerations when deciding how to have a business participate?
