Nokia today announces a public trial at Kamppi Shopping Center in Helsinki Finland. In partnership with Kamppi Center Investments Oy (EFM Suomi Oy) Nokia will be testing consumer response to an indoor mapping and information service which also offers local retail promotions and vouchers via a mobile device.
The Kamppi indoor mobile service currently provides information about the shopping center, indoor maps which can be searched to pinpoint the location of shops or restaurants, as well as relevant retail information such as opening hours and discount vouchers. Anyone inside the shopping center can access the service by going to http://kamppi.nokia.mobi using the web browser on their mobile device. This service is being launched at the start of Kamppi Shopping Center’s spring promotion, Kampituspäivät, and offers the retailers a new way to interact with customers. Exclusive offers will also be available to those using the indoor mobile service.
“With this trial Nokia Research Center is making indoor location based services easy and accessible to shoppers with a web browser on their phone. By combining location information with promotions from the Kamppi retailers we aim to provide a compelling mobile offering. Later this year we plan to extend the trial to bring more customized information to the user,” said Hannu Kauppinen Head of Business Validation, Nokia Research Center.
