Take Your Mobile Marketing To The Next Level With These Great Tips!

By Colin Gauntlet-Hayes


We live in a new an improved digital age. For any business desiring to be competitive in this market adjustments in reaching the consumer must be made. Mobile marketing is more of a necessity than ever now that so many consumers access data via their mobile devices.

Keep your mobile marketing messages short and sweet. Although many cell phone and smartphone users are signed up with plans that offer unlimited data transfers, not everyone has this luxury. If your ad consumes a great deal of their monthly allotment of data, chances are good that your efforts will go unappreciated and even resented.

Because users will be viewing them on small screens, mobile advertising messages need to be brief, clear and express urgency. Every ad should focus on a call to action that tells the market to do something. Forgetting to include a call to action in your mobile advertising messages is a common mistake that beginners often make.

Only add telephone numbers from customers choosing to receive messages to build your mobile marketing database carefully. If you add telephone numbers of customers who have not elected to receive mobile marketing messages, you are likely to see a high volume of complaints and requests to be removed from your list.

Get your website mobile friendly! Take a look at your website on a mobile device. Don't like what you see? Most don't until you get your site onto a mobile-friendly platform. Look at your content management system to see if it offers a mobile plugin, or talk to a local digital advertising agency to build a solution for you. Either way, it is important to make your site look professional and engaging on mobile devices!

When you have an event planned such as a big sale, you can send reminder messages to people. You should probably let people know about it two weeks in advance, and then remind them about the event a few hours before it starts. Do not constantly send messages about one event.

Conduct SEO on your mobile platform. Concentrate on Google first because that is the search engine that is used to perform the majority of mobile searches. Also work on location-based web pages since search results vary based on where a user is located. Start by performing SEO on terms related to your brand, and branch out from there.

Well, hopefully the aforementioned collection of tips will help you know what to do and expect when it comes to mobile marketing. When handled with skill, this feature of marketing will prove to be a valuable aspect of your marketing plan.
