Reach Customers Efficiently With This Mobile Marketing Advice

By Shawn Rani


Even if you're an experienced marketer, finding ways to reach mobile device users can be intimidating. While some of your tried and true methods will still work, others will not get the results that you're hoping for. This article will give you some tips that can help you to take full advantage of the power of mobile devices.

A key to successful mobile marketing is to offer exclusive content, discounts, and other attractive offers to your mobile customers so they feel like they have an inside deal. Your customers want to feel special and they want to know that there was a reason they signed up for your marketing, so give them something for it.

Consider starting a short code campaign to increase your mobile marketing database. Asking customers to text a code to enroll in message updates can generate significant increases in your database and also ensures that only those wishing to receive communications do so. Advertise your short code campaign through social media sites, your web site and any print marketing materials.

Send greeting cards to your customers on their special day or any holiday. Multimedia Messaging Service can reach all your customers with mobile greeting cards, and it is cheaper then stamps. Mobile greeting cards should be used to build a relationship, not for selling. Always include your company's name and website address on your mobile greeting cards.

To make sure your text subscribers are only seeing the information they want, segment them! When they opt-in, give them a poll asking them what they're interested in them. Only send gaming offers to people who are interested in gaming, and only send music related content to customers who have shown interest in music. If you segment your subscribers, your texts are more likely to keep them engaged.

Personalize your mobile-marketing messages. In some cases businesses will fail to personalize the messages, which creates a message that can seem a bit like spam. If you simply use the subscribers name in the message, you will find a better response that is going to yield much better results.

You should make it easy for people to unsubscribe from your distribution list. Most companies include a few commands at the end of their messages: for instance, a customer can unsubscribe by texting back 'stop'. You should use a simple command and provide clear instructions about unsubscribing from your mobile campaign.

Take the time to look into what your competitors have done when it comes to mobile marketing. You are going to benefit from taking the time to learn from their experiences so you can better plan what will work well for your business. Be sure to check into it through your mobile phone.

Remember to link properly when using mobile devices. Do not link to your home website, link to the mobile version of your website so that your customers can get the entire picture. If you do not have a mobile version, you really need to get to work on it and have one for the mobile users.

Hopefully, these tips have provided you with some very valuable information, as well as given you a way to organize all of the thoughts and information you may have already had on mobile marketing. Keeping these tips in mind when you start marketing can help you one day become a very successful mobile marketer.
