Mobile Marketing: The Sleeping Giant

By Manny Rutz


With smartphones everywhere there is no doubt that there are huge opportunities in the mobile marketing world, if you have a business is now easier than ever to connect with your customers using the mobile app world. But first you need to understand the many benefits of mobile marketing. Creating a mobile marketing campaign is something you really need to research before you take that big step for your business.

You should first identify what type of customers you have, because many companies create apps that are not relevant to their products and services and instead of gaining they actually lose customers. Make sure you get to know your actual customers and their needs, the more you know about what they want the easier it will be to create your mobile marketing campaign.

Mobile platforms should drive visitors to your main site. You should use your mobile abilities to communicate with new and existing customers to entice them to come to your home base. Avoid developing an entire business around your mobile platform. Changes in your market will dictate changes in your customer base. You can gain or lose customers based on outside influences that you cannot control. Mobile is still an evolving market, so technology trends can shift the market rather quickly. Know this and account for it.

The mobile marketing industry is always changing and updating as technology advances and new smartphones are introduced into the marketplace. A website and mobile app are two different things so make sure you understand how a mobile can benefit your consumers. If you really think it can improve your business image then don't be afraid to invest some money into creating your own mobile app.

These days creating apps is not as hard as it was a few years ago, you can easily find people who will make professional apps for your business for a few hundred dollars. The most important thing to remember is that the more resources you have for your business the better your brand or company will look in front of consumers eyes.
