Today people are doing more than you would have dreamed possible with their cell phones. Smart phones keep getting more and more popular, and their capabilities are growing, almost as fast. If you are running a business, you owe it to yourself to investigate how you can make these, ever more common phones, work for you.
Try using QR codes in your mobile marketing. QR stands for 'quick response', and the codes themselves are akin to bar codes. They can be scanned by most mobile devices on the market to reveal a message. QR codes are an excellent way to build interactive and engaging mobile campaigns with your target audience. Link the code to a special offer, discount or giveaway message to create real buzz for your brand!
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.
Provide instant rewards. With mobile marketing you can give your customers what they want, with no delays. Having a delay can make things lose their value or demand. People will participate in your marketing campaign hoping to get the promised reward. The quicker they get the reward, the happier they will be.
These are just a few of the ways that you can turn the omnipresence of smart phones to your advantage as a business owner. Having a phone-friendly marketing strategy is the same today as an internet marketing strategy was ten years ago. Mobile marketing is a burgeoning field. If you get into it now, you can start reaping the rewards that much faster.
