A Billion Reasons Why You Should Try Mobile Marketing

What Is Mobile Marketing?

In a nutshell, it is the ability to market ads to people using mobile devices. For instance, when searching the web you may come across a website. At the bottom of the page is a small ad. If you click the small banner ad, it will take you to the landing page of the advertiser.

This type of marketing enables advertisers to communicate and engage with their target audience in an intuitive, interactive and highly relevant manner. One of the key benefits of mobile marketing is the targeting in my opinion. You can choose to only target men, in Canada, age 30 to 50. Upload your ad and that population is immediately made aware of what you have to offer.

There is nothing better than being able to get in front of your crowd with a clear message. Normally, in advertising you are chasing customers. With this new school of advertising you no longer have to hope to get the ideal customer.

Before moving on I would like to point out one other thing. Mobile marketing is done on mobile or smart phones and wireless handheld devices. What are wireless handheld devices? Typically, you would think of Samsung tablets, iPad or net books. However, just keep in mind, the focus of mobile marketing is on the mobile phone and smart phone.

Why Market To Mobile Users?

Well, there are about seven million people worldwide. The mobile phone is more important than a toilet to some people. Only four and a half billion people have access to a toilet, but six billion people have access to mobile device.

Is Mobile Marketing A Good Business Decision?

I would say yes. As I already mentioned there are billions of potential customers waiting for you to sale them your products and services. Also, if your competitors have not tried mobile marketing it is just a matter of time. So, why not beat them to it and gain a large market share.

We live in a 'right now' society. With this type of marketing campaigns are simple to create. Your messages are delivered to recipients within seconds. You can reach out to people globally.

People keep their cell phones with them all of the time. When they go to bed at night most people check their phone one last time before placing it on their bed stand. Your message is always within arms length of your customers.

Whether we like it or not mobile is the future and, for a limited time, has the least amount of competition for users online. However, this is not going to last. According to recent surveys, it is expected that money spent on mobile marketing is going to double every year for the next few years.

Getting Started In Internet Marketing

Internet marketing seems like a great idea for people who want their own business and freedom from the daily grind of a corporate job.

It can provide a great source of income, but it's not so easy to get started and like many businesses, there are a lot more failures than successes. Let's take a look at what you should do when starting out.

Product Ideas

Perhaps the first thing you  should consider is the product or products you plan on marketing. Just about every type of conceivable product is marketed on the internet, from physical products, to e-books, to software.

You don't even need to create your own products to market, you can choose to market the products of others as an affiliate. However, you should market products that you are knowledgeable about and have an interest in it.

Design Your Site

After you have decided upon a product or products that you intend to market, the next step is to design your site. Even before you build your site, you should do some research and find the primary keywords that are related to your product offerings that you intend to rank well for in the SERPs.  You need to do this so you can construct your site using content that will rank well for these keywords if you intend to get traffic from search engines.

You should also decide which type of platform you are going to use in constructing your site.  Many people use content management systems such as Wordpress or Joomla when constructing a site. You can come up with a functional site much more quickly and easily with these CMS systems and there are a huge number of plug-ins available for added functionality. 

After you have decided upon the type of platform you are going to use, you need to start designing your site. One of the first things you need to do is to create a logo for your site. The logo you create will serve to market your brand, and you should use it in all your correspondence including emails and sales letters.

Next, you need to brainstorm and come up with copy for your site that will convert users to buyers! This is no easy task, and most people will have to make a number of attempts until they come up with copy that converts well.

Drive Traffic To Your Site

A good website is a necessity, but it isn't worth much unless you can get visitors to your site. You can get web traffic in a number of different ways.

You can try to get traffic from organic search engine results or you can obtain paid traffic from a variety of sources.

Since it takes time to build up traffic from organic search engine results, you may want to get some paid traffic at first in order to see how visitors react to your site. Many people use PPC or pay-per-click in order to do this. Google Adwords, Bing, Facebook, and others offer PPC options. You may also want to look into Ezines as an option to get targeted traffic. Many people even buy banners on sites that have content that is related to their products or services.
