Mobile Marketing
We live in a world run by smart, mobile technology. Everything that can be done on a desktop computer is now available on mobile devices. It has changed the way we interact with businesses: from opening an email to visiting a website, it’s all accessible through a personal mobile device. All evidence shows that mobile marketing is the ultimate marketing tool for your business.
WHAT IS MOBILE MARKETING?
Mobile marketing is a multi-channelled digital marketing strategy. It is a direct channel between your business and your customers. Marketing via mobile is immediate, and connects your business to the world via mobile Ads and online platforms. These are just a few of the advantages.
Marketing through mobile embraces communication via websites; email; SMS and MMS; social media and Apps. Mobile marketing is a permission-based form of marketing. This means that users have given permission to receive information via responding to a call to action (CTA). These are intended to reach a target audience on their mobile devices (which includes smartphones; tablets and other mobile devices).
It is a convenient and effective way to keep your audience up to date with news; products; services and special offers. Effective mobile advertising requires that one understands mobile devices; designs content for use on mobile platforms; makes strategic use of SMS and MMS marketing as well as mobile apps.
When mobile marketing is performed successfully, it provides customers and potential customers with personalized as well as time and location-sensitive information.

BENEFITS OF MOBILE MARKETING
CUSTOMIZE
Every social media platform and other online platforms have various designs which allow you to choose from different Ad formats. This allows you to customize your adverts in order to present your business in a unique and creative way.
INTERACT AND RELATE
Mobile campaigns assist your business to be more aware of your target market’s needs. They provide information such as time of response; location; or helping your business to contextualise and capitalize on their current interests.
BUILD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS
Mobile enables your business to create personal relationships that are not possible in other conventional marketing strategies. Mobile marketing campaigns are secure, therefore they allow you to relay messages directly to the consumer in a personalized way. That way you can receive instant advertisement feedback, making for valuable two-way conversations with customers.
BROADEN, SHARE, STAY CONNECTED
Mobile Ads are highly beneficial especially when it comes to sharing. They allow you to broaden your audience and market due to the ability to share instantly. This may include mobile Ads, promotions or content they may find interesting and exciting. Sharing will increase the amount of people who your Ad will reach as well as your traffic when compared to traditional marketing methods.
