Mobile Marketing

WHY MOBILE MARKETING?

With over 22.8 Million mobile subscribers in Canada (270 Million in the US and 3 Billion Worldwide), that never leave home without it, leave it on over 80% of the day, and respond within 15 minutes to a text message, companies can now shift from brand impression to brand engagement.

Mobile sites help create a difference maker. They provide the advantage that will compete for visitors, drive sales, and create customer loyalty and there is a needs to be considered in the overall Web Strategy.

Combined with immediate measurability and relatively low entry cost (high ROI), makes this the ideal platform for companies to start creating the ‘customer for life’ relationship.

SMS CAMPAIGNS

A SMS or TEXT campaign is an effective way to reach a target audience with the intent of having that audience do something while having the ability to capture and measure customer data.

This can range from entering a contest, providing product knowledge, notifying of an upcoming event, voting for your favourite performer or directing them to your mobile site. The opportunities are endless.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK?

Mobile Site
A Mobile Site is always recommended, as it is a way to continually drive your brand equity. It can reside on the customer’s mobile device and travel with them wherever they go.

Experienced Developers
With thousands of types of phones, it is critical that your Mobile Site is programmed to properly serve up the correct format. It needs to recognize which phone is trying to log on to your site and present the proper experience.

Short Code
Although there are different types of Codes, the Short Code will be used most often. Whether it is a dedicated or shared short code.

A Short Code is a Texting line that allows messaging to be sent over these lines. It is often a 5 or 6 digit number. In Canada, it is governed by the CWTA (Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association) and by NeuStar in the US.
