  • Hey Asianfood, that's actually a great question as very often in my day job (I can say I work in the mobile marketing biz and I've been there for a quite long time... ) people ask me "yeah ok nice but why should I do mobile marketing? And what the heck is it, by the way?!?"

    To get started think about these stats:
    • by 2020 over 70% of the world population will own and use a mobile device
    • 26% of ALL e-commerce sales will be done through mobile in 2017
    • mobile will drive 51% of Thanksgiving Day online shopping visits
    • 79% of users will leave a site they are visiting with their smartphone if it's not mobile optimized

    And this is just a starting point to understand what mobile marketing truly is: meeting customers and users needs on the device they use the most, using that device capabilities and at the moment they need it.

    If you need anything else (I have a few white-label PPT and videos you can use on your sites and in your presentations, for example) - just ask!

    Cheers!

    Another very large area of mobile marketing that you may want to consider is sms text marketing. More and more businesses are turning to companies like Trumpia to help them build sms campaigns with the use of mobile keywords and mass sms solution.

    The reason why sms text messaging continues to grow as a communication and marketing strategy is its high open and read rate in comparison to email marketing.

      A combination of

      2. an SMS system such as Trumpia to create campaigns and send periodic messages to your subscribers
      3. a landing page / mobile site system like the one I have created to drive engagement and sales

    There are many methods for your business to be visible and let mobilr users know about your presence. First of all, you should optimize your website for mobile devices. And then you can use the next methods:
    - sms campaigns - you can get great impact at a relatively low cost, and if you use geolocation to detect users, you will achieve great effectiveness;
    - create an app - it can be a great opportunityto transmit information and create loyalty, because applications take most of the time users spend on their moblile devices;
    - set up an m-commerce - adapt your e-commerce for mobile devices and it make it easier for your clients to purchase your products.

    Most of the users are accessing the internet by mobile, so it is a must for business to understand and apply it.

    You can use, Google AdWords to get your website banners on different sites or your app pop-up on the different app.

    Social Media will also play a significant role in mobile marketing as all have their apps, and it can drive you a lot of traffic.

    Facebook have their ads of driving traffic or app downloads or for Kickstarter.
    Instagram is pretty good for app downloads.
    Twitter for brand development and answering queries of customers and help them.
    Pinterest for women products and food dishes.

    It is necessary, and you should give it a go.

    Although Google has roll out it's recent update to make your websites mobile friendly/responsive but I don't think people will go for a separate mobile website. This is because it's difficult to manage two and it's always good and recommended to make your website responsive and updated.

    Just for your information Google advice to say no to NODI i.e. Non-performing, outdated, duplicate and incomplete (having broken links) content. So, it is better to change your present website and follow responsiveness.

    @asianfood... "mobile marketing" is a very broad phrase. I believe the 80/20 principle applies here. 80% of "mobile marketing" will only give you marginal results, but 20% (or less) of it will account for 80% of what you can get out of it for your business.

    Background

    The HIPAA Privacy Rule gives individuals important controls over whether and how their protected health information is used and disclosed for marketing purposes. With limited exceptions, the Rule requires an individual’s written authorization before a use or disclosure of his or her protected health information can be made for marketing. So as not to interfere with core health care functions, the Rule distinguishes marketing communications from those communications about goods and services that are essential for quality health care.

    How the Rule Works

    The Privacy Rule addresses the use and disclosure of protected health information for marketing purposes by:

    Defining what is “marketing” under the Rule;
    Excepting from that definition certain treatment or health care operations activities;
    Requiring individual authorization for all uses or disclosures of protected health information for marketing purposes with limited exceptions.
    What is “Marketing”?

    The Privacy Rule defines “marketing” as making “a communication about a product or service that encourages recipients of the communication to purchase or use the product or service.” Generally, if the communication is “marketing,” then the communication can occur only if the covered entity first obtains an individual’s “authorization.” This definition of marketing has certain exceptions, as discussed below. Examples of “marketing” communications requiring prior authorization are:

    A communication from a hospital informing former patients about a cardiac facility, that is not part of the hospital, that can provide a baseline EKG for $39, when the communication is not for the purpose of providing treatment advice.
    A communication from a health insurer promoting a home and casualty insurance product offered by the same company.

    Hi there,

    In today's modern world, mobile marketing plays a vital role in keeping a business alive and in full swing. Of course, as almost all people today already own handheld devices, businesses find a way to reach out to their clients and prospective customers in the most mobile, accessible, easiest and convenient way possible.

    If you are seeking an explanation on how to fully use mobile marketing, I believe you should start off first with the elements preceding that, and these are: what your business is all about, what you are going to market online (i.e. products and services), how will you conceptualize its marketing output and desired impact, and who is/are your target market/s.

    If you can just add more information re: this, I would be more than happy to assist you.

    Hope this helps.

    At a minimum, all businesses should have a mobile-optimized web site, and make your web site mobile-friendly by putting your location and contact information in a prominent place. Clarity, convenience and speed matter most for mobile users, so make sure it’s clear what you do and how you can help customers. And monitor mentions of your company on Yelp and other sites that can influence consumers.

    Although mobile marketing is developing and guarantees a considerable measure of future open door, it ought to be dealt with as a part of a much bigger promoting blend. Concentrating just on one part is likened to putting your eggs all in one wicker container. Some of the time attempting to enhance can be troublesome for proprietors and directors of organizations, yet all things considered, achieving more buyers with promoting messages is by and large justified regardless of the additional exertion.

    Taking advantage of mobile phones and the Internet is a clever move to use in a business. Firstly, you can have a connection through the phones of the consumers that you target. Secondly, you are allowed to access the internet and get their attention more freely. Lastly, you can still save effort knowing that both of you and your consumers will be associated with just a click.

    The landscape at present is full of service providers and can at times be very grey and cluttered. Different ad networks also use different terminology, so make sure you understand what is being sold to you. One networks CPA is another's CPI - when they define the acquisition/action as an install!

    The different acquisition models being used at present are as follows:

    CPC - a lot of networks offer Cost per Click models and encourage you to blow huge budgets so they can 'optimise' into your CPA goals. Be wary and do your homework on the networks - go with a RTB platform that has inventory across multiple of the leading ad networks, this way you can stay with one network/DSP and continue optimising until you achieve your target CPA levels. You don't want to start optimising from scratch every month with a new ad network whose system then needs to build intelligence based on your campaigns performance

    CPI campaigns - driving up download volumes either on an incentivised or non-incentivised installs.

    CPA - the action or acquisition is defined and you pay only per action performed. this sort of performance based marketing is ideal for advertisers as you only pay when your action is achieved.

    Real time bidding is the future of mobile marketing in my opinion, giving the advertiser the ability to optimise his campaigns in real time. You will no longer be flying blind and things will become way more transparent to advertisers. StrikeAd are leading the way in RTB from a demand side publisher point of view and is also one of the only mobile 1st networks (not just a network that evolved from desktop into the mobile space)
