Hi, I would like to know whether you all think mobile marketing is needed for EVERY website, or just for certain types? And do you see it being needed for ALL types in the future, or are there certain sites, like say... personal productivity sites, or blogs on fitness, that don't really need to be promoted on the mobile level? |

Everyone needs to be on the mobile. There is no question about it. Today more than 50% of all internet access use mobile. You and your products have to be there as well Today, for every site that I build for my customers I build a mobile version too. Your customers are out there looking for you via mobile (even if they are at home before sleep) |

I'm thinking instead of creating a straight-up mobile website, maybe making some kind of app (or multiple apps) that simulate the features on the site so people can still have the features they (of course) LOVE from your site, but without having to scroll all the time. Like the facebook app. Or maybe just having apps in addition to the site would be a good idea... | |

We notice that the top two industries that use our mobile marketing platform is retail and, surprisingly, churches. Those two especially seems to have high customer/audience interaction rate compared to other industries.

WAIT!? Let me see if I can understand this. You are asking us if our clients should *IGNORE* MILLIONS of potential customers?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? Mobile and Mob Social marketing is worth BILLIONS to today's companies. Wal*Mart, McDonalds, Target, Lowe's, Home Depot, Pepsi, Coke, NASCAR, etc. ALL have huge Mobile Marketing Budgets, for a reason... Get your Ad in front of your prospects, when they aren't near a TV, Radio, or Computer and turn those prospects into Customers! It's a no brainer... Just because you can't think of a way to advertise a site, doesn't mean there isn't someone out there, right now, who wants to view that site. Personal Productivity? Ever see a businessman without his phone? Why not post QRcodes on a flier on a Hotel Bulletin Board? Do you go to the gym without your phone? - No. - Then why wouldn't someone at the gym want to see your client's blog on Fitness? Post a QR link on the billboard, or go into the Locker room and post a QR on the inside of each locker! - or - Why not have the Fitness Blogger recommend a Weight Training Calendar Site or Fitness Tracker Site (Personal Productivity) on the same fliers at the Gym? | |

Mobile website seems to be one of the best way for websites providing some sort of information to the folk. Such websites should immediately get mobile version of it.

If I may add, beyond mobile, there's a shift towards iphone apps and ipad now, thus delivering on-the-minute, real-time information. Major financial, investment and information websites have already begun to incorporate this technology to their website marketing initiatives.

I see mobile websites becoming a necessity in the near future. I can't tell you the number of times I've been searching for information on a companies website while I am out running errands. If I run into a website that isn't mobile friendly that I cannot navigate on my phone I will leave search out the mobile compatible website of a competitor. What business owner wants to lose customers over something that is so easy to correct? |

Thanks to all for the invaluable posts. I am one of those who is refusing to use my phone for more than a phone. I however, do not want my Business to lose out because I do not like this nuisance to me - necessary to others. My business partner just added mobile to his business and I believe from what you say NO BUSINESS should be without one.

Mobil marketing really is an interesting opportunity. From a point of observation it is kind of funny how we've been building out huge and elaborate websites filled with thousands of pages of content perfectly optimized for top search engine rankings and now with the smartphones we get to "simple it down". Minimalists must be feeling a tremendous and victorious "I told you so" right about now! I can see new courses and articles galore about how to make things simple. Granted you need a well ranking site to be among the top choices for smartphone users, especially on the more generic topics beyond wanting to order a pizza from a local business. And the new logistics of needing to add lines of coding to all the ranking interior pages of HTML (non Wordpress blog formats). Because if the search result rendered is for an interior page and it doesn't have the redirect, the user is going to be viewing the regular website. And the joy continues! Cheryl |

Mobile is necessary. You don't want to lose eyeballs. Your mobile site is another chance for a business to get a lead. Mobile sites that look good on the small screen will let the user know that you are taking the entire audience into account. Any brick and mortar should have a mobile site that just gives the user hours, phone, and email. They can add an optin and list of products and services to go one step further. Get your website in front of people and make it easy for them to connnect with you. What ever your business. |

I just went home from the dmexco, the most important digital marketing fair. To point the whole two days in a few words: Mobile Internet is the future! It is really unbelievable what is coming up in this market the next years. One panelist said at this 40% of the whole internet traffic is coming from mobile devices! Can you believe it? It will go crazier more and more! Check out my blogpost which I wrote while the the seminar: dmexco: E-Commerce = Everywhere Commerce | Hier, Kunde, Shop, Filialgeschäft, Bild, Facebook, Dies, Zeit, Beispiel, Tesco, Kundendaten, Artikel, Beispiele, Everywhere, Multichannel, Commerce | eTactic (it is in German, but watch the videos, they are in english and saying enough)...

If you think everyone over 40 doesn't use their smart phone or hates the web - you are missing a HUGE market! The over 55 group is one of the fastest growing web use demographics - and they are LOVING the ipad - it's their smart phone with a screen they can see easier. | |

Is it necessary, NO. Is it smart in some cases, YES. I've consulted w/ many small business owners and mid size corporations that wanted the novelty of having a mobile site when it wasn't even conducive to their market or how their market interacts with them. Everything in marketing should be calculated as closely as one possibly can. Sure, some things are out of your control once the msg takes shape in the minds of the targeted audience you're attempting to reach. But, do as much as you possibly can to be one who makes things fit organically. Rather than being enticed by what seems to be the thing to do. If it's(the business) conducive for mobile, rock it. If not, DON'T. Love & Light : ) |

I am primarily an offline marketer while my partner is the online marketer and we have varying opinions on web marketing. One thing we both agree on is mobile marketing is 100% important. It is the most effective way to reach your customers. EVERYONE has/will have a mobile device. A mobile device is the most penetrable channel, I believe anyway to reach consumers.

I'd rather spend my marketing budget enhancing my web site so that it will look good and appealing even when viewed on a smartphone. Sending SMS to mobile phone users can be annoying (and I am one of them). While consumers use their phone to check flights, restaurants, hotels and movies, majority of them still want to keep their mobile activities private.

When sms becomes as popular and mainstream as email the exact same thing will happen. Yes, sms is a great way to market at the moment but mainly because there are so few people using it to advertise. Is that a reason not to do it? Of course not but it's good to think ahead. As soon as every second business is marketing via sms it will become less and less effective as time goes on. I can see people using apps or something similar in the very near future that will organize the sms messages they receive. Any messages from people in their contact list will go one place, those messages from other random numbers will go elsewhere. When this happens the open rates won't be quite so good. | |

I think ^ is a very insightful post, and a high possibility of being predictive. I'd been wondering lately about whether all this SMS marketing might eventually become a bit "email like". I figure the opt-in rules have got to help with that to some degree for sure. I hadn't thought of the text organiser thing....I can see that happening for sure. Still, the opt-in rules of SMS might save the situation somewhat?

It is essential. If you ignore it you are going to miss out on zillions of potential customers. ALL sites should be optimized for mobile/cell phones.

Very necessary. But don't forget about the land lines and that calling people direct might close the sale quicker and more professionally then text messaging.
