Attitude is just as important as your skills. I would start by saying they have a good site however there is a new wave of new customers that access sites on their mobile phone. That you can replicate the style and feel of their current website for mobiles so this new market of customers can navigate it much better and increase their ROI. Quentin | |

Flash virtual tours are going to be a no no, you will alienate all iPhone, itouch and iPad users. Android phones should be able to handle it not too sure about the other handsets. Depending on how the flash has been done the files can be pretty big too specially if they have audio. I would approach this with one of following... 1) do like a jquery gallery/slideshow you will need to optimize the hell out of your images though to make sure file sizes are small 2) do a YouTube video instead again keep an eye on length and size 3) do a 3gp video again watch file size probably not best to do HD lol 3gp will allow for instant watching with progressive download on android and iPhones, worse case scenario on other phones you will need to download video before watching it Mp4 although supported by android, android 2.1 doesn't allow you to view it before it's finished downloading, so you have to download it first then open it in your video player it can be confusing... Summary watch file size avoid flash... HTH Jay | |

I am much like you in the sense that I could learn to build the sites I just don't have the time and my time is better used in the sales/marketing side of this as well. Would be interested in talking with you how we can collaborate to create some templates together. I also just email Quentin to see if he has some templates that he'd be willing to share or license. Anyone else out there have any templates they'd be willing to share with a sales/marketing guy? I'd be willing to help you in whatever way I can on or offline in return. Thanks! | |

Guys this Mobile thread is great!! Thanks for all of the info being put out. Two things I want to address. First and foremost, I think pizza shops is probably the best niche for anyone looking to start offering mobile services too. Just use your mobile phone and use that great app google places and type in pizza. Look at all that $$$$$ waiting on you. Papa John's is really the only one in my opinion that knows how to use mobile to it's advantage. Now what I want to key on as a group is if someone could come up with a great pizza niche template that could be used for these pizza shops that don't have a mobile friendly site. With this template it would incorporate a way for there customer's to see there menu and mainly place an order. If anyone has any ideas for this please let me know. I looked at most of the pizza shops 10 miles in my radius, out of 10 only 1 was mobile optimized. That is easy money. They are losing out! Once they see how you turned there business mobile, they will want to pay you. Be the one!! The other thing I wanted to share was this awesome webinar from google about mobile. This is some potent information that will keep hope alive!! Stay blissful everyone. |

Guys I really think this is HooooTTT! The only thing is that this costs like $19.99 a month. I love the concept though. If we could find a programmer that could duplicate this and then sell it for you to be able to use this as your own without paying that would be phenomenal. At the same time it is still good for those that don't mind paying a monthly fee because you could triple your invested by selling one mobile site. I think more and developer's will be coming out with systems like this. Just enter in your main website domain then poof, out comes the baby mobile version of your website. Now you can customize it the way you want to. I am in no way affiliated with this website. I just found this today and wanted to share with you guys for brainstorming. It's called bmobilized.com. Play around with it. What is bMobilized? |

The problem that I haven't been able to overcome for me to use this technique is the high number of messages each person on the list will receive. I want to do a mobile directory that will allow customers to sign up to individual business offerings, thus letting them limited control on how many companies will be sending them messages. Building a list and selling access to that list to businesses is a great idea that in my mind works better for email - you can combine, say, 30 offers into a single email. If you have thirty or more advertisers using the list, the number of text messages received might turn off the recipient. Is mine a valid concern, or am I thinking this to death? Thanks, Bob | |

To me it sounded like you were saying that you don't need that like you do with email. I was wondering if I was misunderstanding what you meant. Just wanted to clarify.

I've been doing the college thing for well over a year now and there may be some confusion about how to service 30 or so businesses. You're not going to send text messages with offers from 30 businesses a day or even a week. It's one or two per day or you'll have a lot of unsubscribes.

I send only one text message for one business per day unless I have an unrelated business that's got an exceptionally great deal. When I'm sending out a deal of the day for a restaurant, I'll send out another on the same day if a clothing store has a truly great bargain that you rarely ever see. However, if I'm sending out the deal of the day for a pizza place, I won't send another out the same day for another eatery no matter how good the deal is. Not saying that's the only way you can do it but that's how I think it's fair. |

First. Great Thread with lots of information. Thanks. I have only had a chance to skim this thread as there is just so much information going on here. I was just wondering if anyone had any success with marketing the mobile website design remotely? Meaning no face to face but either just emails, or phone calls, maybe even video calls if they have it. This way it could be expanded to include more than just your local city. Also, has anyone had any luck trying the email/Phone Call > Website Video Route with lead capture? Ie.. Hi my name is .... from ... and wanted to share with you how important mobile marketing is. Please check out this short video here explaining why mobile is so important. It will take just 2 minutes of your time. If you are interested in making your site mobile contact me... etc. or leave your email address here etc.. depending on which way you choose. Curious as to how important it would be for the face to face. If not then I could try to expand to other cities as well. Looking forward to hearing about anyone's experiences. |

Here is a way you can do it remotely...get a emails of businesses from yellowpages.com or Google Places send them to a invite to a free webinar teaching them how to mobilize their website and attract new customers using mobile marketing...Have a presentation ready it would take to long to write how you can do a power point presentation in here but you get the jest. | |

What did your email say? Did you send the emails on a Monday and have the webinar on Tues? I have always been curious about what time would be the best time to conduct A workshop or webinar and you did have nice turnout. Does Betty have a Wso on this? Thanks Scott.... |

Think about all the daily deal sites out there. Why are they so successful? The main three reasons are: a) People love bargains... b) People love to be part of an exclusive group... c) Most people have boring lives and receiving that one email or sms is something they look forward to each day... Don't dilute the suspense and fun by sending out a whole lot of messages. This is not so much of a problem with email but SMS are much harder to ignore as most peoples phones beep when they get one. Yes, this often means a much better open rate than email. But it also means the messages become annoying a lot faster than email would.
But face to face is not for everyone. If you are not confident speaking in front of people then a face to face meeting could actually do you more harm than good. Face to face also limits the amount of people you can contact in one day. You need to know your limitations and work with what you got. Can these services be sold by email and or phone? You bet ya. But it all comes down to what the email says, what you say on the phone, etc. The sales message is the most important thing here. Get that wrong and it doesn't matter how well you try and sell it to them, no one is going to buy it. Think outside the box. Sending plain old emails telling someone their website doesn't look good on a mobile device will not get you very far. You need to get their attention and you only do this by being creative and standing out from all the other people pitching to them on a daily basis. I do agree that getting leads from Google Places and Yellow Pages is a good start however remember that these are the same places all the other offline marketers are getting their leads. So it's going to be a little harder to convince some of these businesses who have been marketed to over and over by offline consultants - that is unless you do something a little different. Think about all the crap that comes through your inbox on a daily basis. What messages stand out to you? Which messages go straight to the trash can? | ||

You got out and sell mobile websites to small local businesses. Not sure what 'software' you are referring to though. There are templates to help you build these mobile sites. Maybe that is what you are talking about?

Good research but this is something which you cannot use in all countries specially Asian countries. But this sounds very good and money making strategy..
