Mobile Marketing Fundamentals You Should be Familiar With

By Kathrine Brown


Do you remember when it was really popular to market things via social networking sites? It was all about assuring that your ads would pop up on Facebook. You should be taking advantage of Facebook for your marketing and that is still a genuine statement. All together, when it comes to what does and does not work in the face of marketing is changing constantly. Mobile marketing is what marketers lean towards these days. Mobile marketing is precisely what it sounds like, marketing done through the use of text messaging to mobile mechanisms. If you can get people to give you their phone numbers, this is actually quite an effective way of spreading the word about your product or service and increasing your sales. Here are some suggestions to benefit you.

If you have any doubts about legal matters regarding mobile marketing, consult with an attorney. Depending on your provider, city and state, there may be various regulations that pertain to text messages. You not only have the FCC (which regulates things on a federal level) to worry about, but any state or regional laws as well. So hiring a lawyer before starting your mobile marketing business is a sound idea, unless you're prepared to do your own research. A lawyer can help you understand what type of messages you can send, and to whom, and also tell you what kind of liabilities you may incur by storing people's data. Even though attorneys are costly, this is on up front fee that may be worth it, as it can help you avoid fines, lawsuits and other serious problems down the road.

Ideally, the messages you send out should reach everyone with a mobile phone or comparable device, not only those with high end smart phones. If you don't keep this in mind, some of your messages may never get read or might get cut off. Try to accommodate as many types of devices as possible when you send out messages. Doing this will ensure that more people read and respond to your messages. You can also send your message in different formats, aimed at the kind of device each user owns; this requires you to ask them when they opt-in, and keep track of this information. People will be grateful that you took the time to customize your messages to their needs.

Try not to overload your recipient with messages. When you first get started your instinct is going to be to go crazy. You will have the urge to send a message to everyone on your list. Resist the temptation. Make yourself resist the urge. Sending too many text messages will just aggravate people and they will ignore them. Limit yourself to, at most, one message per week. It's better to keep it to one message per month. You might find this too difficult to do, but your messages will have a higher chance of getting read if you can stick to it.

There are plenty of tasks that must be completed in order for a mobile marketing campaign to provide good results. From the frequency with which you send your messages to the messages themselves-it all matters. What you want to do is get in on this now before people catch on to its efficacy and the market gets flooded. Use these tips to form the foundation of your campaign. As you figure out what you are doing, you will discover a lot of things that you can use to your benefit.
