MOBILE MARKETING-DEVELOPING A STRATEGY

I am certain we all use mobile marketing in our daily lives. So what is mobile marketing you ask?
To put it simply mobile marketing is using our everyday portable wirless devices to connect to the internet, for example our cellphones.



Four steps to get started on building your own successful mobile strategy.
  • Understand Your Market
Your marketing tactics need to match your target audience. How old are your potential customers? What devices are they using? What are they interested in? Which types of mobile marketing will catch their attention?
You’ll want demographic, behavioural, and psychographic data wherever you can get it so that you can get a deeper understanding who you’re marketing to.

  • Dial in Your Message
What is your campaign going to say? Don’t make the mistake of using the same message as your non-mobile marketing. Consumers have different problems and priorities when they’re on the go.

To get this part of your mobile marketing strategy correct, you’ll want to get in touch with your customers. Ask them about what problems they’re trying to solve and how you can help.

  • Get Specific with Targeting
Your mobile marketing strategy will work best if you have a very specific target audience. It might be based on your buyer personas, the device your users are on, their history with your company, or something else.

  • Specify a Mobile-Friendly Goal
What’s the end goal of your mobile marketing campaign? What counts as a conversion? You’ll see more success if that goal is mobile-friendly.
Mobile users are less likely than desktop users to complete a 10 part form to start a free trial. 
But filling out a long form is more difficult on mobile. A more abbreviated form say 3 items, instead of 10 will likely get more responses from mobile users.
Ensure your calls to action make it clear that you’re not asking your users to do something lengthy and complicated.
  • Experiment, Update and Succeed
Successful digital marketing campaigns are flexible. Real-time analytics will show you what’s working and what’s not — and by taking action on those insights, you’ll consistently improve the performance of your campaign.
Starting the process with a sound mobile marketing strategy will set you up for success. But developing that strategy isn’t the end. You’ll need to react to changing usage patterns, priorities, and audience characteristics, too.
