Effective Mobile Marketing and Sales Promotions

Statistics have shown that mobile phone ownership is at am all time high and most people when asked claim they would feel lost without their phone. The fact that mobile phones are now considered to be an extension of the modern human being means that they are potentially the greatest marketing and information channel available to modern businesses.

Mobile marketing is the use of text and picture messaging, as well as mobile internet, for advertising and sales promotion purposes and is a form of marketing that has become increasingly popular in recent years. All innovative marketers are taking advantage of SMS text messaging as a new and effective communication route through which to reach potential or existing customers. Text message marketing is now considered to be the most direct and personal marketing tool today with millions of advertising SMS being sent by different companies and organisations every month.

Originally SMS mobile marketing was thought of as a way for companies to distribute irrelevant or spam information to people as many advertisers obtained lists of individual’s private mobile phone numbers without their permission. However, like other marketing avenues SMS providers are now subject to best practice standards and customers phone details are only stored in a companies database with their permission. This is also hugely beneficial for companies as they can now reach people who are genuinely interested in their products or services.

There are many different types of businesses and organisations that are taking advantage of text message mobile marketing including nightclubs, hospitals and entertainment information providers. Whether you are sending promotional information such as drinks offers and VIP entry details for a nightclub, or more practical information such as appointment reminders from a hospital SMS messaging is far more likely to be effective as even very old mobile phones can receive text messages and individuals do not need to be online to receive them as with emails.
