       How Does Mobile Marketing Work

How Mobile Marketing Works

  • Mobile Marketing Campaigns are intended as a complement to your existing marketing campaigns. The contact device is the “keyword” (your unique tracking method) and “short code” (The technology platform for interaction). The keyword and shortcode can be added to any existing marketing channel:  Sign, Online, Print, Radio, Television, etc.
  • SMS can be used in several different ways.  Marketers can take advantage of the immediate and personal nature of SMS text messaging to:

– Provide information on the go.  Upcoming events, contests, coupons other special offers, or even directions to your location.

Just-in-time offers/Not available elsewhere. Send your opt-in mobile subscribers a special offer in real time that is only available to text messaging subscribers. Allow them to redeem the offer immediately, using their wireless device.

– Encourage Interaction.  Ask recipients to participate in a poll, survey, or contest.

  • The process is so simple. For example, a keyword and shortcode are added to a sign that is attached either inside or outside your building. The prospect responds to the message or special offer via their mobile phone.  The prospect is invited to “opt-in” to receive more information on the offer.  Once opted in, the customer is yours to communicate with on an ongoing basis. The perfect way to keep your customers coming back again and again. Did you know that 90% of text messages get read within 3 minutes of receiving them? Now for those of you who have a larger marketing budget, imagine using this kind of powerful mobile text marketing interaction within a radio or TV commercial.

Use an interactive call to action with all your marketing campaigns by simply integrating mobile short-code marketing.  The picture below illustrates an example of an automobile mobile campaign.
