The winner of this item will be able to use $500 worth of mobile marketing and can have a combination of the above items.  So why do you want mobile marketing?  It is where your customers are at now.  People are on their mobile devices all the time looking up directions, even shopping.  If you are not using mobile then you are letting your competition get the next great sale.  Mobile marketing is extremely trackable and very inexpensive.  Start by trying it out for very little and keep it going if you like it.










Mobile marketing is a way to reach your customers by way of their mobile devices.  82% of people have their cell phones when they leave the house.  Remember when websites were “optional”?  That is a comical thought in today’s time because they are a necessity in any successful marketing campaign. Mobile marketing is heading in that direction since most   people use their mobile devices to access the internet than computers.  Businesses that embrace the technology change will gain new customers.


Advertising success = continuous contact with current + prospective customers.


Why Mobile??? Lets look at the alternatives…


1) Direct mail has an open rate of less than 1.5%


2) Email is cost effective.  But only 37% of Americans are active users.  And of that 37% only about 15% of emails are opened.  Not to mention lots of emails get spammed or sent to invalid email addresses.


3) People tend to TiVo through TV commercials or press the seek button on the radio.


Mobile marketing helps in all of the above situations:


1) The open rate is 97% of a text!!!  That is huge.


2) People don’t usually change their phone numbers even when they change service providers so you will typically still reach your clients.


3) 92% of American phones have texting capabilities.


4) They have to opt in so most likely they are open to     receiving, or even want, your special offers.


Mobile marketing can enhance other marketing whether online or print.


The bottom line:  You can connect with more of your customers than email, for less money than direct mail, and with a better read-rate and higher call-to-action than any of the others.


 



Special Instructions









Mobile Apps










Mobile apps create an opportunity for you to be in front of your target audience at all times of the day or night.  Your customers will download your app which you update as often as needed, and can find your most current promos or sales.  You can then lead them to visit your       location or to visit your website.  We can customize your app to  strengthen your business the way you need.  There are more mobile devices than computers nowadays.  There is even the ability to program the app to pop up on their phone when they are within very close proximity of your location displaying your promos.


Text Reminders










How much money does a lost appointment cost you?  If you have a business that makes a lot of appointments, this feature can be a lifesaver.  No more confirmation calls, no more time-consuming  emails.  Instead, pay that employee to do more productive things for you.  With this feature, just program it to send a text reminder to your appointments the day before and you’re done.  Your client can easily respond back to confirm, cancel or ask a question.  How about that???!!!  Now you will be more productive too.










Virtual Business Cards










The first step on the mobile spectrum is virtual business cards.  Do you know what happens to most business cards?  They end up in the trash or lost.  The contact is lost forever. Never again.


Benefits:



  • Never be caught without your business card

  • Receive your clients contact information for marketing and database building

  • Your client will never misplace or throw away your card

  • Your info will stay in your client’s phone when and where they need it-easy access

  • Your client can easily pass along your info to their contacts

  • Have business cards for new personnel instantly

  • They are easily changed at any time

  • They are green (no paper)

  • Stand out from your competition


Ideally, you should use both a virtual card and a paper card for best results










 










Mobile Website




I already have a regular website.  What is the  difference, and why do I need both?



  • A mobile website loads quickly (no flash and less images)

  • Formatted to fit a mobile screen (no scrolling around)

  • Ability to have a shopping cart for purchases

  • Integrate with Google Maps on phones for easy directions to your business

  • Be listed on Google Mobile. Regular websites are not listed here.  So anyone searching for your products/services on their phone won’t find you.

  • Mobile web use is growing 4 times faster than internet

  • 40% of your potential client base is already   mobile

  • Having a mobile website increases your traffic 13%

  • Over half of all local searches are performed on a mobile device
