By Stavros Georgiadis


Mobile marketing is becoming a vital part of any business plan. Implementing a plan can be overwhelming. With so many different applications, formats, techniques and codes it can be hard to choose which is right for you. The following steps will be invaluable to you as you attempt to craft a successful mobile marketing plan.

You should know how mobile devices work to know how to format your site and ads. Don't confine yourself to your own phone. Your customers use many different brands and models so get out and try every type of device you can get your hands on.

Do not send irrelevant texts to your customers. You should only message them with useful information. Some mobile marketing campaigns actually failed when their business began to text random things to their customers. Customers aren't looking for humorous, personal messages from a business they patronize. They're looking for valuable information and ways to save money.

Applications are really easy to make. You already know that giving your customers free apps is a good idea, but did you realize you could be giving away your own custom-built app? If your business creates its own specific app, it could elevate your mobile marketing efforts to a much higher level. There are a ton of things you can put in your app.

When you consider what to include on your mobile page, remember that it's important to say as much as you can with as little copy as possible. Customers visiting your mobile site do not have the time to dig down into page after page of bloated, keyword-stuffed content to get the valuable information they want. Content for your mobile marketing site has to be brief, simple, and useful.

Use your mission statement to keep your efforts focused. Following your principles will enable you to be focused on your target.

Those who are best at mobile marketing progress slowly, step by step. You should too. Begin with simple texts and calls, then expand your campaign to include things like video content and social networking. Use all of the tools you can.

Just like your regular business website, your mobile site should be search engine optimized. You should focus your search engine optimization strategies around Google because Google is the most popular search engine used on mobile devices.

Split test the mobile capabilities your site. Testing is vital for the mobile world just like it is for web sites. This is crucial so you understand what's working incorrectly on your mobile site. Develop two different versions of you landing page (A & B) and see which pulls the most conversions. You then can progress with your mobile campaign with the one that works best.

No matter how advanced smartphones get, remember that mobile web browsing is just not as easy as going online with a computer. Design a light website that loads quickly and can be navigated in a few clicks. You could have two versions of your site, one for computer users, and one for mobiles. However, a simple site works well for both types of users.

There are a lot of things to learn about mobile marketing. Your diligence and dedication in developing your mobile marketing campaign will be well worth the effort. By following the above tips, you are well on your way to more sales and bigger profits.
