Mobile Commerce Has Arrived…

If you are looking for new sources of cost-effective, trackable advertising to increase your business  then mobile marketing should be on your radar. Text messaging enables a new era in interactive communication with your buyers.

People are showing their willingness to buy goods and services via their handsets, and not just ringtones and wallpapers, but everything from books, movies and music to tickets, flat screen TVs, food, fashion apparel and even cars. One out of every three search queries on mobile have local intent, according to Google.

This means that it’s time for your business to profit from mobile marketing now.

And if you have all the customers you want, but need new ways to 'wrap your arms around them' and find out how to serve them better, then interactive mobile communication offers new and exciting ways to do so. 

Some Mobile Applications

Retail Stores
I magine placing some signage in your window with an offer for shoppers. You invite them to text a keyword from their mobile phones to receive a special discount coupon directly to their phones. Passersby who might not have come in otherwise, text the keyword. They receive back your mobile coupon offer and come in to shop (you just gained a new customer). Once finished shopping they redeem their coupon at the cashier. Purchase completed, they forward your text coupon to their friends (you just generated free viral advertising and more potential customers). Go to mobile coupons for more.

Restaurants
You own a restaurant and having embraced the above scenario you take it a step further. It's a slow night and you send a text message 'broadcast' to customers who have signed up to receive your messages. You offer a 'slow night' special to entice them in and voila, you fill your restaurant.

But you're not done there. You want to find out exactly how your customers are feeling about their dining experience. You leave a card on their tables with an invitation to pull up your 'mobi-friendly' website and leave a comment or text you directly. Texting saves them any discomfort in saying what they really think to their server. Besides, it's a cool idea, so they take you up on your offer.

This information is like gold and helps you to better tailor their dining experience now (if you respond to their text immediately in person) and in the future. Your customers also appreciate it as it shows them you care. Your staff is busy that night, and this important interaction is not missed. See mobile coupons for more.

Real Estate
If you're a real estate agent, no matter what kind of market you're facing, you will probably agree that efficient communication with your prospects is vital. Many of them are cruising by your listings now. Do you offer them a way to get more information quickly and easily? With our real estate option you can.

Simply attach a sign rider with a unique keyword for viewers to text for more information on the home they're viewing — no need for them to leave their vehicle; no costly and potentially messy flier boxes for you to maintain. Potential buyers get the information they want and you get their phone number immediately to follow-up. Result? Property sold! See real estate solutions for more on this leading edge marketing tool.

Beauty Salons
If you own a beauty salon you are among those businesses that benefit the most from mobile marketing. In addition to using mobile coupons to attract new business, you can use mobile marketing to help clients to remember their appointments. A British hair salon that used text messaging in this manner reduced their 'no shows' by 70%. These missed appointments cost them approximately 2.5 hours of spare time a day.

Do you have spare time due to missed appointments? How much more money would you make if you could reduce your missed appointments by 70%? Text messaging is immediate communication with your clients and gets higher open rates than email. Find out how mobile marketing can improve your service to clients along with your bottom line!

On-Site Service Business
If you have a service business to property owners then hopefully you're using lawn advertising. It makes sense to take advantage of the free and valuable exposure you can get  when you place your sign on the property you're working on. But why not take it further with interactive lawn advertising? Engage your viewers and get them calling you now. Read more about mobile lawn advertising here.
