4. 1. Most of the large computer companies do not want to be in the "computer
business" anymore - they have started to move to mobile companies.

6. 3 Mobile Marketing Tips To Increase ROI
Mobile marketing is extremely popular and only growing, but
surprisingly it hasn't completely caught on to the point of saturation - which
is good news for you. In the past few years, there has been a strong growth
in the smart phone market such as the iPhone and Blackberry, which has
opened many avenues for marketers.
Plus the ever-growing numbers of people who love to use the smart
phones only means even larger markets to leverage. For any IM marketer
who has been hesitating to "do" mobile marketing, now is the absolute best
time to do it. Given below are a few mobile marketing tips that you can put to
use right away to see considerable results.
If you're new to mobile marketing, then from the very beginning
create your own system for storing the contact data of your customers and
prospective customers. You can keep your records either on your computer
or other means; there are probably a ton of different methods. Try to use all
the contact data you have on your prospects and keep that for further use
because you can use it in a variety of ways.
You can also learn some valuable information by watching your
competitors, who are trying to reach the same audience as you are. See how
4
7. they stay in touch with their customers, and if you see something that
impresses you, try to find an even better way to implement this yourself.
You can locate your competition through the search engines, and
you'll find there's quite a bit you can find out. If they have
newsletters/ezines, sign up for them to keep yourself updated.
Never send unsolicited texts to people if you're marketing to them;
they will need to give you their permission. That is the classic n00b mistake,
and it's a doozy, too. Don't do it. Trust us, you will really make people angry if
you send someone a text that is an ad. Nothing else really matters at all on
this one because so many people will react negatively to you.
You may find mobile marketing a little confusing at first, but apply
the tips we've discussed here and you will soon feel at home with it. If you
want to make your campaigns as profitable as possible, just keep these
techniques in mind. When you begin with a new type of marketing, it's
especially important to stick to the proven principles so you don't make poor
choices. There is little doubt that mobile marketing is going to be a huge
force in the near future, so make sure you are here to take advantage of
this.

8. 5 Marketing tips to help your SMS
Campaign
There are many aspects that go into making your mobile marketing
campaign a success. There is no reason your small business can not run a
text campaign that will increase your brands awareness, increase customer
frequency and loyalty, and drive your business to higher sales even in this
down economy. Here are 5 mobile marketing tips that will maximize your ROI
and make this new marketing medium work for your business.
1) Promote your call to action. You can have the best offers being
sent to your subscribers but if you do not promote the mobile call to action
you will have no one signing up. Add the call to action on your existing
marketing materials, your Facebook page, Twitter, print and direct mail and
most importantly have your employees tell every customer in store about
the new campaign.
2) Reward your customers for signing up. Sometimes all it takes is
a little reward or bounce back coupon to get more subscribers. If you are a
pizza place consider promoting, "FREE 2 liter soda with your next Large 2-
Topping Pizza purchase for texting PIZZA to 83936." Customers are giving
6
9. you their mobile phone number and thanking them for doing so will raise
your opt-in rates.
3) Limit the amount of offers you send. Don't send offers every few
days. Best practices and highest redemption rates result from text offers
only being sent once a week or even better, 2 to 3 times a month. This way
when customers get the messages they know if they miss taking advantage
of this offer, the next one is not right around the corner. Businesses who
send text offers to frequently will drive down redemption rates and increase
opt-outs which is the opposite desired outcome of mobile marketing.
4) Reward your customers. Send great offers that are different
from your regular specials and other coupons. If you reward people who
have taken the time to opt-in to your campaign with offers they can only get
from their cell phone, you will have much higher sales and profits. "Buy One,
Get One" "FREE" "Dollar Amount Off" are the three highest converting offers
for text message marketing.
5) Help your customers spread the message. At the end of each
text blast message include the words" FWD 2 a friend." People like sharing in
deals with their friends and sharing in the offers they are receiving. This has
the capability to make your offer go viral and spread much further than just
your own database list.

10. Why these are the 4 best mobile marketing
companies
Black Friday always excites retailers, but this year Black
Friday and the new Cyber Monday brought a new wave of
purchasing never before seen. Purchases using mobile phones
skyrocketed 310% this year!
The new trend of marketing and purchasing from mobile
phones has taken the market by storm and there are several
companies making huge strides in developing advertising and
applications for the mobile world.
When mobile marketing first began, it focused solely on
SMS or text messaging. Many consumers and companies alike
felt the texts were spam, and unwanted. Since then cell phone
technology has improved exponentially and mobile applications
are the wave of the future.
1. MobileStorm is a leader in the mobile marketing industry.
The company has been around since email marketing began
(about eleven years ago) and has fared well amongst their
competitors. MobileStorm provides a hosted mobile and email
platform for companies eager to expand their advertising market.
MobileStorm offers world class technological support and
guarantees a nice return on investment. Although email marketing
is a huge part of MobileStorm, they also provide:
8
11. * SMS Messaging
* Voice Messaging
* RSS, and
* Video and Fax Broadcasting.
The best part of MobileStorm is that they recognize that
all companies are not in the position to pay for large scale
marketing efforts and therefore provide two different options. The
MobileStorm Go system is ideal for businesses simply looking to
reach their audiences quickly and cheaply, while the MobileStorm
Pro focuses on larger marketing strategies, integration, and brand
protection. While MobileStorm may to be the largest mobile
marketing company, it does have some pretty reputable clients
like Nascar, Hard Rock Cafe, American Idol, and Ashley Furniture
Home Stores.
2. Millennial Media is one of the largest of all mobile
marketers and has been in the business since 2006. According to
Nielson research studies, Millennial Media reaches 80% of the
mobile web and has several hundred different advertisers on the
network every month. Millennial Media boasts entertainment
powerhouse clients such as Time Warner, MTV, Disney, and Fox.
As one of the largest of the independent mobile marketing
companies, Millennial Media exceeded $9 Billion in advertising
requests in 2010. Millennial Media sets itself apart from other
mobile marketers by focusing on creativity, first-to-market
solutions, and being the only company to offer specific and
scalable audiences.
9
12. 3. Jumptap, another major player in the mobile marketing
game, is unique because it focuses on letting the consumer
control the advertising. Jumptap finds that customer control leads
to better targeting, more relevant ads, and high click through and
conversion rates. In September 2010 Jumptap added video,
making it the only company to offer all mobile solutions in one
single platform, including:
* Search
* Display
* Rich Media
* Video, and
* In- app Advertising.
Mobile Marketing companies often do much more than
that as well. Jumptap stays competitive by developing innovative
IP ( intellectual property) protection on many of their solutions.
Jumptap has received over five United States patents on their
developments in the past year and will surely remain a force to be
reckoned with among the competition. Recently, Jumptap
partnered with Cyber Communications, Inc. (CCI).
As Japan's leading media representative company, CCI
will be the only partner in Japan offering Jumptap advertising
technology. CCI is owned by Japan's Dentsu, Inc., and plans to
invest heavily in Jumptap. Jumptap is aware that mobile apps are
making it possible to reach targeted audiences more effectively,
and have initiated their Passport to Freedom initiative
10
13. orchestrated to provide increased revenue possibilities for the
mobile app developers.
As mobile applications become more prevalent, it will
become increasingly difficult for the developers to compete with
large companies' substantial developing budgets.
4. It should come as no surprise that Google has a foothold
in the mobile marketing game. Google's Admob was started in
2006 by a developer looking to remove the roadblocks to
engaging users.
Now, Admob has become one of the largest players in
mobile marketing by investing in cutting edge technology and
snatching up the most talented developers. With Google's
notoriety, it is understandable why companies like Ford,
Paramount Pictures, and P&G have used their marketing tools.
Admob provides business models for companies looking to
monetize and serves over a billion ads per month!
Compared to MobileStorm's 3 billion ads total, you can
see why Admob is the ultimate front runner in this race. Admob
also provides monthly mobile metrics reports that allow clients
and partners to recognize the trends in the market and strategize
about their advertising accordingly.
Like MobileStorm, Google's Admob allows companies
with varying advertising budgets the ability to reach consumers
11
14. worldwide. Never to be outdone by Google, Microsoft also offers
cutting edge technology making them a preferred choice by many
companies looking for mobile solutions. Microsoft Advertising has
enormous resources and outlets for their advertising campaigns
and claims to reach over 688 million customers per month.
The sheer size of Microsoft and Google insure their
positions in the mobile marketing arena, but the smaller
companies highlighted above may offer more personalized
approaches and be better equipped to reach specialized niches of
customers. The increase in mobile phone applications signals the
developing trend for companies' focus on reaching consumers
wherever they are.
Future advancements will focus on local advertising and
tracking users' interests. These techniques will make mobile
advertising even more effective. There is a growing trend to start
reaching customers through their cell phones and you will start to
see more mobile marketing companies.
