by Suresh Kalyanasundaram Digital Marketing Coach
Depending on who is defining it, there are a number of different definitions of mobile marketing. So it is only natural that different businesses think of mobile marketing in various ways. The commonly accepted definition is promoting a business through the medium of mobile devices and cell phones. 

In this article are some valuable tips, which will show you how a mobile marketing campaign can benefit your business.

QR codes should appear on every printed advertisement to meet the needs of those with high tech gadgets. QR codes are a good way to get people that have smart phones to visit your site. All of your brochures, cards, and catalogs should have QR codes on them. QR codes make it easier for interested customers to get information about your business.

Optimizing your website for mobile marketing purposes is as easy as investing money into it. Developing an appealing and effective mobile site may be a major challenge. It is advisable to use developers who are very familiar with the necessary coding and programming for your site's successful mobile transition.

Remember that the people you are reaching out to with mobile marketing are people out and about, living their lives. Act accordingly.

If your company has any social networking sites geared to the business, make sure to put a link on your web page. Customers probably will not search for you, however they may check you out on a social networking site.

If you decide on creating a mobile app for your company, make it relevant and useful to your customer base. If your app has no specific purpose, there is no way it will gain the attention of consumers who you are hoping to reach.

A/B testing could be helpful with a mobile landing page. Testing is as essential to the mobile world as it is on traditional websites because this lets you see what works. By creating two different landing pages, called A and B, you can monitor which version has the most conversions. Going forward, use the most successful page.

Make sure that you add mobile friendly directions and maps to your website. It is becoming more common for people to use their mobiles to find directions. Create an easy way for your customers to reach you. Verify that the maps look great on mobile phones and come up correctly when doing mobile searches. Create a link to take users directly to Google Maps to get directions.

Investigate your target market. Get to know their likes and dislikes, and their habits using their phone before investing a significant amount of money into a mobile marketing campaign. Don't just guess. Do they use cellphones more than they use computers? What OS is on their phones? Determine your target audience, and then solidify how you are going to reach out to them.

When creating a mobile marketing campaign you must focus on keeping your existing customers as opposed to gaining new clients. Existing customers are more likely to positively receive text messages and promotional updates. You will find that more often than not, people will regard mobile marketing efforts to be spam.

If you put maps that are friendly to mobile phones on your site, you can attract local visitors. Your maps can let them find your location quickly on their phone.

Keep your marketing up-to-date and useful. Plan your mobile marketing strategy instead of randomly messaging potential customers. Make sure the information you give to customers and potential buyers is relevant. Build customer loyalty by providing your customers with what they want.

Before mass producing your mobile marketing scheme to all your customers, do a test batch first to ensure that it is working as it should. Sending out ineffective messages is counterproductive. Test your campaigns on your friends and colleagues first.

Try special deals or discounted offers to attract customers in your mobile marketing efforts. Make you mobile site visible on social networks, your online website and your other advertisements. If you audience sees any benefit in your campaign, they will opt-in. You should advertise your campaign as a quick and easy way to receive exclusive offers.

Be sure to add a promo code to all your outgoing messages. Customers are more inclined to visit a website if they can get a discount.

Try spicing up your mobile media by adding interactive media. Mobile landing pages should contain valuable information, including your web address. More people will be able to participate and find you on the Internet with ease. If your audience is more actively engaged with your message, as opposed to simply reading it, the faster your sales will increase.

Claim your location on all the popular social networking pages. If you don't get your name now, you may find that someone else claims it and your account will remain hard to find. You should begin with simple steps when using social media for your business, and take bigger steps once you are more established. To begin with, set up a Facebook account and a Foursquare business page.

If you truly want your mobile marketing plan to succeed, keep your messages limited in number, and make sure each one extends an offer of significant value to the customer. If you do this, then customers are much more likely to find your offers interesting and respond to them positively.

Coupons sent via multimedia messaging services can reward your existing customers and entice new ones. Put a promotional code on each coupon. These coupons should contain a special code that your mobile site can track. Using promotions is a good way to pull in new customers as well as rewarding existing customers.

As you read above, when it comes to mobile marketing, there are a variety of things you can do. The way to market isn't concrete, and there isn't even a concrete definition, as long as you use content that is user friendly on mobile devices, you're mobile marketing. 

With the information listed here, you can learn how mobile marketing can benefit your business.
