Advertising vs. Marketing • Advertising exists to get potential customers in the door • Marketing exists to engender a mutually beneficial exchange of goods or commodities
Know your demographic • The most well-planned mobile marketing campaign will fail if it is aimed off center of the target demographic. • Use personable language and wording appropriate to your business type, but avoid over familiar communications.
Inbound call tracking • Assign local phone numbers to ads in order to determine which are useful and which aren’t • Adapt ad budget to ramp up benefit and eliminate waste
Inbound call tracking cont’d • The same theory can be applied to text message campaign opt-ins (opt-in code will inform as to physical location) • Location specific marketing profiles are the way of the future and are easily built with SMS campaigns
SMS Campaigns • When designing an SMS campaign • Incentivize opt-in • Incentivize every interaction thereafter • Do not abuse the right to contact people on personal mobile devices • Always provide opt-out
SMS Campaigns cont’d • When running concurrent SMS campaigns, make sure to offer different incentive levels • Campaign designed to entice new subscribers should carry different benefits and incentives than regular customer loyalty program
Rewarding Loyalty • Rather than giving away tchotchkes, reward loyal members with discounts on regularly purchased items or services • Always provide incentive for customers to introduce friends, relatives, acquaintances etc. to your business
Tis the season • Leverage seasonal trends to your advantage (i.e. sales coinciding with summer, discounts for customers wearing their favorite Hawaiian shirt, etc.) • Bear in mind that kids are home from school in the summer, gear events and promotions toward catering to the family
Keep it simple, streamlined • While the prevalence of online viral marketing leads some advertisers to create vast interactive ad campaigns, ultimately text messaging and mobile marketing should be conducted with simple colloquial verbiage and a straightforward approach • Any website/sales site links should be fully optimized for mobile before being included in a campaign
