Avoid These Mobile Marketing Mistakes.

By Dmitry Vasenyov


Needless to say that mobile marketing is a cool stuff and you can earn much if you implement it in the proper way. However, when utilizing this marketing method people often make some fatal mistakes. Just stay from them if you really want to meet your business objectives.

People often have a wrong approach to mobile marketing. They actually don't see any difference between mobile marketing and email marketing. Trying to act as if they're conducting a banal email marketing campaign often results in a deep disappointment. Mobile users normally don't have enough time to read too much. They want instant information. That's what they expect from you. So you should avoid overloading them with information as they can ban your phone number.

Another terrible mistake is that mobile marketers don't target their audience. It should be taken for granted that mobile marketing is only effective if you send messages to the right audience. You shouldn't utilize text messaging as mass marketing media services do. Obviously, a more intelligent use is required.

As far as I can see mobile marketing campaigns are best used on currently existing customer bases. Therefore you should use your own one for this purpose. Needless to say that you're already familiar with your potential clients. So they must have already found themselves in your SMS list. At my best guess your messages will be given attention.

And finally you need to stay away from hard selling in your text messages. In spite of the fact that mobile marketing is a perfect way to interact with potential clients but you should always keep in mind that you only have up to 150 characters. So don't focus on hard-sell. Otherwise you'll simply make your customers blow up.
