by: Dr Roni Dhar
In a time when a lot of people are spending less and less money shopping, it is only wise to find a marketing campaign that is cost effective and efficient in reaching your potential customers. Mobile marketing is the solution that you might be looking for. In fact, a lot of retail companies are already reaping the benefits of advertising through SMS or mobile devices. Maybe the time is ripe for you to consider using this type of promotional strategy too. Below is an overview of the different types of premium SMS projects you can undertake as part of you marketing campaign.
One of the first things that companies do when starting a mobile marketing campaign is to get short code solutions, which can be a dedicated short code or a shared short code. Basically, short codes are your own personal business marketing address. You need this service for your mobile campaigns. For example, if your customer wants to know the services that your company is providing, they can access short codes to get the information they need. In fact, even politicians during the last elections used mobile short codes to reach and communicate with voters.
SMS Alerts is one of the most popular mobile marketing solutions you can use. For a minimal fee per month, this service can provide your potential customers or subscriber base with promotional content or free information about your product, company or anything that is related to the products that you sell or services that you provide. You can either send message information manually or, if your subscriber list is huge, you can fully automate your message alert sending procedure using existing tools of your business or company. News agencies make use of this service to provide weather reports, investment news and even stock market updates. Meanwhile, retailers use SMS Alert to provide sale announcements and other promotional campaigns.
SMS Voting and SMS Contests are also popular types of mobile marketing. More often than not, SMS Voting is used by television programs and in national events to enable viewers to choose who they want to win in a contest, for example, or a certain survey or poll. Meanwhile, SMS contests are used as a venue for customers to join or participate in promos and contests. Instead of dropping forms or tickets in drop boxes, you could ask your customers to send promo codes via SMS if they want to participate in a contest or competition that your company is sponsoring. Other popular types of SMS solutions include SMS Gateway, SMS Classified, and SMS Feedback.

Useful Guidelines for Effective Mobile Marketing
by: Christian Wilson
Mobile marketing is increasing on a daily basis, as technology and businesses develop, but so do the opportunities and challenges. Marketers are aiming to reach out to the younger generations by using very innovative ideas, in order to make their campaigns more successful, so they can gain more sales. For example, they are integrating their adverts with popular games and content providers to capture the maximum number within their target audience. This is a very clever idea as people often have to wait while games load so they are forced to engage with the advertising.
SMS Marketing
Marketers want the highest number of subscribers to opt in to their SMS marketing services, and with all the data in place they aim to send their marketing communications for a number of brands that they promote. Campaigns can be set up very quickly, and certain demographics targeted in order to receive the maximum positive response, and of course to keep costs down.
Other mobile marketing
Asides from SMS marketing there are a few other methods.
MMS Mobile Marketing can incorporate a timed slide show with a blend of text, images, video and audio. This captures the consumer’s eye effectively. Nearly all new phone models have screen which enables colour images and these sorts of texts to be received.
Bluetooth marketing can also be used, and the benefits of this technology is that it requires permission to function, therefore the security is higher, has quick transfer speeds, and is radio based meaning there is no cost.
Although more dated, Infrared is another method which is sometimes used, but the down side to this is that it has a very limited range so it didn’t become very popular.
By offering free items, the chance to win prizes or cash back schemes, it encourages the consumer to research that company further and possibly take up their deal. Both small and large companies utilise these sorts of schemes. And even religious organisations, NGOs, and political parties are involved in SMS marketing for publicity purposes.
Because social media is more commonly being linked to mobile marketing, it is definitely the next big thing. Marketers have already latched on to new ideas within this area, and are constantly coming up with more and more. They are taking advantage of the increasing popular use of Facebook, Twitter and mobile phones in order to increase success within their business.
Advertising on web sites is a very common form of mobile marketing. The Mobile Marketing Association put out a list of guidelines and rules which let marketers know of the encouraged format, presentation and size for these type of ads. Large companies such as Google and Yahoo sell advertising placements on their websites, and this is very beneficial because they receive millions of hits every day, therefore the chance of an ad being seem is extremely high.
