Marketing to smartphones is a massive opportunity. On the end of each of these devices is a customer. Each of these customers has needs; wants, goes shopping and recently many consumers have worked out how to go shopping via their smartphones.
So where's the opportunity?
Like anything in business:
1. Find out what the market, the massive group of customers wants
2. Give it to them
3. Repeat
Mobile Marketing provides us with a platform through which we can do this more effectively for more people. Why?
Because more and more people have a mobile phone, specifically - a smartphone.
But what is a smart phone?
A smart phone is a mobile phone that is web enabled and has whole load of features that computers have. It can take videos, pictures, email, present documents, edit text across a range of formats and much, much more. And yes - you can take calls on it too!
Such a smart device in the hands of so many people offers a great opportunity to marketers and business owners alike. If we know the mobile phone numbers for our customer base, there's a lot we can do for our customer:
• Send them an SMS with a fantastic offer
• Notify them when their favourite product is in stock
• Send them a catalogue of new products they can view on their smartphone
• Send them a SMS with a link to a page where they can make a purchase right away
• Take their booking as a priority during busy times and leading up to holidays
We can really take care of our customer base. We can send them photos. They can send us photos and, with their permission, we can share these photos through our social media channels. Our customers can promote our products!
Mobile Marketing was restricted to SMS for several years. The advent of the Smart phone has opened up many possibilities. A web enabled device, such as an iPhone lets us send an SMS with a link in it. When the customer hits that link, they can go straight to a page that we've set up for them, and they can take an action that will lead to revenue for the business, and a convenient purchase or booking for the customer.
Marketing to Smartphones has only just begun. Whilst some of the new technologies available now may seem a little new, the principles of marketing and business remain the same:
• Get to know your customer
• Know what your customer wants
• Give them what they want
• Keep them happy and provide outstanding service
These are principles that will never change, and can be simply applied to this wonderful new technology that makes it easier for us to communicate and service our customers.
