You don’t have to be a corporate speaker to realize that mobile marketing is the next frontier in business, but it can be an intimidating realm for many small and midsize businesses. IBM asked us to write an article about incorporating technology in these environments in order to make the work of a staff of any size more efficient, effective, and productive for your business. It may surprise you, but it’s easier than you think to take advantage of the fact that people spend time on their phones and market to them where they spend their leisure time. Following the five-step formula for mobile marketing outlined in the article will allow you to do things like tap into new markets through offering online promotions and leveraging your email list to reach your users.
The article also provides insight into SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, and how (even if you’re not a corporate speaker who specializes in marketing, advertising, and promotional strategy) to ensure that the right people are finding your website when they search on their phones and devices. You can even utilize mobile marketing on a local or location-based level to snag customers when they’re near you.
