Mobile Marketing trends are just stunning!

To begin with, over 85% of the SMS (text) messages received by Mobile Device users are opened (read) in the first three (3) minutes. That is unbelievable!

If You compare that to email, on the average they are not read for 48 hours. It really is just not a fair comparison!?

People are almost as tired of email as they are of regular mail. Why do you think the Post Office is struggling? We rarely send a letter any more.

In fact, for the most part we don't even send a check to pay our bills. Cash and Checks are almost obsolete! They are going the way of vinyl records.

If all You did for Your Business is implement a focus on Mobile Marketing, for the most part You would be ahead of Your competition!

Look at this:

Many small businesses have relied on direct-mail marketing as one of their primary advertising tools. But these days a new kid is in town?mobile marketing. Companies have already found many creative ways to use smartphones to increase their brand recognition and connect with customers. Businesses now give customers mobile coupons for their products, restaurants text specials to people nearby. Realtors ask people to text a code to connect with buyers interested in more information on a house. And healthcare companies even provide text reminders to patients to take their medicine and refill prescriptions.

While it is tempting to just jump on the bandwagon for the newest technology and abandon direct mail, it is important to understand both types of marketing and when each is most beneficial. While mobile marketing can be a?cost effective solution that yields impressive results for some businesses, there are still situations when the old standby of direct mail is your best bet. ??More at?Direct Mail and?Mobile Marketing?Compared : Marketing :: American??

As you can see, many don't want to give up ?how they use to do it!? You can still use these older methods of marketing, and some may say that they are still getting acceptable results, but we can still ?get there? if we walk or use a horse and buggy.

I don't want to be negative at all! I am just saying that there are better way ?to do it? now! It is Your Business! You built it! You get to decide!
