Location, activity and time

Smartphones, are really smart. They are the most powerful data-collection tools ever created, don’t just tell brands what consumers want but where consumers are. Sometimes they even tell brands what consumers are doing at different times of the day. Spooky when this lightbulb comes on, as you walk into a shopping mall and you recieve a text from the store you are walking towards informing you what they have on offer.

Location, activity and time are a powerful combination, however, many companies, perhaps luckily for smaller brands, focus on the  technology instead of the people using it. In an exploding mobile market the playing field is still level and some local businesses can and are making exponential leaps and challenging them by getting it right.
Noone like telemarketing, it seems too impersonal and invasive so when it comes to mobile marketing if messages lack relevancy, consumers filter them out quickly, this has the potential to damage a brand badly. To be relevant to consumers, and to slip past the increasingly market savy consumer´s filter, companies must shift their approach to mobile marketing.
Consumers no longer passively participate in campaigns. Instead, they respond in real time, You are hot or you are not, influencing both the scope and direction of promotions. It’s a two-way conversation. It’s not enough to release a sparkly new mobile app. Innovative applications are important, of course, but brands have to do more.
Brands have to motivate people to act by designing campaigns as dynamic and flexible as the mobile market, which now includes search, social, video, music, gaming, payments, retail transactions, location-based services and augmented reality.
If you dont have mobile marketing campaigns manager and would like to see if your business qualifies for a free one month mobile makeover contact via this site.
Brands need a deep understanding of how mobile apps can drive views, downloads and checkins, and how to schedule specific calls-to-action around the real world that we live in. Release dates, product trials and related campaigns, both on and offline must be relative.
Globaljetbusinesssolutions can offer real-time information monitoring from mobile apps and social media to get you a broader perspective, and work alongside local based business and tailor the user experience on an individual level.

1. People don´t read signs but feel the vibration in their pocket

---

According to Gartner, the mobile advertising market is expected to double to $3.3 billion in 2011 and swell to $20.6 billion by 2015. The ads on the side of your facebook and google pages are relevant but do you know what they are? Most likely, the answer to that is lost as is destined a huge chunk of those advertising dollars
This dynamic isn’t going to change. A wise brand strategy, then, swims within the current instead of against it, presenting itself as a useful component of the filtering process. More important than ever is the USP for business.
Filtration is key, like niche marketing the more relevant you can be to consumers the better the outcome. Your mobile marketing consultant is destined to be the lifeblood of your business, helping you to hone and define your market and keep you at their fingertips and pouting lips.

2. Your business is personal to you, make it personal to clients

---

From a messaging standpoint, the great novelty and power of a mobile device is context: A mobile phone is the only consumer appliance that knows where it is at all times, noone is ever further than a few metres from their device
Companies can unlock that power by sending hyper-targeted messages based on narrow windows of opportunity or location. But the process shouldn’t end there. Brands and their agency partners need to know how to get consumers to talk back, to register their preferences in low-key, frictionless ways.
Multi-billion-dollar companies have been built atop algorithms tied to small clickable buttons — think about the “Like” button on Facebook, or the “Was this review helpful to you?” button on Amazon. For Amazon, simply adding that question to each product page brought in $2.7 billion of additional yearly revenue. When people see that their input actually does have some effect, they appreciate it and come back. The more they register their preferences, the more trust brands will build.

---

3. Sociable service for your customers to talk about

---

As social networks have become seamlessly integrated into the rituals of daily life, it’s not surprising to see that the social network market has become saturated.
Overall growth is slowing. In 2010, 134.6 million people used social networks across any technology platform each month, and in 2011, that number will rise by a little more than 3%, according to eMarketer. But consider that social networking is now the fastest-growing mobile activity.
Brands need to take this shift into account as consumers get in the habit of checking Facebook on the run if your site is not optimised for mobile social interaction you will be fired.
Facebook is a tool for conversations. Ad campaigns are conversations too. This is a nice coincidence and a useful one to any brand that knows how to effectively integrate the sometimes chaotic feedback that comes streaming in from this new class of smartphone-liberated consumers, jabbing at their phones in stores, schools, trains and homes.

---

4. Location, activity and time

---

By combining three types of mobile data — location, activity and time — it’s now possible for marketers to assemble a subtle and detailed picture of consumer behavior, one that also takes into account the shifting personas of consumers. A mom, for instance, is a different person at 7 a.m. when she’s getting the kids ready for school, than she is at 9:00 a.m. when she gets to the office.
A savvy marketer shift her message to stay relevant to that mom within a few hours? Relevancy is both the challenge and the opportunity of the revolutionary data-collection capabilities of smartphones.

Mobile Marketing Strategies - Getting Familiar With Text Message Marketing

Mobile marketing through text is essential to small and huge businesses alike. But local businesses seem to take away more from this so-called "marketing SMS" technique especially since their targeted audience are people within their locality. Come to think of it. It won't be that practical to use the text message marketing technique on folks residing in Canada if your local business is situated in New York. You should use online marketing or similar strategies for that and not through SMS. Keep in mind that mobile marketing involving text messages works best if the recipients of the updates can actually check out and drop by your store or shop.

There are several advantages of text marketing over regular marketing online. For one, the delivery of messages can be as instant as it can get with mobile marketing. Although online marketing is also fast, mobile SMS marketing is faster in various senses. The message gets read almost instantly because phones are on most, if not all, of the time, unlike PCs and other devices. You are also sure that your business SMS updates will be sent directly to the phone's inbox and not somewhere else. With e-mail marketing, for instance, there's a chance that your message will be redirected to the Spam folder. That's not good for your business and you know that. So those are just two reasons why you should consider using mobile marketing strategies. There are more notable benefits that you can learn and understand.

If you are indeed considering using mobile marketing through text, you should explore the benefits of having those so-called "short codes" for your business. With the use of such codes, your loyal customers and some interested individuals can opt-in and get important text messages and SMS updates from your business. That can also lead to better response rates and improved sales. If they ever change their mind, offer them the option to opt-out. You don't want to come off as someone forcing your business down the throats of people, do you? Ensure that you know how to make the most out of those short codes and your other mobile phone marketing efforts.

Whether you are selling or marketing mobile phones, cakes, bags or even a profession, you can really benefit from mobile marketing as long as you know exactly what you are doing. In this world wherein it's possible to send text messages online, shop through your mobile phones and find out where you're at when you're lost, mobile marketing is not a far fetched idea that you can't be successful at.

Mobile Text Message Marketing For the Small Business Owner

Mobile text message marketing has arrived for the small business owner and is growing faster than any other advertising medium. Your customers now use their mobile phone for text messaging more than voice and internet access combined. In the U.S. there are now over 276 million wireless subscribers which is 89% of the total U.S. population. Cell phone usage has surpassed home phone usage along with the addition of 135.2 billion text messages being sent every month. In 2010, the number of text messages sent in the U.S. could reach 160 trillion.

What does that mean for you, the small business owner?

Your customers are on their mobile devices every day, all day. Newspapers are in decline, radio stations are hurting, direct mail doesn't produce a large return, and Yellow pages are almost extinct. You need to advertise to your customers where they are, at that moment, directly and instantly. Text marketing allows this and will also produce almost instant sales.

Large corporations have had access to text or SMS marketing as it is also know for a few years now. These large corporations have shifted their advertising focus from traditional media and according to the Mobile Marketing Association, by 2011 more than half of all national brands will spend between 5% and 25% of their marketing budget on mobile. At this time over 40% of global brands have already begun text message marketing campaigns.

Instead of just surviving with national chains in your market, you can now take them head on by leveling the playing field. The chains work every day to take your loyal customers. Now you can get your customers on a list and essentially fence them in with great offers that reward them for being your customer.

Thankfully you don't have to spend 5% to 25% of your marketing budget on mobile marketing. Text marketing was previously only available to large companies due to the cost, dedicated short code numbers needed and the necessity to have their campaigns fully managed. Now, with text message marketing companies designed for small businesses, if your small business does $10,000 a week in sales, your total advertising percentage versus gross sales will be only.006%!

Making A Mobile Website With WordPress Plugins Is Now Easy

Mobile. The future is here. Everyone (or almost everyone!) now has a mobile device to access the internet and even more importantly they're actually using it to access websites online.
I would think anyone would like to have a mobile optimized version of their blog/website but in the past that has proved to be a daunting task.
If you were not an expert web coder or if you lacked the money to pay a developer to build a custom mobile solution for you then having a mobile website or blog was not a priority.
That has all changed now, especially for WordPress users. There are now many quality plugins available for the open source blogging platform, and the best part is the majority of them are free.
The 'how' part is very easy. By using one of the plugins listed below, you just install and click a few buttons. You'll then have a mobile website!
I cover 3 popular, quality WordPress mobile plugins here below for you to consider:
WP Touch
WPTouch is one of the more popular WordPress mobile plugins as it is already in use by thousands of users. The great thing about WP Touch is that it's super easy to set up and configure. All you do is upload the plugin, activate it, and then go through a single page of options to configure it how you like.
It looks great 'right out of the box' after you configure it, you can select which pages you want to display and you can add advertising to it such as AdSense to monetize your mobile site.
WP Touch is the mobile plugin that powers this site, KennethHolland.com.
Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin
Wapple is a complete solution for WordPress mobile users. The big advantage of Wapple is the amount of customization that can be done to configure your mobile website. You can add a custom header and graphics and design your site to look much like your regular website.
The disadvantage is it takes a considerable amount of time to set everything up. I have tried it, and frankly it can be a pain. However, I am considering using it in the future when I have more time and resources to devote to it. It is a quality plugin.
WordPress Mobile Pack
WordPress Mobile Pack is another quality plugin. I have only tested it (not used it) but I know several website owners who do use the plugin and love it. The plugin is updated frequently to keep pace with bugs and WordPress software updates and that's a must in my opinion.
The only obvious drawback that I've seen is that the themes are difficult to customize unless you are savvy with that sort of thing.
[You can find the above plugins by searching for them on the WordPress.org site]
So...
You cannot go wrong with any of the above plugins to get your WordPress blog mobile friendly. They all work extremely well and each have different strengths and weaknesses.
There are also many others on the WordPress.org site and that you may want to try. These are certainly not the only ones out there so there may be another solution that would be right for you.
If you're not sure which one is right for your objectives you should try them all. They're easy to ramp up and test. The key here is to pick one get your mobile optimized blog going. The future is here and the time is now.

15 Tips for Effective Mobile Website Design

Did you notice that mobile phones have become iconic devices with the proliferation of iPhones, Android phones and Blackberries? They have gathered a critical mass now and an increasing number of people are searching for information and resources on the Internet with their mobiles.

How do you tap this vast potential market? A mobile website is the answer. Design one yourself or get a site designed as soon as possible. The competition for attention in the smartphone segment is still manageable now, but will become worse as the days pass by.

Here are 15 tips for a great mobile website:

The mobile phones have much smaller screen space and therefore you need to cut down on the amount of information that you can include in the mobile pages.

 The phones work on much slower bandwidth even if they are on 3G. Your site loads much faster if you have smaller files, few and compact graphics and other elements. Since the capacity of the phones vary widely, use progressive enhancement. This way you will have your site working fine off the most limited browsers but show up really great with the more capable browsers and phones.

 Attention span on a mobile site is really limited. Include your most salient points - the big hitters -and do not try to tell everything and confuse the reader.

You might try this format - powerful headline, a paragraph of introduction text and a few bullet points followed by a call to action. New page loads are taxing on the bandwidth, too much information on a single page is daunting.

 You have to strike a fine balance. Advertise on the mobile networks. The clicks are still affordable I can show you how.

 You can also set up campaigns on AdWords (content display network) with mobiles as the selected target.

 Always send the clicks to a mobile version of the landing page. Don't drop the ball by sending the clicks to a desktop landing page which won't show up clearly on the small screens.

 Include a link to your main site so that they can see the whole story, if they are not happy with the limited information on the mobile site.

 Mobile commerce (pay from a mobile - PayPal and phone billing) is picking up very fast. Be ready to take advantage.

 Make your forms as small as possible. They can't fill up large forms with the mobile keyboard. Hot tip: Include a touch-to-call or click-to-call button. They are working off a mobile phone after all and calling someone is the most natural thing to do.

 Build a SMS list. SMS marketing, like email marketing, is a potential winner. However you need to use it responsibly or else, you will go down the email spammer route.

 You must include a mobile sitemap and submit it to the search engines. How can we forget the search engines? They can send large number of people to your sites after all.

 Setup auto-sensing and auto-redirection for mobile browsers on the main URL.

Don't split your branding efforts by advertising 2 different URLs.

You can rest assured of massive success for your mobile websites and unlock a vast new market by following these tips.

The General Points Of Mobile Website Development And What It Can Provide For Your Company

Mobile website development is a term used to describe the specialized modification of a site to make it clearer to read on a mobile device. Though some businesses overlook the importance of this task it can be advantageous in helping to promote a company. There are several different mobile marketing techniques that can be improved by having this sort of program in play. Not only will it help to make your other promotion strategies better but it can also exist on its own as one.

For those who know a lot about mobile technology it doesn't make much sense to ignore this vital resource. Cell phones are greatly utilized by people of all ages. Many people spend a lot more time on utilizing the web capabilities of their cell than they do their desktop.

Portability and operational intelligence are going to bring ways of marketing with these machines that we have never before imagined. Beginning now at the start of this exciting new advertisement format is a great idea.

Some of the other techniques that are often used on cell phones include SMS marketing and Mobile application development. Both of these promotion options can be enhanced by having a well created cell accessible page. If a business puts out a promotional text message and does not have a website that can be viewed via the portable device there is a gap in time before clients can act on the call to action presented in the text. Time between original view and ability to act on a call to action is obliterated by a link that can be viewed on the portable device. Instant connections are what this genre of advertisement is all about. People today are preoccupied, they are impetuous, if you can get them to act immediately after the thought hits them you are going to have the best response rate. If the customer can instantly go to your site they are going to be a lot more likely to do what you want them to when they get there.

Another advantage is that with an instantaneous connection like this consumers are able to gain access to your information quite rapidly. If consumers want to know your business hours or pertinent schedule information for your business they will like being able to instantly access this info through the web from their phone. Clearly, as the leader of a company, you should be able to see how having access to a device that most people keep in arm's reach every second of the day could be beneficial.

Mobile website development is a great way of providing access to information over the web for consumers who frequently utilize mobile devices. Getting your site enhanced for access via portable devices is super easy. Many companies exist that can help to make this process much simpler for you. Just contact one of those places today to get started.

What Does Your Mobile Website (Or Lack Thereof) Say About Your Business?

Market Watch recently published an article titled Your Smart Phone Says a Lot About You, that analyzed a set of sociological trends among owners of various popular Smartphone devices, including BlackBerries, Android devices and, of course, the iPhone.While it seems that their amusing investigation of the secret identities of mobile users was published solely for entertainment purposes, it certainly prompted us to consider a correlated matter (and as Smartphones become mainstream, it doesn't seem impertinent to wonder): what sort of image or values are businesses conveying on the mobile web?

Businesses of all industries are starting to pay more attention to who's visiting their sites-and what technology they're using to get there. More and more, site analytics are factoring into the decisions a company makes regarding digital media and online marketing, including how to manage the shift many consumers are making to the mobile web. A couple of weeks ago we posted a blog about what one company, vegas.com found when they started tracking the number of visitors that were accessing their site from mobile devices-and guess what? When they discovered just how many leads they were losing every day because of how their site displayed in Smartphone browsers, mobilizing was an easy decision.

And while vegas.com is a great example of a company that was proactive about creating a mobile presence, many businesses still just aren't in tune with the message they send to mobile users-or they haven't established a budget or a strategy for mobile web development yet. Frankly, it seems unlikely that any business interested in establishing a professional, polished image and engaging valuable leads would be complacent about how their company was represented on the mobile web. Yet many brands and businesses are bouncing leads and missing sales opportunities every day because their sites aren't accessible from mobile devices, or if they are, they're major eye-sores in a mobile browser. And, granted that mobile web development is still a relatively new trend, it's still hard to believe that so many businesses haven't made any plan for transitioning to the up and coming new medium-maybe they just haven't considered what their website communicates to mobile users about their business.

As a matter of fact, we aren't the first ones to call attention to this shortcoming: Ad Age, the online marketing and media news source, recently published an article cataloguing "The World's Worst Agency Websites (For iPhones and iPads)." What was particularly interesting about their report was that it called out digital and creative ad agencies-companies whose primary function is to help brands with online marketing and media-for having sites that aren't even accessible from iOS devices because they are so heavily laden with Flash content. Even major international corporations were guilty of this-including Ogilvy, one of the worlds largest incorporated advertising agencies. The report was eye-opening as it showed that even businesses that claim to have expertise with mobile marketing, are failing when it comes to actually demonstrating those skills on the mobile web.

The good news for businesses that still don't have a mobile website, or any mobile strategy at all, is that it's not too late to get in the game. Going forward, sites that aren't optimized for mobile browsers won't impress the growing mobile user base-these companies stand to lose valuable business opportunities and fall behind the competition if they don't adapt to the new technological frontier. But as the need to engage mobile users becomes more critical every day, businesses, brands and agencies, will have to start giving more thought to how they're representing their business on the mobile web-and what that representation conveys about their company

How to Make a Mobile Website – 6 Easy Tips

How to Make a Mobile Website – 6 Easy Tips

http://www.mobilehelpers.com/globaljetbusinesssolutions
Accessing the web through mobile handheld devices is a usual practice these days. It’s apparent that people hooked to the Internet via their phones are on the huge rise. Furthermore, lots of consumer-focused companies have already realized how promising the mobile platform is and have by now equipped themselves with a mobile-friendly alternatives to their primary websites so that they will as well provide an accessible user experience on mobile devices. Here are 6 Easy Tips to help you make  a smart desicion about creating marketing campaigns instead of throwing away your advertising dollars.

In fact mobile web browsing is not a passing fad, it has actually become an absolute necessity, even the new Internet standard. So if you haven’t yet set up your own mobile site, we’ll today focus on how you can create a mobile version of your site running through various important options and basic techniques you can employ to make your mobile site work successfully. Now having got some of the theory out of the way, let’s turn our attention to more practical matters.

Obviously if you are not in charge of modifying your website you understand that every time you change something your web designer will charge you, so the below method may not be the most cost effective option. I reccommend going to www.mobilehelpers.com/globaljetbusinesssolutions to recieve a free demo on How to Make a Mobile Website for a one time fee and easy to update mobile website access

There is a special procedure involved in designing a mobile website. One way to build your mobile site is to modify your existing website to make it compatible for mobile handsets. If you decide to do so, expect that there will be big changes in terms of layout, design and construction. Here are some principles you should take note of before proceeding to build one of your own:

1. Layout

It can be time consuming to browse through a mobile site, so remember to put all of the most important information you want mobile users to see on the top of the page. And don’t forget to include your company logo being customized for a mobile site. Make sure to minimize left/right navigation, which is difficult on a phone, and instead arrange your content in a single column layout. Also you should minimize the use of tables, but if you do need to incorporate them, use no more than 2 columns, and avoid row and column merging.

2. Content

You should make sure that the information on your website is easy to read and navigate, and doesn’t take the visitors much to figure out, since they’re probably on the go while looking at your mobile site. Having finally selected what part of the content should be displayed on mobile, tailor your site menu adjusting text to avoid zooming. As for the typography used to render the content, consider using headings to control font sizing.

3. Coding

There is not really any special coding required for your actual mobile site. It is much easier if your mobile site is coded using either XML or XHTML. You may also build your site with the most basic HTML and CSS coding possible. Title tags, description meta tags, heading tags and filenames should be carefully crafted with target keywords to maximize the little optimizable content available.

4. Images

Most mobile phones would take forever to load heavy images. So use images and graphics as little as possible, only where contextually relevant. And if you do wish to put images on your mobile website, it should be in .jpeg or .gif or .png format as these files are pretty much light-weight. Plus make sure to compress your pictures to avoid zooming. And one more, today nearly all current devices display images, however, users may browse with the images turned off. So always use the alt text which is a recommended practice.

5. Page Size

When assigning a style for a mobile website, it’s very essential to keep it all simple and page sizes small. Mind that the maximum page size for a mobile page is only 20 Kb, so make everything fit and if possibly use less than 10 Kb. Keep in mind that the users usually get charged per KB of mobile web data.

6. Page Links

A good mobile website design provides back buttons and links. While it is rather difficult to get around on a mobile phone and many phones are not equipped with back buttons, try to provide them to escape dead ends. Plus make sure that all pages are linked to other pages. And one more, if it is actually a phone site why not invite to a call, making it a link.

Few more tips:

* Your URL says much about your mobile website. So think of using the better .mobi domain which indicates a mobile experience instead of .com, .edu, .org, etc. that stand for a desktop web experience.
Plus, you may also want to think on having your mobile version on a subdomain – that’s the way many websites do it. For example mobile version of Digg is http://m.digg.com/ (the ordinary is http://digg.com/)
* Test the mobile version of your site on multiple devices (and preferably of different platforms) since it is the only way to be really sure that your site provides a good mobile experience. IF you do not have an access to multiple devices (which is a common thing) you may use one of these web-based emulators, such as the iPhoneTester.com for example.
* Make sure that you have one of the refreshingly updated site, otherwise your mobile website won’t catch up with the growing amount of mobile web surfers.
* Since most mobile browsers aren’t compatible with Flash, most video and audio players, JavaScript, frames, pop-ups, and other things that people like to use to spice up their sites, they are completely unusable for those who come to your website through their mobile phones.
* It would be also very convenient to have variable screen sizes and resolutions of your mobile website to scale page elements by screen size, rather than setting fixed pixel widths for page elements. Do consider that different mobile phones have different screen sizes.

If you follow the foregoing standards carefully, there is a pretty good chance that your mobile website will be able to render all essential information in a manner that is basically usable and efficient for your customers.

Sound like another headache that you just cannot face or simply donot have the time to devote to "another thing" in your business?

• MobileBytes launches White Label program for restaurants

    Curbside & Takeout, Customer Service / Experience, Marketing, Marketing / Branding / Promotion, Online / Mobile / Social, Online Ordering, Online Services, Self Service

Phoenix-based technology firm, MobileBytes LLC is trying to make it easier and more affordable for restaurants to reach their customer base with the launch of its White Label program. The technology offers restaurants a branded, customized app with extensive marketing features and capabilities in lieu of proprietary app development.
“With MobileBytes’ White Label program, a restaurant’s customer can simply download this free custom app to gain full access to all featured items and images on the menu as well as images of the restaurant,” said co-founder Dan Calderone.  “While on the go, customers can quickly and conveniently place orders - whether it be dine-in, takeout or delivery - or they can make a reservation, all without delay.”
The MobileBytes’ White Label Program is PCI-DSS certified to ensure that all transactions are completely secure.
“Our service allows time-strapped customers a way to get in and check out in an instant, ultimately increasing a restaurant’s revenue. Customers no longer have to wait for their check, they can calculate their tip and checkout using securely stored credit card data,” Calderone said.
The app also lets consumers know what the estimated wait time will be for their order.
Additionally, the restaurant manages the content of the app through a web-based back office, where access to a marketing tab allows the owner three different ways to reach its influential customer – via a push notification, text message and/or email message.  
“This web-based system is compatible with any restaurants’ POS system,” Calderone said. “The restaurant can maintain control and make changes at any time.”
MobileBytes’s White Label program is available at the iTunes app store and the Android market, and is free to download.
