Mobile, if used correctly, has the potential to become one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal. With the attention levels of today's consumer having far passed saturation, mobile marketing offers marketers an alternative to traditional mass media that has mass reach with personal appeal.

Why Mobile?

The mobile industry has shown continual growth around the globe - by the end of 2012 it is expected that approximately two thirds of the human race will own a handset. In the same year, the total number of mobile subscribers worldwide is expected to reach 4.81 billion.

While this is happening the world's population is likely to increase from approximately 6.55 billion to 7 billion, meaning that there is potential for the worldwide handset penetration level to hit the 50 percent mark by the end of 2019.

Growing consumer control

There are so many channels available to consumers now that television and radio programs capable of attracting a mass-market audience are few and far between. To make matters worse, with the advent of technologies such as hard disc PVR's (Personal Video Recorders), consumers are given the option to simply skip past the marketing messages presented to them by means of paid advertisements, rendering the marketers message completely useless.

Increased media fragmentation

Consumers are being bombarded with an increasing number of mass media marketing messages and becoming much more selective about the ones they pay any attention to. The need for a targeted and highly personalized marketing channel is becoming essential to marketers who wish to break through the clutter and reach their target recipient in a way that counts.

The personal nature of mobile

Consumers all over the developed world have come to rely on their mobile phone as the essential communications tool. They personalize it; they take it with them wherever they go; many of them can't imagine living without it.

Mobile Advertising and Marketing is one of our fastest growing sectors with its total market value for MMS and Video Messages predicted to reach 1.2 billion Rands by 2011 according to Reuters Telecoms survey. The mobile channel enables one-to-one and one-to-many marketing opportunities letting brands form personalised relationships with their customers.

Marketers recognise and want to harness the complete potential of mobile marketing and advertising. However, they need mobile marketing solutions which can help them create interactive campaigns and reach the maximum number of customers irrespective of which network they subscribe to or which handset model they are using.

PocketMedia Interactive Campaign Management Platform is specifically designed for non technical marketers helping them create and manage mobile campaigns. The product enables fast set-up and launch of direct marketing campaigns, product promotions, competitions, quizzes, auctions or text voting.

The Campaign Management platform is supported by a complete MIS and reporting tool which can help track responses, measure effectiveness and allow management of an entire
campaign in-house.

Mobile Marketing is interactive powerful and has an immediate impact. Mobile Marketing represents many choices and is fast becoming the medium of choice for many organisations. By introducing mobile technology into existing communication campaigns, businesses enable their customers to take advantage of special offers, cash in mobile coupons, obtain additional, relevant information and receive alerts about events.

Mobile marketing enables advertisers to send out custom-made and personalized multimedia campaigns to lists of targeted audiences—enabling customers to respond directly. A few of the attractive features of mobile SMS marketing include:

  • Anytime, anywhere communication that is direct and immediate
  • Can be targeted to particular audience groups based on age, profession or gender
  • Cost effective

  • Huge potential for viral marketing as customers tend to forward messages in groups
  • Can be easily integrated in cross-media including TV, print and radio
Advantages of Anytime, Anywhere Mobile Marketing

The highly portable nature of the mobile phone has changed the way people communicate. It makes customers and businesses available to each other anytime, anywhere and transactions can be done 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No more waiting for week days and working hours. This provides a tremendous opportunity for businesses to reach out to customers at critical moments.

Proximity and context are the two major factors that have a significant influence on mobile marketing.

Proximity: Because the mobile gadget is fixed on immediate location, there is enormous scope to tailor the communication to any particular location

Context: Because it is associated with where you are, communication can also be adapted and modified to what you could be doing at that specific place.

Advantages of Bulk Mobile Marketing

Being able to send bulk messages to customers is a prominent feature of mobile marketing. It offers businesses several advantages including:

Cost effectiveness - Instead of sending individual letters or brochures to their customers, companies can choose to send bulk messages to thousands of customers at a fraction of the price.

Time saving - Businesses no longer have to draft single messages and send them to individual mobile subscribers. Instead, one message is created, which is then sent to the targeted audience group based on the requirements of that group.

Effortless tracking - Delivery of messages and the elicited response can be tracked with existing systems. Immediate delivery- Text messages are received almost instantaneously.
