Mobile marketing is a process through which the business organizations promote their product or service through mobile phones. The connotation of mobile marketing may confuse the advertisers. To make it more precise, marketing, which is done through kiosks and other mobile tools, is also known as mobile marketing. But the type of marketing in question is different from that. We are focusing on the various ways of marketing by using mobile phones.

Mobile marketing can be done mainly through three kinds of techniques. They are SMS marketing, text messaging and Bluetooth marketing. The budget required for all the three kinds of mobile marketing is quite affordable. You don’t have to exceed your budget in order to avail this form of marketing. Gone are the days when the traditional forms of marketing were adjudged as the best way of product promotion. Now, technology has advanced and messages can be communicated within a fraction of a second to a huge number of people.

SMS marketing is one of the most popular forms of mobile marketing. The advertisers send the message directly on the mobile phone of the customers without much mediation. Option is made so that the customers can get back to the advertiser immediately. It has been noticed that marketing done through SMS have fetched more positive and immediate response when compared to TV ads or advertisement through print medium. This is because the customers get a clear idea of the product or service directly from the business organizations. The trust level and the immediacy of response increase simultaneously.

Text messaging is an equally viable way of making the customers realize the potential of your product or service. Whether it’s a promotional text or a special offer, customers can be reached directly as a result of which the advertising campaign becomes very successful. Bluetooth marketing via mobiles is a comparatively new form of marketing. It requires sometime for getting popularity.

Brand managers can gain a lot by using any of the mobile marketing techniques. Implementing and successful completion of a mobile marketing campaign is possible only when the strategy is fool proof. The target audience needs to be identified at the very first place. There is no use sending irrelevant messages to a customer. For instance if a company selling cosmetics keeps on sending messages to a male customer, the result has to be negative. If the same approach is applied in case of a female customer, results have to be positive. So its best to discuss with the advertising agencies and then lay down the plans of a mobile marketing campaign.
