Article sourced from www.mobile-marketing-blog.net
Text messaging is the most direct way to stay in touch with your customers. Text messaging is a very personal method of communication because you can reach your customers no matter where they are or what they are doing. To build the most successful mobile marketing campaign possible, you must focus on collecting mobile numbers….the question is how will you get these numbers from your clients and customers?
Think about…..
– Who’s interested in learning the latest news, specials, deals, discounts, solutions, and events being offered by your business?
– Who stands to benefit by getting messages from you that are fast, timely and relevant?
– Clever ways you could collect mobile numbers by creating a campaign that is in the best interest of your target audience.
– Exciting ways to provide value for your loyal clients. For example, why not create an incentive referral program, for example when current clients refer a new client’s mobile number to you, provide a reward .
Remember anyone who can benefit from your business should be part of your mobile community.
