More people will connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years, and brands are spending and succeeding. It is now prime time as evidenced by Google and Apple getting into the game. Apple's announced acquisition of Quattro Wireless and Google's announced acquisition of AdMob create a new ecosystem that will ultimately benefit mobile subscribers and the entire market. Advertising will help better monetize applications, and provide more incentive for marketers to use mobile as part of an integrated marketing strategy.
This webinar features client success highlights including an opted-in database of nearly 200,000; Nestle heard from customers that mobile marketing influenced their buying patterns, and Home Box Office saw mobile click-thru rates of nearly 13 percent.
Benefits
The Power of the Mobile Database: Brands have used SMS-based calls-to-action to compile a valuable database of "friendly" advocates that can be targeted by geographic location and leveraged in the future for re-marketing opportunities.
Mobile Customer Programs Drive Loyalty: These programs create a direct line of contact between the brand and the consumer and the opportunity to drive loyalty by providing members with valuable brand insights and deals.
Mobile Coupons' Time is Here: A recent study from Deloitte found that more than 57 percent of consumers said they would want to receive a coupon on their phone.
The Mobile Web is Gaining Influence: With the advancement of smartphone devices and mass adoption of all-in-one phone plans, the mobile Web is quickly becoming an ever increasing and compelling resource. As a result, a growing number of brands are launching sites to deliver their consumers an additional array of insights and value.
Join Eric Harber, President and COO of Hipcricket and Angela Poe, the Online Marketing, Promotions and Social Media Manager of the Gary Group, to hear about customer results and mobile trends for 2010 including the mobile web, customer loyalty and satisfaction, mobile couponing, mobile databases and analytics, at our DMA New Year Webinar on January 25, 2010.
