Why Mobile Must be Included in a Multichannel Marketing Campaign
In today’s environment where almost all working-age consumers have mobile phones with anywhere from SMS texting to Internet capability, including the mobile channel is a must for multichannel marketing plans. Mobile’s unique quality is how it gives legs to other channels including retail, print, online, television, outdoor, radio, direct mail and insert media. Now is the time to develop integrated mobile ad campaigns and build opt-in mobile programs to lock in consumer loyalty in this new era of marketing.

How to Create and Execute a Mobile Marketing Campaign
While mobile is not as complicated as commonly assumed, it does require special skill sets and understanding of the wireless carrier environment and the permission process. But it is easily added to existing CRM efforts or print, television, radio and outdoor campaigns. SMS texts, banner ads and coupons have proven effective in cross-channel marketing for marketers across categories.

Planning and Buying Media for Mobile
Fragmentation of media has made life difficult for media planners and buyers. On top of the number of cable channels and publisher Web sites, here comes mobile with its own ecosystem and quirks. As mobile buys become more commonplace, media planners and buyers will be expected to have skills to place ads on mobile Web sites as well as make decisions on SMS programs and other efforts for branding or lead generation.

Tracking and Measuring a Mobile Campaign’s Performance
The campaign’s out the door – did it work, did mobile consumers click through the banner ad, did they click to call, did they visit the landing page, did they opt into the SMS offer? These questions and many others are uppermost on the minds of agencies and media planners and buyers called to account for their media decisions. Tracking and measuring a mobile campaign’s effectiveness is key in these times when every media dollar is expected to stretch and ROI is an expectation.

Building a Loyalty Program with Mobile
The mobile channel’s optimal use is as a CRM tool. SMS, available on 99 percent of all mobile phones, is the favored vehicle for brands seeking to add a mobile component to their mail and online loyalty programs. Consumers are increasingly gravitating to the use of SMS for offers, discounts, coupons and incentives. But the use of SMS must be tempered with the right double opt-in permissions.

Legal Do’s and Don’ts with Mobile Marketing Campaigns
In addition to best practices, there are several laws to keep in mind before deploying a mobile campaign. Regulations governing consumer outreach and database-building through mobile advertising and marketing differ from other channels. In fact, the laws are evolving with no little help from state attorneys general concerned about fair advertising practices. SMS, privacy policies, carrier regulations, mobile ads – all require thought before signing off.
