Mobile marketing is now in its golden era. We are now receiving advertisements in our mobile phones. Slowly the market of mobile phones is becoming bigger and bigger and now the main medium for advertisers to use and promote their products. Not all cell phones can receive video streams or connection in the internet. Because of this setback marketers use short message service or also known as sms advertisements to reach mobile users that doesn’t have any internet connections. The user before the messages are being sent gives the permission that the advertisement can be sent to his/her cell phone through web sign-up or by sending a 5-digit short code.
Most cell phone users in the United States do not use short message service or sms more often. But slowly phone manufacturers and cellular plan companies expand their network strategies through getting more ideas on how could they use other system of advertising so that more users could be reached.
These marketing advertisements will more likely work for cell phone users with small businesses because they could use their own mobile phones to reach more costumers through promoting their product advertisements in their cellular phones. That’s why a small scale super mart owner in the United States has decided to use this kind of mobile marketing technique to promote his store new products and plans.
Electronic media nowadays is very effective in promoting products. The advertisements that are being sent through short message service are reaching more and more people that you could ever imagine and could strengthen loyalty bond with their costumer. This strategy is an advantage if one or more of your consumers lived in a location that is far from your store or business area.
Some of these consumers tend to change their addresses more often and trough their cellular phone with permission that if there are new promotions and products that are going to be sold by the super mart they could be actually informed through messaging.
Consumers that are always busy tend to neglect the advertisements that you posted if they are in a hurry and most of these people are using mobile phones. They tend to focus in their cellular phones than reading posted advertisements.
Market owners use mobile advertisements because of the competition to promote their products than any other stores. Small scale supermarkets are often using this kind of strategy than bigger stores. They use this kind of technique to reach out more people so that they can promote their location and products.
Promoting product via short message service is advantageous to many small time marketers. It can reach more people than posting an advertisement on a billboard or an electrical post. Posting advertisements would take so much of your time and effort if you want to pursue this kind of strategy. Services offered in the internet most likely beneficiary to consumers because they don’t have to leave their homes just to read or see what products you are offering and this also applies to messaging advertisements.
Mobile marketing now is slowly evolving because of this trend. Competitions between market owners are one of the main causes of this strategy. Product promotions nowadays are more accessible to consumers and the use of cellular phones as a medium to get the attention of your consumers would only take a little of your time and budget.
