Maybe you have heard that many big companies are doing something about mobile marketing, but you still don’t know more about it. From Wikipedia, we can get an introduction about it. Mobile marketing is broadly defined as “the use of the mobile medium as a means of marketing communication” or “distribution of any kind of promotional or advertising messages to customer through wireless networks”. It sounds just like selling goods through mobile to make profits.

Mobile marketing includes one of two categories of interest. First one is relatively new, which means to describe marketing on or with a mobile device, such as a cell phone using SMS Marketing. Second one is more traditional definition, which means to describe marketing in a moving fashion - for example - technology road shows or moving billboards.

Not only is mobile marketing “real-time,” but it is highly effective. Mobile coupons have a redemption rate of 15% to 40%. Compare this to traditional print coupons, which are redeemed at less than 2%, and you can see the effectiveness of text message marketing.

However, mobile phones are less standard than PCs. PCs not only have a variety of screen sizes but also provide a variety of operating systems and browsers. In other words, designers are really challenged by users with phones with different viewing sizes, browsers and operating systems.

Businesses need to be aware of the close connection that users have to their mobile phones, and offer simple and clear instructions to opt out of marketing communications. From this angle, mobile phone marketing now can’t be compared with Internet.
