Importance Of Mobile Marketing For Your Local Businesses

There are already 5 billion people walking around with mobile phones –that means mobile is already nearly five times bigger than the Internet

Apple just sold over 2 million more iPhones… and Google’s bragging that their customers are activating 160,000 Droid smartphones a day!

More than HALF of all new Internet connections are from mobile “smartphones”

These 5 billion cell phone owners… 51 million + smartphone surfers… are carrying these pocket-size computers around with them around the clock!

(and get this: 91% of Americans keep their cell phone within three feet of them 24/7… and about a third of people with a cell phone would rather be without their wallet than their phone!)

Mobile Marketing done correctly can make your phone ring more often and bring more foot traffic into your business. Just think, when better time to present your perfect customer with your phone number or a special offer, than when they have their phone in their hand!

Mobile marketing is fast, easy and affordable, and FUN!

Have you tried to access your business website from your mobile phone?

How did that work out for you?

Reason 2 – Around 40% of all people who own a mobile phone today will go online and around half of these will actually be spending time online at least once each day.

Reason 3 – The creating of a mobile website for your business is relatively inexpensive. However how they are designed is different from the way in which a traditional website will be designed because of the screen size and resolutions that need to be worked with. Plus you will find that creating such a site doesn't take up as much time.

Moreover, there are currently more mobile phones in the US than computers, and more and more folks are using their mobile devices to search for basic products and services (especially local products and services), not having a mobile version may start to have a negative impact on your bottom line.
