Techniques | SMS
SMS is the Workhorse
of Mobile Marketing
SMS is an Opt-In Only channel. It is illegal to
send text messages for the purpose of
advertising if there is not written consent by
the receiver.
21. Here’s How SMS Works
Mobile users subscribe by
sending a keyword as a
message to a short code. “Text
LimeMe to 59769 to receive a
free Margerita.”
The text is received and the
phone number is put into a
database.
This triggers an auto responder
that sends a text back to the
customer.
The customer can be sent other
marketing messages and alerts
over time or until they
unsubscribe.

Mobile Health Check
Pick up your smartphone and go to your website. Ask yourself these
questions.
Does it load in less than three seconds?
Does it draw your eye to your key selling points
or message?
Is the content easy to read?
Is it easy to navigate?
Is it easy to recognize and activate the call to
action?
Does it provide a good user experience?
Is it a website you would spend time on if it was
not your own?
If you mostly answered "no", then it's time to optimize your mobile site
and capture the traffic and sales you've been missing out on.
35. Mobile Techniques | Web Marketing Seminar
Shrink to the size of its surroundings.
Images and text will rearrange in a single
column.
Goal is to present the screen without scroll
bars.
It can mean less maintenance
All content of your site is viewable which can
mean long load times.
37. CNN spent $15 million on a complete web redesign to
emphasize mobile. During th reveal of the new website
presentation, Zucker and KC Estenson, senior vice president
and general manager of CNN.com, respectively, repeatedly
emphasized the importance of mobile to CNN's future.
"Desktop [traffic] is flat. It's aging," Estenson said. "Mobile
growth [is] off the chart.
“Estenson presented a slide showing that CNN's mobile web
traffic is up 46% over last summer, and up 70% on CNN's
apps.
Altogether, mobile now accounts for 39% of CNN.com's
traffic, most of that from smartphones. "It will be as big as
desktop before we know it," Estenson said.

44. This provides a more targeted SMS campaign. How this
works
1.You must identify one or more geographic locations using GPS
coordinates.
2.Customers must opt-in to your SMS campaign just like any SMS
campaign.
3.When you send out your marketing messages, the message
will only be sent to those phones that are within your
geographic location you set up.
4.For example, say you have an online gaming service and
gaming is only legal for people in your state. You will target
SMS messages to go to only people in your state that have
opted in.
5.For example, say you have a coffee shop in a strip mall. Set
up a geofense around all the stores in the strip mall and
surrounding roads. Send a coupon for a free scone with a
coffee purchase in the morning and late afternoon. If you say
the coupon is only good for the next hour or two, people will
come runnning.
46. Location Based SMS
1.Peter Piper tries location-based advertising to build SMS
database
Pizza chain Peter Piper rolled out a pilot program to several of its
Texas locations this year that targeted in-app ads to consumers
who were nearby stores.
2.The ads were day-parted to either serve lunch or dinner offers to
consumers and included a call-to-action that prompts consumers
to type in their mobile phone number to join Peter Piper’s SMS
program.
3.To build an ongoing relationship with consumers after they clicked
on the mobile ad, Peter Piper chose to start building up an SMS
database, pointing to the need from marketers to load mobile ads
with calls-to-action that drive long term engagement.
48. Mobile Techniques | Squeeze Marketing Seminar
Landing ‘Squeeze’ Pages
Designed to convince, cajole, or ‘squeeze’ a visitor into
providing one of their most sought-after and coveted
pieces of personal data: the email address
It’s a TRAP!!
Remember the trash compactor scene in Star Wars? Squeeze pages work a
little like that. Once you have an email address and a proven track record
with the prospect, they are more likely to give up the phone number for
mobile marketing purposes.
49. Mobile Techniques | Squeeze Marketing Seminar
What makes a good squeeze page?
No links off the page. Do provide a way to close the
page.
Minimum content above the fold.
Have a very desirable offer.
Email course
E-book
Whitepaper collection
Templates/Design Aids
If you make it a pop-up, don’t be annoying
If splash page before your website home page, be
clear it is not your home page and provide an easy
way to leave the page and go to home.
50. Mobile Techniques | Inbound Marketing Seminar

54. Local Mobile Marketing Seminar
Google Research shows that local-mobile
consumers want to connect with local businesses.
55. Mobile Marketing Seminar
Local
Location-based social networking sites such as
FourSquare, Google Places, Yelp, and Facebook
Places have quickly gained in popularity as
consumers have begun using their Smartphones
more and more while on the go.
56. Mobile Marketing Seminar

60. Future Mobile Marketing Seminar
The constantly evolving market includes
technologies far beyond just mobile web
browsing and apps.
Some major examples of these technologies are:
• Augmented Reality
•Mobile Payments
• Near Field Communication (NFC)
• Bluetooth Proximity and WiFi
• iBeacon
61. Mobile Future Marketing Seminar
A cutting-edge technology that creates a
digitally enhanced view of the real world.
Uses the camera and sensors in a
smartphone or tablet and adds layers of
digital information – videos, photos, sounds –
directly on top of items in the world around us.

Future
Despite a concern for private information security,
direct ecommerce through mobile phones is
growing among users.
65. Mobile Marketing Seminar
Future
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless
technology that allows devices to communicate
with each other over short distances.
66. Mobile Future Marketing Seminar
Bluetooth Proximity and
Wifi is another wireless
technology that allows
devices to talk to each
other, but is used over
long distances.
67. Involves setting up Bluetooth "broadcasting" equipment at a
particular location and then sending information which can be text,
images, audio or video to Bluetooth enabled devices within range of
the broadcast server. Other standard data exchange formats such as
Vcard can also be used.
One barrier to consumer receptiveness to NFC campaigns is that
consumers have to initiate the communication by tapping their phone
to the NFC chip in the poster or sign. They also have to figure out
that they have the ability to tap for more information.
In contrast, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-based proximity marketing
campaigns use a technology that is already standard on nearly all
handsets to deliver an opt-in message directly to the device that
consumers already use for most of their communications on the go.
Consumers aren't required to initiate the transmission: A well-designed
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi campaign sends a message to all consumers
who come within range, which can be as far away as 300 feet.
68. Mobile Future Marketing Seminar
iBeacon
Apple's implementation of Bluetooth low-energy (BLE)
wireless technology creates a different way of providing
location-based information and services to iPhones and
other iOS devices. Also works with Android 4.3 and later.
69. The beacons themselves are small, cheap Bluetooth transmitters. Apps installed on your
iPhone listen out for the signal transmitted by these beacons and respond accordingly when
the phone comes into range.
For example, if you pass a beacon in a shop, the retailer's app (assuming you have it installed)
could display a special offer alert for you. On a visit to a museum, the museum's app would
provide information about the closest display, using your distance from beacons placed near
exhibits to work out your position. As such iBeacon could be a much better option for in-door
mapping - which GPS struggles with.
The technology could be a big step towards mobile payments, something smartphone makers
have been looking at for a long time without getting it right. Running the technology which
breaks through and becomes the standard is going to be very lucrative. As such iBeacon is not
the only game in town - PayPal is working on its own 'PayPal Beacon' technology - expected
next year - which will allow shoppers to 'check-in' and pay for goods from the PayPal account
on their phone.
Depending on how iBeacon evolves and is adopted it could form an important part of Apple's
ecommerce and mobile payments effort. For example, the combination of iBeacon and
Passbook could allow you to get sent a coupon while in a store and buy something without
ever seeing a member of staff. Equally, shoppers may find the whole thing slightly unnerving
and ignore it altogether.

Think of it as fishing with chum. Unique, valuable and engaging content is that bait. Content marketing will drive quality web traffic like chum bring fish to the boat, but premium content is stuff with hooks that they can’t get enough of, if the presentation is right.
Great chum can be:
Blogging
Article Writing
Web Page Content
Social Media Content
Online Press Releases
Info-graphics
Roy Schneider
Premium Content is the hook.
The goal of inbound marketing would be to first GET FOUND by the right people. Then you answer their questions, solve their problems, and offer up some valuable information that helps them in some way. This creates an emotional bond that strengthens your brand in their heart and will result in repeat customers due to brand loyalty. Then you offer even more relevant and valuable content for FREE via download as Premium Content.
Premium Content is typically PDFs such as:
Case Studies
White Papers
Executive Briefs
eBooks
Lists
Guides
In return for the premium content, they will exchange much more than just contact information. People are much more willing to answer qualifying questions when they are getting something of value in return. So in this case, we use landing pages with advanced forms linked to marketing automation software. Once the form is completed, the prospect gets the premium content, your CRM is notified of the Lead, and the nurturing process begins followed by deal closure and re-marketing.
Paid results on mobile search results pages take up a significant portion of screen real estate, and therefore lead to significantly higher click-through-rates (CTR) on mobile devices vs. desktop computers. Depending on your target market, the easiest way to launch mobile Pay-per-Click (PPC) is through dedicated campaigns targeting mobile users. Mobile PPC ads also have specific extensions that make the ad more engaging and useful for the mobile user after they have completed their search query.
MAKE IT LOCAL
Consumers look for local info on their phones all the time—from locating the nearest gas station to finding an open pizza place. Include functionality that helps people find and get to you.
Have your address or store locator on the landing page.
Include maps and directions. Use GPS to personalize when possible.
Allow users to check stock at nearby stores.
Ensuring visibility on these sites can help send additional visitors to your site. With mobile search and these sites being mobile in nature, a Google Place page or Yelp listing for example has a better chance of ranking higher in mobile search results. Properly optimized and engaged listings (i.e. lots of positive reviews) helps businesses stand out more in dedicated apps as well.
Right now, the most popular services typically include Google Places, Yelp, Facebook and Foursquare. Google and Yelp are great for general business listings and reviews while Facebook and Foursquare are more popular with “check-ins” for brick & mortar stores.
We are different. We understand that mobile marketing is not a one size fits all solution. Your customers are unique and we will help you build a unique strategy for them. We don’t just give you the ability to build a database and send group text messages.
