“In 10 years we have seen the internet go from a slow, stationary, information vending machine to a fast, mobile, communications appliance that fits in your pocket…If your organization’s information is not available on a small screen, it’s not available at all to people who rely on their mobile phones for access. ”

Lack of knowledge around breadth of mobile marketing solutions
Paying someone for a tactical, off-the-shelf solution for one audience segment
Pressure to do something in mobile – internal, consumer, press

What’s needed?...

Mobile is the vehicle, not the message
• Brand should be the message - the communication vehicle is the mobile device
• Mobile Marketing can most effectively connect brands with consumers when consumers don’t have to make technology decisions
• Mobile campaigns should be about a conversation with the brand, not alienating consumers that don’t own a specific device or technology

Engage the consumer in the way they choose

Your plan must be comprehensive and fully thought-out. Not just a one-off deal, such as slapping a QR code on a single display or package.
Rules of Mobile Marketing
Strategic Planning is crucial. Mobile can’t be afterthought that gets tacked on at the end of the planning stage.
Don’t expect it to differentiate your brand. Mobile needs to provide value.
Focus on the audience, not the tool.Identify the consumer first, then determine the tools and methods for reaching them.
Copyright 2011 Augme Technologies Inc.24
Assess your brand’s role realistically.Ask yourself this: Does my brand actually need a mobile marketing component, such as an app? The answer won’t always be “yes.”
Rules of Mobile Marketing (con’t)
Keep it simple. Forcing customers to download an app or upload a photo keeps the mobile experience from being what it should be: fast and easy.
Pull smartly, push gently.Just because mobile users are always “available” doesn’t mean they should be contacted relentlessly. Be thoughtful: let the consumer decide when and how to use your mobile assets.
Promote your effortsLaunching a QR campaign or a new shopping app into the market itself requires promotion – something that is often overlooked when it comes to mobile advertising.
