MOBILE MARKETING: POTENTIAL AND CLIENTELE
One in four respondents in the 2007 survey expressed
interest in mobile marketing. The number of consumers
who have experienced mobile marketing continues to
grow, with highest participation noticed among
respondents in the age group of 25-44.
Why this interest?
Because they are getting something in return (The Indian mentality)
E.g.: Greystripe(mobile ad network) and gamejump.com: can
download game free, just need to view an ad b4 and one after
the game.
Typically it is older users (35-49) who are the biggest
spenders when it comes to purchasing handsets or using

LEVERAGE STRENGTHS; BUILD NEW STRENGTHS
Leverage on our strength: SMS;
while continually strengthening/innovating in Mobile
Internet
Media and Ads go hand in hand. Service providers
can make money through ads, while providing
incentives to end users
Huge rural base: it’s a low value, large volume game

“Imagination is more important than
knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we
now know and understand, while
imagination embraces the entire world, and
all there ever will be to know and
understand.” : Albert Einstein
