Local Mobile Marketing - Do you really want ads on your smartphone
?
Do you have a cell phone or a smart phone? You probably answered yes to that question. Instead of just making simple and plain phone calls with your phone now you are basically walking around with a little computer. Phones can do all kinds of stuff now from searching the internet to watching movies or playing video games. They really are small computers that you keep with you all the time.
Just like with any new technology you know that eventually business and marketing people are going to get around to learning how they can leverage and use the new technology to sell you something. The new arena is local mobile marketing.
Have you ever been getting ready to eat your dinner only to hear your phone ringing and find that its a telemarketer? With each new technology breakthrough you will have new ways for somebody trying to sell something. There was a time when web pages didn't have any ads, just pure content. But deep down do you really like some of the ads that you see? We all have to buy stuff.
We might not admit it but sometimes we want to get information on new sales that can save us some money. We want to know what the latest and greatest new tech toys are. We want to watch some of the crazy commercials during the superbowl.
Now with new mobile devices we are going to have a way to communicate and get the access to deals that we want to know about. We see a lot of ads and probably just ignore most of them. But when we get information that we are interested in then its not an ad but learning information that we care about. Mobile phones and smart phones are new and now you are going to start seeing ads moving to the moble platforms.
If you are a frequent customer of a local pizza place would you like to be notified about a deal that you could use to save money? New technology is going to make it easy for you to take advantage of deals. More companies are going to start getting on board with this new area of marketing. As more and more people upgrade their phones to smartphones new opportunities for mobile marketing are going to become clear. Nobody wants to be flooded with a bunch of spammy ads on their phones with info that they have no interest in. But if you have favorite places that you really like you probably want to know if they are having special sales.
