Purchasing reasons on a mobile phone aren't always the same as on a computer. Choose products that are conducive to mobile phones because currently many products purchases are billed to mobile phone bills. 2. Selecting the wrong audience. Not everyone is a costumer for your product. Remember mobile marketing is a world-wide endeavor. Choose products that are "country" appropriate. 3. Ignoring buying capability. Choose the right brand of phone to market to. Statistics show that iPhone users and specifically men are the most likely buyers on mobile phones. 4. Ignoring mobile platforms. Mobile phone platforms are critical to success. As time marches forward many of the platform features will become standard but until such a time consider what the user will see on his or her iPhone, blackberry, android etc before you send to any of them. 5. Ignoring the back yard. Local marketing is huge and getting even bigger. It's wise to explore the use of an app and how to promote it to local restaurants, doctors, furniture stores, pizza places and the like.
