Mobile marketing is an important way of getting your business out into the community. It allows your business to reach out to potential customers while putting a face (and hopefully a smile) in association with that name and logo. Most businesses send their advertisements out into the world and then expect people to start flocking in through their doors. But meeting potential patrons, face-to-face, begins a relationship, which is much more effective. Traditional advertising is a one-way conversation, and consumers are tired of being "talked to", but mobile marketing starts a two-way conversation.
The essential ingredient behind mobile marketing is the ability to take marketing and any other outdoor advertisement directly into the path of your community, increasing the visibility of your company. Making your business visible is half of any advertising battle.
Where are the people?
If mobile marketing means starting a conversation with people, where does a business go to find those potential customers? Where are the opportunities and space to display your business and start conversations? Here are some places to start:
Marathons and Benefit Walks
Potential customers that you will meet at events such as these are there because they believe in a cause and have a passion. Any outdoor advertisement at these events should also be reflected and promoted in your place of business don't be afraid to become a part of the cause. And instead of just using the event to promote your business, why not offer a favor in return? Turn your outdoor advertisement canopy into a water booth or first aid station.
Farmer's Markets and Flea Markets
This is a great spot for an outdoor advertisement and mobile marketing campaign as people who attend these events are coming with the expectation of purchasing goods. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase your company's goods (or services) with a canopy in a place where people are already expecting to spend money. It also allows customers who may have been debating about whether or not to take the time to walk into your place of business, to interact with your company and form the foundation of a professional relationship without going out of their way.
Trade Shows
This is another event that provides a perfect opportunity to set up you mobile marketing products under a canopy, taking those products to the people. This is another even where those who show up are in search of finding ways to meet their needs, enjoy their hobby, or learn about a product. Take your business and product to them, someone there will have a need that your company can meet.
The Best Type of Outdoor Advertisement: Sale Tent
To be at these events for the sake of promoting your business, you need some form of portable outdoor advertisement. The most common option is to use a custom sale tent. A sale tent is a mobile showroom floor. Your sale tent will be an extension of your place of business, a way to showcase your products while protecting your employees and your goods that are for sale.
