I have employed this for a national client and I would recommend you hold off. Its still very expensive and the volume is not there. Targeting is not where is should be yet. And reverse to what you hear - many large advertisers are not using mobile. People are still scared and don't know how to effectively use it. There is one low-grade efficient way to use mobile - Google Mobile. You can have a sponsored link in appear on mobile phones if you have an adwords account. Its fetching cheap and you pay per click.

Poll: How effective has mobile marketing been for you>?

Mobile marketing is the procedure of using an application to set up campaigns based on demographics of customers. Sending out promotional, viral and event text messages to the appropriate people.


mobile marketing is set to be the next big id- it is more effective than any other type of marketing because it is so personal, ie if you receive a text message, you are bound to interpret it, even if just out of curiosity. However, it is only effective (and legal) if you have opted in to receive these messages (otherwise it is spam). This system is currently being tried out in shopping centres- ponder walking past a store and receiving a text message informing you of a celebratory offer. Marketing doesn't get any better than that!

I'd use Cellyspace if I were you. It is leisurely to use: just upload the pictures you want to use, add text and create a name for the MMS. You can then place that name everywhere and anywhere. Then the interested consumer can text 'MYCAR' to 33563 and get a cool slide show. It sure makes a forthright classified ad amazing. You gotta try CELLYSPACE
