The popularity of mobile marketing is skyrocketing as more people use their smartphones and tablets for their everyday activities. If you look around while out in public, you will see scores of people with their eyes glued to their phones.

Since 2007, the number of mobile users has risen from 400 million to 1.8 billion. Mobile marketing can have enormous benefits for the companies that use it effectively.

There are a number of things a company must consider when planning their mobile marketing strategies. It is important to use analytics to uncover how the company’s target audience is using their mobile devices.

Analytics can help the company see whether their target audience is using Android or iOS and what devices they are using. Providing this data to the IT gurus building your mobile website or app can help them prioritize development plans and use the right prototyping and development tools.

Many companies do not need to create a mobile app to keep their customers engaged. A mobile friendly website can provide similar results without the cost and time needed to create a new app. However, there is more flexibility with a mobile app as there are more opportunity for creativity and customized interactions with current and potential customers.

If the company wants to get its mobile marketing content on Apple devices, it is important to learn about App Store optimization. Understanding App Store optimization is key to gaining and maintaining traction in the App Store, ensuring that your app is seen by the right audiences.

Some companies choose to use in-app marketing on popular mobile apps to spread the word about new products and services. This allows the company to quickly distribute the information to a wide range of consumers that might be interested in what they have to offer.

Mobile social media platforms are another good way to distribute mobile marketing effectively. Social media platforms offers interested consumers immediate access to download your app or go to your mobile-friendly website.

The company should also review the mobile marketing offerings of its competitors to see what is already in the market and what can be improved upon for its own mobile marketing strategy. This could give the company an edge on its competitors in its target market.
