This concern of companies to incorporate the mobile device in their customer acquisition strategies has meant that spending on digital advertising is surpassing traditional advertising.

Because the mobile is no longer that unknown of yesteryear but has already reached its maturity, which means that users are already prepared to face, see, suffer and why not even buy through mobile marketing campaigns.

The most important thing for companies is not to reach as many people as possible through mobile marketing, but to reach exclusively their target audience.

For this reason, the telephone has become the perfect vehicle for launching more personalized mobile marketing campaigns focused on the user and their specific tastes and needs.

So if you are thinking of entering the world of mobile marketing, I am happy to tell you that you have an open field with a lot of business potential.

7 mobile marketing actions that you should start doing right now

1. Optimize your website before doing a mobile marketing campaign

It is true that smartphones and tablets are used more and more, but they are also used in short periods of time, so I recommend that you:

  • Knowing how limited patience is, the loading time of the contents of your web page is important. The lower the better, otherwise your bounce rate will go up and that’s not a good thing.
  • We also know that users do not read the same thing if they do it from the mobile device, therefore, the content must be direct and simple. Your mobile marketing strategy should go straight to the point.
  • Link your website to social networks to avoid the user having to fill out long and cumbersome forms. And remember not to make them complex because it is complex to fill them from a mobile device.
  • And lastly, always use a Responsive design. You must adapt your content to mobile screens, the size of the buttons and font is very important so that your web page does not become a complicated task for the user.

If you do not carry out any of these actions, it is likely that users will leave your website in less than 5 seconds, so your entire mobile marketing strategy will have been for nothing.

2. Display campaigns for the mobile device

Although mobile phones are increasingly larger, we must take into account the size of mobile advertising, in addition to its brevity and impact. If it is excessively large, it can generate rejection.

In addition, a mobile marketing campaign that requires an excessively large screen display (pop-up type or similar) may be subject to a Google positioning penalty.

Be careful with these issues, if a bad result of your mobile marketing strategies affects web positioning, your website may be affected.

Always take care that your mobile advertising message does not become an object of rejection for your users or cause a bad image of your brand. Avoid using this type of mobile marketing action too much.

3. Mobile applications

Surely more than once you have asked yourself why to create a specific mobile application for your mobile marketing campaigns.

Well, very simple, the apps will allow you to obtain data and information from users, their tastes and preferences, on functionality and usability. Of course, remember to do it legally and in accordance with current regulations.

But the most important thing to keep in mind from this point for your mobile marketing strategies is:

  • It allows you to access it without the need for internet, this is important for those applications that must be used in areas with poor coverage.
  • One-click access. As I’ve told you before, time is money and we users don’t like to spend too much time on mobile applications if they aren’t fast and don’t work properly.
  • Mobile applications have greater customization possibilities, and as you know, the user needs to feel the center of attention.
  • Its cost is much lower.

Finally, you have to bear in mind that there are many mobile applications on the market and many are very similar, so it will be necessary to have adequate promotional tools for your mobile marketing campaigns.

4. Email marketing

One of the main uses that the user gives to his mobile phone is to check his email, therefore, the idea of ​​getting clients through email is attractive.

But BEWARE!… It can turn you into SPAM if you don’t do it right.

If you do not want the message you sent to the user to become spam, keep in mind the following tips:

  • Write an attractive subject, that will make the recipient curious. As you already know, a well-worked subject supposes a very high percentage of openings, which is fantastic for your mobile marketing campaigns.
  • Avoid sending mass email, or that will not only damage the image of your company but also that of your online products.

You may not get a response with the first email, do not be discouraged, try again, but be careful! … the message should never be the same.

And how should you use WhatsApp for your mobile marketing campaigns? Well, nothing is simpler than creating a list or broadcast group with the contacts that you think are appropriate and keeping them informed continuously. Subtle but personalized.

And through which device do users browse their social networks? Exactly the mobile phone. That is why it is very important to adapt social networks to mobile devices.

In addition, advertising on social networks, apart from its simplicity, has a cheaper cost than on any other payment platform such as Google Ads.

So… is there a social network par excellence that allows you to attract customers? … The answer is no, the type of network will depend on your target audience and there you will have to do a good job of research.

Depending on whether your target audience is more or less young, mobile devices may be the best option to reach them, so your mobile marketing strategies should work in this direction.
