Mobile Marketing: On the RiseIsn’t it time your business took advantage of mobile marketing?

Consider...

Two thirds of mobile phone users are “active users of SMS text messaging.” That translates to 1.8 billion people.1

Text messages are typically read within an average of 15 minutes after receipt and responded to within 60 minutes.1

In August 2007, nearly 40 million US consumers received text message advertisements, and 12 percent responded to them.2

By 2011, most brands are expected to spend between 5% and 25% of their marketing budget on mobile marketing.3

Text Messaging

SMS… What is it?Phone number as address

PhilosophyConversationalNon-invasiveImmediate

What does it cost?Standard Rates ApplyPremium Messaging

Mobile Marketing Sending marketing messages to a mobile device

using either SMS, MMS, or other protocols. Business to Consumer (B2C) or Business to

Business (B2B). Does not replace email marketing. More personal than email. Must be 100% opt-in. Focused audience, focused message. Create a sense of urgency with your customers

and prospects. Mobile messages have very short shelf lives, but they get attention right away.

Short Codes and Keywords Short codes are simply shortened phone

numbers that make sending SMS messages from mobile phones easier.

Dedicated Short CodesVery expensive, long lead time.

Shared Short CodesInexpensive, quickPaired with keyword (Text: Keyword To: Shortcode)Customized and branded for you.

Benefits of Mobile Marketing The right message…

SMS messages are short, forcing you to be clear and concise. Build customer trust and intimacy by alternating information and sales offers.

At the right time… Reach prospects and customers at the point in time that is most relevant to your

offer, particularly if you time your offers to when your customers are most likely to buy – for instance a tee time offer over the weekend or a merchandise offer during a tournament.

No matter where your customer is… In most cases, mobile phone users have their phones with them virtually full-time

and this expands the contact window considerably over other marketing methods.

In a fresh new way…Since such a high percentage of email is spam, many customers are now

ignoring email messages. Less than 10% of mobile messages are spam and that means it’s much more likely that your SMS message will be read.

Before You Get Started Plan ahead…

Develop the promotion plan you will use to build your list. Mobile marketing is strictly opt-in. You cannot purchase mobile phone number lists. Sending

messages to phone numbers that have not opted-in to your promotion is against industry guidelines and you risk customer backlash and legal action.

Instead, you will need to build a plan to promote your mobile list.

Develop your offer…To achieve a high opt-in rate, you need an offer that is particularly

meaningful to your target audience. Mobile marketing offers have to be customer benefit-driven. Some popular mobile marketing offers for golf are:

Free offers – Monthly lottery of golf, merchandise, food, etc… Coupons – Discounts on merchandise, greens fees, etc… Information – Frost delays, hole-in-one announcements, etc..

Getting Started Promote your offer…

Make your customers aware of your mobile marketing channels. Here are a few ways that work…

Email marketing: Promotion of your mobile marketing program can be especially effective via email marketing. Use your email list to promote your mobile marketing efforts and encourage your customer to opt-in.

In-Venue: Mobile marketing can be promoted while customers are on-site. Verbal information and instructions are very effective. Printed information and instructions are helpful. Consider displaying in pro shop, printed on receipts or marketing materials, or on course signage.

On your website: Use a widget or web form to allow customer to subscribe to your mobile marketing campaign. The widget should appear on high traffic areas such as your homepage and again on your purchase confirmation page, for instance.

Easy Web Integration Example placement of web widgets…

The Goal An Integrated Marketing Plan…

Mobile marketing programs don’t work in a standalone environment. Your mobile marketing programs must be communicated via other marketing channels, and mobile marketing is best used as part of an integrated marketing campaign.

Each has its own strengths… Mobile – Fast, focused, and fresh Email – Tried and true, rich media Print – Regional reach, focused readership Radio – Broad reach, endorsements by radio DJs TV – Very professional, rich media

Measuring Success Measure, measure, measure…

As with any marketing technique that you are using, you should focus on measuring its effectiveness.

While mobile marketing reporting is not as robust as email reporting, you can still gather important information that will help you determine ROI and to drive decisions about future programs. These include:

Overall response by keyword or short code to track how your promotional media worked.

Response to campaigns – Encourage customers to show their text message to take advantage of your offer.
