Benefits of mobile marketing

1. It is more affordable than other forms of advertising - just a normal
text message fee.

2. You can reach out to people anywhere. You are not limited to your
physical area, but to wherever the mobile phone is you are trying to reach.

3. The response rate is higher than with a flyer or classified advertising.

4. The mobile device is a personal item belonging to only one person. You
can, therefore, target your marketing more precisely to that person or a
group of people like him.

5. The mobile device has joined the wallet and keys as something you always
take with you. This means that you can reach your customer anywhere, at any
time and that they will read your message almost instantly and act on it.

6. It is easy to pay from a mobile device as payment processors are built
into them.

7. You can track the payments back to the mobile number which means you can
create a profile of your customer and his buying preferences.

8. You can accurately measure the success rate of your advertising as a
result of being able to track sales.

9. The mobile is highly interactive because your customer can text back to
you with questions he may have.

10. Wow factor - because mobile marketing is fairly new, most customers have
yet to experience it. This makes you and your messages stand out.

11. Your customer can easily share his messages with others, which gives
your advertisements the potential to go viral.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...

What Are QR codes?

What Are QR codes? They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone's t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet. The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can sca...
