Getting Ready to Mobile

There are far more mobile devices than PCs In Europe alone, there are four times more handsets than PCs In some countries, there are more handsets than people

Mobile lets you reach people all across the world Many of whom may never own a PC Its not just in the U.S., its global

The vast potential of the mobile web is due to the way people think about and use their mobile devices They are always on They are always at hand They are always personal They are rarely shared

No other marketing medium can say any of these things, much less all of the above

The Power of Mobile Marketing

Mobile web is a powerful new medium for achieving all sorts of marketing goals, including: Reaching new audiences who may never visit a PC website or spend

hours in front of a TV

Deepening relationships by finding new ways to reach customers and new ways to inform or entertain them

Delivering new services including things you can only do (or would only want to do) on a mobile

Demonstrating your brand values: mobile campaigns say youre young, innovative and customer-oriented

Tying in with wider campaigns: completing your integrated campaigns Selling stuff: as mobile transactions skyrocket, theres plenty of

potential to make the sale right from the handset

In short, theres not a lot you cant do with a mobile website and mobile campaigns

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

Mistake 1: Treating Mobile Users Like PC Users Mobile users dont want to navigate many levels of your website

Think about the kinds of things you want to do when you are out and about

You want fast access to relevant information You want services that recognize youre on the move You want location-aware, activity-specific experiences

Limit choices. Take the content thats relevant to a mobile user and discard the rest

Mistake 2: Ignoring Limitations of the Mobile Device Dont treat the mobile device like a desktop PC there are limitations

that marketers need to keep in mind The screen is smaller - a fraction of the screen size of a PC Theres no mouse - moving up/down is fine, but navigating a screen is no

fun

Theres no printer - so dont ask people to print things out The keyboard is limited - keep the typing to a minimum Bandwidth may be restricted - keep pages, images and file sizes small Megabytes sometimes cost money

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

Mistake 3: Failing to Exploit the Device Capabilities A mobile device can do things that PCs cant do

Phoneinvite a call (and make it a link) Camera...let customers send you their photos or enter picture contests Video camerashort films that tie into your brand, campaign themes or

values

Text messages...ask for short bits of feedback, input, votes, polls, opinions, blurbs and blog posts or let them easily share your content with friends

Location-aware...make special offers when users are nearby; lead them to the nearest shop; trigger instant, location-specific offer

Micropayment device...there are many ways to make the mobile complete the transaction on the spot

Send email...help people alert friends and share their new mobile experiences

Music player...share a tune, a podcast or a ringtone Video player...show a trailer, promo or full commercial Calendar...so people can mark that date right away, before they forget Browser...so your mobile campaigns can link to proper mobile websites

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

Mistake 4: Using a .com Name for a .mobi Experience Your URL says a lot about your mobile website. If you use one of the dozens of variations of .com (like

xyz.com/mobile or m.brand.com), youre sending a message to your audience before they even visit the site: youre saying dotcom thinking practiced here.

A .mobi name says this site was designed from the ground up as a mobile experience.

Mistake 5: Using Frames and Other Bad Habits Frames dont work well in mobile design because most devices dont

support them, and they cause usability problems

Think portrait, not landscape Use a single column with text thats left justified. Use a second-level domain name like yourbrand.mobi - there are

fewer characters to type so users get to you faster

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

Mistake 6: Failing to Test the Site for Mobile Readiness Manually check your site in the real world Use an automated checking tool that combs over every line of code

Mistake 7: Hiding Your Mobile Web Site Make your site searchable

You wont get an entry in the search engines for m., mobile., wap but you do get one for .mobi your mobile home page

Make your site guessable When customers dont know they guess yourbrand.com and when looking

for your mobile website, they guess yourbrand.mobi

YourBrand.mobi is the most guessable name for mobile sites Its also a Trustmark for quality and usability

10 Mistakes in Mobile Marketing

Mistake 8: Not Actively Promoting Your Mobile Site Many great mobile sites are largely under-promoted Your customers are closer to their mobile device than to a PC The more you promote the mobile experience, the more people will

turn to it

People can only spend time on your site if they know it exists!

Mistake 9: Running Mobile Campaigns Without a .mobi Presence Successful mobile marketing means building a dynamic .mobi and

running campaigns that link to it

SMS campaigns and banner ads on mobile sites should have a click-thr
