Mobile Marketing-Connecting with Consumers-Krista Neher
Mobile marketing apps can target customers in ways that print and other media never could. Mobile devices are almost always with the consumer who owns them and give a better,more focused interface by which to target and track activity. Integrating mobile into the overall marketing strategy can boost business and create buzz among mobile device users, which also migrates to other platforms. One estimate is that within two years, 40% of internet access will happen from mobile devices. Effective advertising on mobile devices is constantly changing, just as the mobile devices are. Opportunities for marketing include display ads and apps, which offer click through links and app utility. Mobile commerce is still developing and is dependent on the evolution of smartphone technology. Apps are not always for actual sales online, but also for coming up with something creative that drives brand awareness.
The App Store: Apps & Trends – Bob Babcock
Yes...there is an app for that. And if there isn't, just wait a few weeks. With exponential growth and currently over 160,000 apps available, the iPhone app store has a mind boggling array of apps for every imaginable service, game, resource and more. On an average day, about 800 apps come out, including books, multiple iterations of one app and new unique offerings. Its a real challenge for new developers to set themselves apart. If you can create a marketable app, there is a considerable opportunity for creating a revenue stream from its sales. Even free apps can make money through advertising networks like Ad Mob. One amusing note - as in other areas of marketing, one can never go wrong underestimating the taste and maturity of the user audience. Example: The day after Christmas, with new iPhones and iTunes gift cards in hand, people purchase iPhone apps at record pace. The most popular app downloaded on Dec. 26? Drum roll, please--iFart. 'Nuff said.
