Mobile marketing — one of the most powerful marketing techniques … So what do you need to know to get started with mobile marketing?
In today’s mobile-first world, brands are on the hook to provide great mobile experiences. But also start-ups and small businesses can connect with people through their personal devices. And hence, to stay current with peoples’ habits. You should know that you don’t have to develop your bespoke mobile app. If people own a mobile phone, they likely have and use a mobile wallet. To engage your customers, you can offer them your branded digital content for their mobile wallets such as Apple Wallet or Google Pay. This mobile wallet digital content is a digital substitute for anything you could print on a small piece of paper or plastic.
And it offers much more while saving a lot of time and money for you. It is interactive and allows you for sending push notifications with your deals, promotions, and discounts, or exclusive content directly to the lock screen of your customers. It also can be offered on the lock screen of the mobile phone by the mobile wallet upon arriving at pre-defined places together with location-specific messages. This would allow your customers to access exclusive offers based on their location, or just tap to show, scan or redeem.
If reading the above lines made you interested in trying push notifications for your small business, 2021 is the year to get started. Here are a few simple actions you can take to jump on the mobile marketing bandwagon.
