Everywhere you look these days people are either talking on their cell phones, checking email, browsing the internet, or sending text messages.

The other day a business owner asked me how to reach potential customers where they are. How does she know where to find them? People are everywhere, right? So meet them right where they are on their cell phones!

Mobile marketing in Denver is exploding and I would guess that it is the fastest growing marketing medium" maybe next to videos on YouTube and Facebook Ads. The unlimited text message plans offered by cell phone carriers make it very easy for your customers and potential customers to chat with their friends, co-workers, associates, business partners, and yes, they just might be receiving text messages from YOUR competitors!

Mobile marketing or text message marketing can boost your sales on a slow day.

Seven Examples of How you Can Use Mobile Marketing

  1. Boost sales on a slow day send a message for a buy 1, get 1 free offer that ends when your store closes THAT day

  2. Send a welcome warning let your customers know that a product is just about out of stock and if they want it, they better come in ASAP

  3. Be the first to know about a new product Text your customers/prospects when a new product, service, stock, car, or home is for sale

  4. Increase attendance at an event offer a special discount or freebie to anyone who comes in and SHOWS you the secret code on their cell phone (the secret code you texted!)

  5. VIP treatment use your text message marketing to offer VIP specials, freebies and advance notifications that no one anywhere else will receive

  6. Weekly motivations send a tip for the week to your mobile marketing audience, or maybe you prefer to send a message every weekday a helpful reminder, positive quote, healthy eating tip, shopping tip, etc the sky's the limit on the type of tips or motivations you can send

  7. Invite them to stalk you keep your followers in the loop about where you are speaking, showcasing, vending, etc. so they can come along

Who Can Take Advantage of This Instant Marketing Advantage?

  • Retail shops (sales, promos, events, exclusive offers, etc.)

  • Restaurants (daily specials, happy hour, special events, etc.)

  • Bands and Entertainers (new album announcements, concert updates, contests, etc.)

  • Realtors (open houses, new homes for sale, property owner tips, etc.)

  • Auto Dealerships (new vehicles announcements, promotions, closeouts, etc.)

  • Network Marketers/Direct Sellers (new product announcements, promotions, product tips, special events, etc.)

  • Coaches/Consultants (motivational quotes, handy tips, special reminders, promotions, etc.)

  • Service Providers [Massage, Spa, Carpet Cleaners, Painters, Hair Salons, Gyms, Chiropractors, Photographers, etc.] (special event announcements/reminders, specials and promos, tips, etc.)

  • Non-profit Organizations (fundraiser announcements, event reminders, tips and encouragements, etc.)

Here are a couple of examples of how certain businesses might use mobile marketing to increase their sales:

Scott is the proud owner of a carpet cleaning business in Denver. Sales are good, but they are slow times. Scott immediately gets the advantage of mobile marketing because he knows his competitors aren't doing it they aren't even doing email campaigns! So Scott sits down with Kody at Go Figure Marketing and creates a Mobile Marketing Plan. He signs up for a basic Plan to get started ($0 setup and $20/month) which gives him UNLIMITED messages a month. He sends one message per week and always on a Tuesday. Sometimes his special offer is 10% off, sometimes 20% off, but before holidays he sends a reminder to get the carpets cleaned before family visits and provides a discount code to save 20%.

Emily is a personal trainer in Denver. She knows that her clients often forget to stretch, drink enough water and take their supplements so she sends weekday health tips to her clients. They love it because it helps keep them on track even if they don't see Emily for a month. Emily became a personal trainer to improve the health, fitness and overall wellness of her clients and Mobile Marketing takes her dedication to her clients to the next level. She also has an email campaign set up that supports the quick tips she sends via text message. Emily signed up for the Basic Plan so she could better support her clients health and wellness which gives her unlimited messages ($0 setup and $20/month).

Mobile Marketing is the next best thing for entrepreneurs of all types because it enables you to send short targeted messages to the exact people who want them after all they made the effort to opt in in the first place. And hey, there are no spam complaints because there is a short opt-in process and cell phone owners must send a text message from their own phone and confirm that they want to receive the messages before they will receive any of your offers. This is a fantastic process that protects the mobile marketer.
