Try not to add files to your message. If possible, you should only include a link. Adding large files, like pictures, to a message will only frustrate the customer, because you are adding to the download time. Also, you may be costing them extra money just to be able to view what you have sent.

Let your customers opt out. It is understandable that you want to keep all your contacts, but you have to give your prospective customers a way to stop receiving your texts. Give opt out instructions at the end of your texts or provide a link they can click on to stop future messages. This simple step can help to build respect for your business.

Do not send out offers by text too frequently. If you send them out too often, customers will not have the incentive to take up your offer because they know there will another one coming soon. You want to make your offer special so that customers will feel like they cannot miss a good deal which might not come again any time soon.

Include a link to your website at the end of your message. You should develop a mobile version of your website that people can easily navigate from a cell phone or tablet. If you do not have a mobile website, most users will still be able to access your regular website on their phones.

Focus on using mobile marketing especially for customer retention. If people have already purchased from you, they are more likely to welcome mobile communication from you if they are pleased with your product. Try to reach new prospects, but never lose sight of the opportunity you have with people who are your customers already.

Keep messages short. Remember, in this fast paced world that cellphones are now a part of, shorter is better. It takes less time to read a direct, short message than it does to read a lengthy appeal for business. Keep your communication direct and concise so that people actually read what you send them.

Integrate all of your social platforms with any location-based accounts that you have. Connect your website, blog, Twitter and Facebook URLs with your location-based pages as soon as possible. All platforms, including your mobile-marketing one, should have a consistent representation of your brand, or you risk confusing your customer base.

A great mobile marketing campaign is to have a QR code on physical advertising, like a bus shelter poster or newspaper ad, and then give the reader a coupon in return for accessing your information. This will give your brand value to the mobile user and they’ll be more inclined to try your QR codes in the future.

Set up a poll for your marketing campaign. Polls can be set up as a question-response format or a response message. Polls are an excellent source to use to get the options of your customers to your products. Always check with your mobile provider to make sure they can support real-time results for your polls.

Apply these tips to you marketing plan and you are sure to see positive responses from your customers. Be sure to take the time to plan your next move before doing anything to avoid making the mistakes that can cause you to lose customers that are already on your list.
