Mobile marketing

Mobile marketing gathers all the marketing techniques using mobile to communicate. At first, mobile marketing used mainly text messages to communicate with the target, we used to talk about different SMS campaigns:
– Pull campaign: it consists in encouraging the prospect to send a text message to the company to, for instance, receive a promotion or participate to a game contest. Thus, the message is sent from the prospect to the company (Pull) that can therefore improve its database.
– Push campaign: the company sends text messages to prospects’ mobiles (Push) in order to encourage them to visit the store or make a purchase.
– Push & Pull campaign: the company sends text messages (Push) to prospects but is waiting for an answer form them (Pull).

 

Evolution of the mobile market

However, thanks to developments in mobile technologies (smartphones, 4G, etc.), mobile marketing has gone from strength to strength in recent years and it is now possible to realise visual advertising through MMS, mobile applications and games including ads. It is also possible to send messages thanks to geo­tracking when the person is near your store, it is the iBeacon technology, used on the Gallerie’s Night app for instance.
