More Great Ways to Use Mobile Marketing
For the last few weeks, we’ve talked about some ingenious ways to use mobile marketing, whether you are a growing business, a non-profit, or an organization. Here are some more you may not have thought of. (Read Part 1 and Part 2 of this series.)
Grocery Stores
Businesses like grocery stores that spend lots of money each month on print advertising, publishing specials in newspapers and circulars, can save thousands of dollars a month by converting their efforts to mobile marketing. Who wouldn’t rather have the information on latest deals right at their fingertips anyway? Good for everyone’s pocketbook and good for the environment to boot!
Airlines
Everyone has probably had the experience of rushing to the airport to make a flight only to find out that the flight has been delayed, sometimes for hours. Airlines are starting to use mobile marketing to get the word out about delays and cancellations. This is great, since if you find out on the way to the airport that your flight has been delayed, you can stop off for a bite to eat. (Heaven knows they have no plans to feed you on the plane.)
Gas Stations
Don’t you hate it when gas prices go up? Ever wish you had a crystal ball so you could fill up your tank and cash in on the lower price? One gas station in St. Paul, MN is giving its customers the equivalent of a crystal ball by sending them text messages before gas prices are scheduled to go up. This results in more business for them and more savings for their customers.
Youth Activities
If you have kids and your kids are involved in any kind of extracurricular activity, you know how crazy it can be to try to keep track of everyone’s different schedules. Some coaches and youth sports organizations have started sending text messages to keep everyone on the same page. This also comes in handy for cancellations and special events. Never miss an important game again!
