Synopsis
This book is for local business owners who want more customers. Mobile Marketing Guide For Local Businesses reveals proven marketing strategies to acquire new customers who live in the new mobile economy. Your customers are mobile and their mobile phones are their connection to your business. Seventy-six percent of your customers use their mobile phones to go online and check reviews about your business, compare prices on the products you sell, and contact you or locate your place of business. Currently there is a huge chasm between mobile consumers and local businesses. 95% of consumers have mobile phones and want to access information about your business on their phone, but only 2% of local businesses provide them a means of doing so. This presents a huge opportunity for any local business that decides to cater to the mobile market. To put it differently, only 2% of local businesses are going after 95% of the market. A mobile customer is five times more likely to buy when they are mobile, rather than sitting behind a desk at the office, or sitting in front of the TV or computer at home. This presents a huge opportunity for you to gain market share and generate more income. This book guides you though the unfamiliar territory of mobile marketing, and shows you how to reach the mobile marketplace. It lays out the foundation of every mobile marketing plan, and then builds on that foundation with multiple proven strategies to acquire new customers and to get old customers to return to your business and spend more money. Think of it this way: mobile is the new economy that leads to more customers, more repeat business, more sales, more revenue, and more profits. What are you doing to capture the mobile consumer? It doesn’t matter if you own a law firm, a dental practice, a hair salon, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a plumbing business, or a landscaping business, this book is for you. This book is for any business that wants more customers. It is also for any business that wants more revenue from their current customers. If that describes you, then you need to read this book and learn how to tap into the new mobile economy.
