Hi Conry, to answer your question...as an advertiser you have to think your marketing plan through. What is it you want customers to do when they come through your door? Have you offered a coupon that gives them a discount? Are you giving a way something free in exchange for demographics like email, names and addresses? It's up to you to think your marketing plan in reverse when you first create it. Start with the end result, and then work back towards the beginning. That way you can get the desired effect and benefit from mobile marketing. Thanks for commenting.
