Our courage to write about the essentials, the heart, and the connectivity of mobile-enabled devices is found in this book. As you read it, we hope you embrace the subject of Mobile Marketing and discover the passion to make better marketing decisions, better strategic decisions, and better ethical decisions.
People ask, “What is Mobile Marketing, and why is there a book about it?” Our goal is to help people understand that the device in their hand connects them to every other human or business on the planet and that the power of those connections is just starting to be tapped.
But having a device does not give you the tools and experiences to be a good marketer in mobile. There is so much more to discover. The first step is to begin to understand the behavior of the mobile-enabled customer, which we cover in the first section of the book.Throughout the text, the authors offer specific tools and examples that you can use to help learn what is needed to become an effective mobile marketer.
The growth of mobile is based heavily on the trust consumers place in companies when using their devices. In many instances, the disconnect between consumers and brands using the mobile channels is growing. The customer has expectations about their experience on mobile, but brands have not communicated well or provided customer-centered experiences.
How can marketers avoid these disconnects from happening? It’s inevitable, due to today’s environment of an always on, always upgrading and challenging mobile ecosystem that does not always fulfill consumer expectations. But how can you minimize the gap? That is one of our goals here.
This book will show how marketers can minimize the disconnect through customer understanding, campaign design, tools and analysis that will ultimately change their view on using Mobile Marketing. Enjoy!
