Once Upon A Time, Before Google Was Born...

June 14, 2013 by Andrew J. Cass …I’m getting flashbacks of my early days as an Internet Marketer, Pre-Google days, when almost no one really paid much attention to the Internet as a viable media. Then they woke one day and realized their business was in complete shambles, trying to play an uncomfortable game of “catch up”, because they had no Internet strategy. Yet, their best prospects and customers demanded they have one. Many failed. They just fell too far behind. Fast forward to today… Enter “Mobile” Media… A mirror-image scenario of then. Mobile marketing is a brave new world, daring to take businesses where they have never been before. If you don’t have a strategy, chances are you’re going to end up lost in the shuffle or left behind, like many were when the Internet was born. My team and I at RemarkaMobile have compiled the hottest trends currently setting the mobile marketing world on fire right now so that you can navigate it successfully and position in front of it, not behind it. Read closely… #1 – Mobile Ad Spending Is Exploding: This year alone, mobile advertising spending has reached the billion dollar mark – on its way to $2.5 billion by 2014. # 2 – Smartphones Are Taking Over The World: Ok, a little dramatic, yes, but you get the idea. It’s expected that by the end of 2013, smartphone users will reach 100 million+ or approximately 30% of the mobile phone population. By 2015 that number jumps to 43%. #3 – Keeping Up With The iPads: Nearly every cell phone manufacturer has jumped on the tablet bandwagon in an effort to keep up with the popularity of the iPads. I don’t know about you, but I love my iPad and find myself doing more and more with every week. This thing is a workhorse and many think it could even replace the desktop one day. #4 – Mobile-Ready Websites: With the increased need for reaching customers and prospects via mobile phones, web design has been forced to go mobile. New innovations are springing up in an effort to maximize websites for user ease. If your web site is NOT mobile-ready, you’re losing A LOT of visitors that could be converted to leads. #5 – Mobile Meets Social: Americans spend one in every six minutes online in a social networking environment and it’s estimated that by 2015, the mobile social network population will hit 79 million. Much of this takes place on a mobile phone or tablet. Yet, another window of opportunity for marketers to increase their exposure via the power of social media. (My team and I are in the final stages of launching a new division of my company, RemarkaSocial, a completely turn-key, “done-for-you” social media content “feeding system” that will explode your social media results. Stay tuned.) #6 – Check In Please: It’s no longer enough for social media junkies to update their status. Now, they want to update their status with their exact location and who they’re with. You have Foursquare, who experienced tremendous growth recently, and now Facebook has added their Places Application – all of this will lead consumers to expect mobile experiences that can keep up with them. #7 – Mobile Text Messaging Explosion: With Email open rates plummeting (now well under 20%) and huge Email deliverability challenges, top Entrepreneurs and Business Owners are smartly positioning themselves with SMS Text Marketing platforms to gain access to much more efficient and reliable communication with prospects, customers and team members. You should too. SMS Text Message open rates are over 95%. If you are communicating with Email alone, you are on borrowed time. There’s no doubt about it, Internet users are fast becoming dependent on “all things being mobile” to serve their needs. As a serious Entrepreneur or Business owner, it’s imperative that you put your mobile marketing strategy on the front burner. The longer you wait, the further you’ll fall behind… Fortunately, my team and I have put together the ultimate mobile marketing guide, The mCommerce Blueprint, and the most powerful “mobile list building” system in existence, specifically designed for independent and small Business Owners, to catapult your success in this area, fast. And if that wasn’t enough, we even stacked on an ultra-lucrative 100% affiliate commission program on top of it so that you can, not only build your “mobile list” (your most important asset in our Mobile Economy), but also generate a serious extra income, or even a full time income as well. A very powerful combo… Download the guide for free and check out the video CLICK HERE! …You’ll be light years ahead of your competition. - Andrew
