Mobile Marketing And A Brand New Year
Nothing beats using all forms of communication at your disposal when it comes to marketing and advertising. And mobile marketing is a great option to add to your array of reaching out to others this year.
Millions text daily, and many marketers are finding their bottom lines increasing through the use of this simple, yet highly effective, form of communication.
And, of course, marketing is not the sole purpose to texting. For example, the use of short codes can also be applied to any arena. Imagine how highly effective it becomes when schools and colleges use this lightening fast way of passing important messages! Student-teacher interactions happen at almost the speed of light! Class canceled? Voila you know! Campus security issues, again in a flash you are notified! Assignments altered? Due dates delayed? Again, using 8444.com, you (the student) are informed in a snap.
Actually, I am going through their site, and quite frankly there are just so many ways to use their service – too many in fact to list them all (hence for more about short codes, click that link). Their list of applications and vertical markets is quite extensive! And, with your own creativity and imagination, this large list has plenty of room to grow!
So is 2010 the year you incorporate mobile marketing? There’s just one way to find out. Find out if your mobile phone carrier includes the 8444.com service. You’ll find a comprehensive list (current as of December 1, 2009) here at 84444 Supported Carriers.
Pull out all the stops! Use all available methods of communication at (literally) your fingertips, and see what an exciting year this one becomes for you, your family, and your business online!
This has been coming for a while. I agree that it is very useful on college campuses world-wide but it will also induce (if not already) everyone talking in short codes. Yes, I am feeling my age and I certainly will not be able to keep up with the fast talking, fast fingered youngsters!

I am still a reluctant mobile user, hardly gave anyone my number LOL. Kind of defeats the purpose I gues….
