Mobile Marketing

The mobile phone is a small gadget that has had a huge impact on our day to day lives. It has already had a profound impact on the way we communicate and conduct ourselves daily. This continues to be felt as the mobile phone enables new ways to market and new markets in which to transact.

The Internet transformed our world in two fundamental ways: it has given anyone with access to the Internet the opportunity to interact easily with others (and with companies and brands), and through search, it has made information easily available.

Content and information have become readily available, and importantly, available for free on the Internet. Developed as a platform for academics to share information, the Web has a strong ethos of free content.

Mobile phones, particularly as developing technology means that new and better features are being packed into ever smaller devices, add to the interactivity and searchability of the Internet with several fundamental features native to the mobile phone and the way we use it. These unique benefits are explored further in this chapter.

This module has been prepared with a view to educate and create awareness about mobile marketing, how mobile marketing works,  when to consider spending on mobile marketing, how to do it right, emerging technologies, the good and the bad about mobile marketing.

This module would be useful for people interested in knowing more about Mobile Marketing, MBA / BBA / B.Com students, Sales & Marketing Professionals, Advertising & PR Professionals, NGO's, NPO's, Brand Managers, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, SME's and anyone wanting to know about the fundamentals of mobile marketing.
