Mobile Marketing Options for Businesses

The number of mobile devices purchased each day is growing exponentially! The ability to connect and communicate everywhere we go is changing the world.   What does this mean to you as a business owner?  Mobile is here to stay, so it will be up to you to determine when and how you want to enter the mobile marketing arena.  

What you will learn:

In this workshop we will cover a number of options on how you as a business owner can leverage the mobile marketplace.  We will look at QR codes, mobile websites, mobile advertising, text marketing, and mobile apps.  Use one option or leverage multiple options in your marketing efforts.  We will cover each option and discuss how it can be used effectively to reach your target market.

As a result of the workshop, you will have an understanding of the mobile marketing options available today.  Once you understand mobile marketing basics, you will be able to plan when and how to implement mobile marketing for your business.
