We look at some ways that could up your marketing game.
Smartphone: Call To Action
Good marketing always has a strong call-to-action (or
CTA): an invitation, a special offer, a free download, or a
subscription.
For Valentine’s Day, your CTA would get you the
maximum bang for buck on your product marketing
campaign.
It could utilize a hybrid app or in app campaign, though
the best use would be the social media based ads.
Youngsters Love Engaging
With Their Handhelds
Young people enjoy using their mobile phones for deals
and leveraging those deals could be your marketing
campaign mantra for mobile.
Partner up with other companies; find companies that
are not selling products or services suitable for
Valentine’s Day.
However, they might have bigger email lists than you do
which target youngsters.
Collaboration results in better customer experience will
work for your marketing portfolio.
Mobile Can Take Care Of
Time Lag In Marketing
Don’t be disheartened if you are a little late on beginning
your campaign.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Most people start their gift buying within a week of
Valentine’s Day so you are not really at a loss if you start
late.
Youngsters are quick to take up on last minute deals. The
recoil effect from other campaigns (because bulk of the
consumers shop on impulse) might benefit your campaign
if handled right.
Offer Your Brand Through
Every Means Possible
As Valentine’s day is celebrated by everyone (mostly) these
days; email marketing will benefit your campaign in a huge
manner, along with the usual mobile marketing.
Adding more subscribers to your mailing list, segmenting
your list demographically, coming up with good subject
lines and designing amazing emails will persuade an
average buyer to dig in deeper your products/services.
Targeted mobile ads work best for shopping offers and
brand building.
Location based mobile advertising will up your ante this
valentines season.
Create Shopping Specials
And Market
Creating and inventing Valentine’s Day special products and
services would attract customers.
In case your product is not readily molded into a Valentine’s
Day themed artifact, creating a Valentine’s Day themed
marketing campaign that revolves around that product is a
good idea.
Have contests and winnable prizes associated with those
products – the aforementioned collaboration can come in
handy for sponsoring such a contest.
Mobile ad exchange companies can handle such contests
for a fee and is the easiest option in this regard.
Crowd Source Your Market
Campaign
Make your customers write testimonials.
Customer feedback appended with a tag line such as
‘valentine’s day love’ or ‘frown on the V-day’ can put your
customers to write your marketing messages for you.
Release those messages on the V-day and see the magic
unfold.
Be Realistic And Strategic
About Time
If you’re sending emails to personal email address, send it
outside of work hours
If sending to a work email, send it during the workday.
Be specific and strategic so that your customers don’t get
frustrated with your emails and discard it as spam.
These points with just a simple personal touch like a quote or
a personal message that adds to the value of your mobile
marketing solutions would work wonders with the customers.
Not only the subscribers to your product or service come back
to you, you might just attract some unsuspecting love birds on
V-day by your impressive marketing skills.
