Is Mobile On Your To Do List?

Share on TwitterShare on Tumblr

Last year was a very interesting year for mobile. We’ve been waiting for small businesses, especially main street businesses, to realize the power of mobile. For us, 2011 was like watching the sun rise. Gradually business owners started realizing the power of mobile and what it could do for them.

Last year businesses were questioning why they needed a mobile solution. After all, their desktop website is visible on smartphone screens. 2012 is the year when businesses will be asking, “How do we get started?”

This year social media will finally live up to its press. With mobile being so complementary to social networking, finally social media will stop being a business’ red headed stepchild and start being a must-do. Or else cost a business when it comes to their search engine rankings. Social proof – the presence that you have on the web from other people, their vote of confidence in you by talking about your business, is going to become more and more important in 2012. Mobile makes social proof easier.

People are like water – they too like the path of least resistance. Consumers want convenience. Especially if they are mobile consumers. Having your business presence on mobile makes it easier for visitors to share your information. Smartphone hardware makes sharing socially easy.

Engaging and connecting with your business is convenient with a mobile web presence.

A hot-off-the-press report on mobile holiday shopping in 2011 reveals some very interesting information. Consumers who have had a good retail mobile experience are much more likely to become repeat customers. The flip side of that is found in a Harris Interactive study – if consumers have a poor mobile experience with your company they are less likely to do business with you again.

Via any marketing channel.

So, what’s the best way for your business to get started in mobile?

With QR codes, text marketing and most importantly, a mobile website.

Mobile Marketing For Art Show Comes to iPhone, Android & Blackberry

Press Release / QR codes
Share on TwitterShare on Tumblr

 

MobileMarketingMax.com and LIFESPAN Arts Join Up to Create Charlotte, NC Area First Mobile Enhanced Art Show.

Charlotte, NC June 22, 2011 – Mobile Marketing Max, Charlotte, NC’s leading mobile marketing agency, today announced that the first mobile enhanced art show in the region will take place June 23rd at LIFESPAN Arts, a multi-disciplinary, fully inclusive art studio situated in the North Davidson Art District in Charlotte, NC.

LIFESPAN Arts’ new show, Access, will use mobile technology to increase personal engagement and interaction with the artwork and gallery during the event.

Mobile Marketing Max is providing Quick Response (QR) codes that will enable smart phone users to access artwork information that would usually be displayed beside each piece of art. Smart phone users can download free scanning apps to their phone to further take part in the show.

The QR codes are paired to mobile web pages designed to deliver more information about the art on display. Tracey Hartzog, of LIFESPAN Arts, said, “We chose a mobile website because we saw it as an ideal way to introduce the population that LIFESPAN serves to the Internet. By using a QR code, it provides an easy and accessible way to the artist’s own website without having to enter the web address.” Hartzog added, “We chose Charlotte mobile marketing agency Mobile Marketing Max based on their technical knowledge and the quality of previous work and we think the show will be innovative, fun and very different.”

Fran Jeanes, founder of the mobile marketing agency, said, “We recommend everyone use ScanLife’s app to join in the fun.” Adding, “Access is the first mobile enhanced art show that we are aware of. It was born from an idea I had about eighteen months ago when my company started offering QR codes for small business marketing. I see so much potential for this technology in Charlotte’s museums, city parks, theatres and other art galleries. Access is pioneering mobile enhanced art and I look forward to taking this technology further.”

QR codes are becoming increasingly popular and are being embraced quickly by Fortune 500 companies eager to be ahead of the curve and stand out from their competitors. Fran Jeanes added, “Using mobile technology to reach, engage and interact with consumers is immensely powerful. Many small businesses don’t realize that marketing via mobile means they can now have the look of a Fortune 500 company but within their budget. The marketing playing field has been leveled.”

LIFESPAN Arts Access art show & reception will take place in The Atrium at 2424 North Davidson Street, Charlotte, NC 28205, 5:00 – 8:00pm, Thursday June 23rd.

Access was funded by a grant from the Reemprise Fund, which enabled artists from LIFESPAN Arts to partner with affiliate artists from the McColl Center for Visual Arts.
