Mobile promotions are one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies you can harness. Not only do they allow you to deliver digital incentives quickly and easily to consumers’ mobile devices, but also they allow your company to offer customers instant gratification. Below, we’ll explain how mobile promotions work and how you can use them to drive activations/sales, increase brand awareness, and strengthen customer loyalty within your market.

How Mobile Promotions Work

Mobile promotions come in several forms and each represents a powerful way to reach your target audience.

Mobile topup/talktime is currently the most desired and heavily used mobile incentive, followed closely by music, ringtones, mCoupons, mobile games and wallpapers. Mobile topup allows customers to get either talktime, SMS pack or operator based services, which they can use instantly, and is the most desired gratification.

Music download and ringtone promotions can trigger an immediate customer response and be delivered digitally. Instant win games are interactive promotions that are designed to create excitement in your customers while sending them immediate confirmation regarding whether they have won. Large prize giveaways can capture the attention of your market, drawing them in and creating an irresistible urge to participate. Mobile promotions are effective because they allow you to reach an expansive audience and generate an impulsive response.

The process is simple. An on-pack or in-pack promotion delivers an exclusive text code to consumers on mobile. They can send that text code to a predefined number in order to participate and win instant prize giveaways, and similar mobile promotions. A confirmation message can then be sent to each customer almost instantaneously to let him or her know if they have won a prize. Even better, the entire campaign can be automated, managed and measured over a mobile phone

Music Download Promotions Generate Ongoing Sales

Music is society’s great equalizer. It can touch any person, evoking emotion and excitement, regardless of age or gender. Mobile promotions can leverage the power of music by offering free song downloads to your target audience. An exclusive promo code and website address is given to consumers and directs them to a customized landing page branded with your company’s marketing message. Once there, a library of songs from which to choose greets them. The selection of songs can be customized to dovetail with a particular theme.

Music downloads not only drive users, but can help attract customer data that is essential for ongoing marketing efforts. Gaining the personal information of target consumers is invaluable for building customer loyalty

Interactive Promotions Create Excitement In Your Audience

One of the reasons mobile promotions have been so effective in triggering a response is because they are highly interactive. Traditional advertising – while powerful in its own way – cannot engage consumers at the same level as mobile promotions. For example, instant mobile top-up allow your company to tap into your market’s desire for instant gratification. A text message can be sent as soon as a person participates to confirm whether they have won a prize. Consumers know they will receive an instant confirmation and are more likely to play.
