Mobile Marketing Strategy - Part Two

Mobile marketing is all about social, and all about local. But what about businesses with multiple locations? Or brands sold by resellers at locations that aren’t their own? How should marketers approach this type of scenario? And what mobile marketing trends should advertisers be paying attention to?

And what about the user interface? It’s one thing to lead a horse to water. It’s another thing to get them to actually drink. We know, by now, that the user experience on a mobile device is very different than it is on the desktop. What’s the best way for mobile marketers to ensure a positive small screen experience, so that once customers find them, they stick around and convert.
