Gain an Insight into the Key Steps to Mobile Advertising Success


DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c51052) has announced the addition of Mobile Advertising: Opportunities & Illusions to their offering.

Mobile Advertising: Opportunities & Illusions is the result of more than 35 in-depth interviews with leading merchants, software tool developers, mobile operators, and content providers. The report presents the six steps to mobile advertising success. It explains and compares the major mobile advertising capabilities, and discusses how the evolution of mobile handsets, networks, and related technologies will fuel mobile advertising. The report also contains a directory of 50 select mobile advertising vendors.



Additional conclusions found in Mobile Advertising: Opportunities & Illusions:

- The mobile phone presents unique opportunities to interact directly with consumers. One-way sales pitches squander those opportunities. We recommend mobile ads that engage end-users through contests, giveaways, and special promotions.


- Ease of use is the Number One challenge to mobile data (and therefore mobile advertising) success. Independent mobile information services that push desired content to mobile users, preloading it when possible, and using a mix of mobile phone, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth access when necessary, are the solution.

- Most mobile content will be advertising-supported. The best way for mobile operators to monetize advertising is by selling merchants rules-based access to millions of subscribers. Successful operators will treat merchants like enterprise customers, offering them mobile marketing subscriptions backed by an array of management tools.
