Mobile Advertising Tips To Get A Edge On Your Competition

Drive Traffic to a Landing Page

To ensure that your ads are successful, carefully match them with the landing page.

Carefully matching your ads is more important than going for sites with a high amount of traffic.

Get a  SMS short code

Consider starting a short code campaign to increase your mobile marketing database. Short code allows potential customers to text a code to enroll in message updates. This is great too because it allows you to build a subscriber list and ensures that only those customers wishing to receive messages do so.

Advertise your short code campaign through social media sites, your web site and any print marketing materials.

Make your ads mobile compatible

Consider adding advertising to your website that specifically built for the mobile environment. Your traditional web banners are not going to cut it on a mobile device. If you have already optimized your site for a mobile experience, those banners are no longer even visible.

There are a lot of great mobile advertising platforms out in the market, including AdMob, iAd and MobClix.
