Advertising Goes Mobile

October 5, 2013 By Gail Gardner 36 Comments

Your Business Name Here ad on mobile phoneChange is constant, whether we like it or not. From the dawn of human time, there have been individuals who complain about the process of change and want to go back to “the way things used to be.” But change brings opportunity, and a savvy business owner is always on the hunt for opportunity.

A lot of the latest opportunities come via the mobile revolution. More and more often, instead of sitting down to work at a computer at a desk, modern Americans are pulling computers out of their pockets.

Wherever they are, they are searching the internet for products and services, and if they are on the go, they may be searching for something they need right now.

To catch the attention of those willing buyers, you need two tools:
a great website optimized for online use and a mobile advertising campaign.

An Online Home

A business website is like your business’s home on the web. Whatever products or services you sell, this is the place to showcase them. Whether or not you sell items online, you can upload a portfolio of your best work or describe the processes that make your products the best in their class.

You can catch new customers by showing people that you are simply the best at what you do. If you take the extra step to sell products online, you could increase your revenues greatly. If those willing, eager customers can buy your products or services directly on their phone, as soon as they find you, you may make sales that would never happen otherwise.

If you haven’t developed a website before, or if you are in the process of revamping an existing site, remember that it’s vital to design with mobile devices in mind. Reading a website designed for a gorgeous, enormous desktop display is a very different experience from reading the same site on a tiny phone screen.

You need a website that cuts to the chase and puts the most important information up front for your customers to find. Your site should adapt easily to different screen sizes and configurations. Modern web development, fortunately, makes this easy to do. When your site is ready to go, you’re ready to contact a mobile advertising company for the next step.

Ads on the Go

Just like designing web pages for large screens is very different from designing them for small ones, effective ads designed for the small screen are not the same as their desktop-computer counterparts.

For basic text ads in search results there may not be much visual difference. But you need an advertising campaign that takes mobile computing into consideration.

For example, if you can identify where a searcher is located, you may be able to give them different offers relevant to their location. The best way to do this, if you are not an advertising expert, is to engage the services of a company that specializes in mobile ad campaigns. They will evaluate your website and needs and have the tools to position you at the top of relevant search results, so that when people look for products and services, they’ll naturally come to you.

    Mobile is huge in certain sectors – restaurants always spring to mind. But when it comes to in-depth research and buying something I still think most people prefer to actually make the purchase on a tablet or computer. It would be interesting to know what percentage of sales for an online furniture store are made from mobiles, my guess is that it would be around 5% max.

    Hi Gail, I agree mobiles are fast replacing the computers from our lives. The place captured by computers is fast filling up with these handy technologically advanced masterpieces which are no less than our desktops or laptops. Without a mobile friendly website, a business has very less scope today.

    It still amazes me advertising actually works as I just ignore any attempts a company makes with its propaganda. I refuse to buy a modern phone a have had a £3.50 basic texting model for the last 4 years – no adverts for me, thank you. It’s inevitable online, of course, and you can see it through everything. Even Twitter, which through its Promoted Tweets puts certain tweets high up search results. It doesn’t surprise me mobile phones are now being targeted for more ads – Responsive Design certainly opens them up for it.

    Everything here is true. Especially the very first line…which means you can get a head start by skipping right over “mobile” as defined by “pulling computers out of their pockets”. Soon, we won’t need pockets. We’ll have implants that will make Google Glass look quaint and anachronistic.

    Not too long ago I came across an infographic detailing who is most likely to respond to adverts on mobile phones. I think it was broken down by gender and even ethnicity. Just goes to show how much weight big business has placed on mobile advertising when compared to other venues.
