Seasonal mobile promotions – the how-to guide
Our step-by-step guide to running successful mobile promotions around holidays and special events tells you everything you need to know, including:

  • How to pick a suitable event for mobile promotions
    Mobile promotions should be based around events that are relevant to a broad range of your customers. Valentine’s Day works particularly well because it transcends culture and religion and like many other festivals, is all about giving.
  • How to set realistic goals for your mobile promotions
    The ideal mobile promotion targets and rewards existing customers while building
    the opt-in list for future mobile campaigns. If the advantage is clear – e.g. sign up to receive monthly discount coupons or the chance to win – consumers will subscribe through the mobile or Web site.
  • How to make mobile promotions relevant and appealing
