Are You Missing out on Mobile Marketing Opportunities to the Professional Tradesman?

We’ve talked many times about the importance of having a mobile strategy when wanting to reach the professional contractors. Their office is a jobsite and they need to be and stay connected. Mobile is changing the way we reach these important people.

A recent article by Bob Oord in marketingprofs outlines the explosion in this market and ways we can maximize our efforts there. An amazing stat is that their usage has doubled in just 1 year! The integration of mobile apps with CRM and business intelligence has changed user expectations.

TOP MOBILE TACTICS TO CONSIDER:

  • Responsive website – so it can be read on any device
  • Mobile-friendly campaigns – optimize landing pages.
  • Mobile advertising – can be tailored by location, time and device so take advantage of them.
  • Mobile email – make sure your HTML can be read properly on these devices.
  • Mobile apps – apps let you secure a prominent presence on your customer’s device.

Please note that a recent report by Forrester, “Don’t Confuse Tablet And Mobile Marketing,” a B2B marketer needs to differentiate between smart phones and tablets. Smart phones have a much smaller screen for content experiences and is used “on the go,” while tablets are used more at home and in the office offering rich content opportunities.
