Thus, the immediate requirement of businesses is to focus their advertising resources into this new media which has opened up avenues hitherto unknown. Considering a few points will go a long way in tapping the new opportunities in the maximum possible manner.

Well Targeted Ads

One of the key areas which have seen a revolutionary change with the introduction of Advertising on Mobiles is market segmentation. It is no longer necessary to rely on the age old methods of surveys in order to determine the segments of the market. Internet Marketing had already started studying the behavior of the users and forming segments based on the frequency of the websites visited. Mobile Advertising increased the accuracy of this segmentation. Since the mobile is a personal device, the analysts can be sure that the calculations being done pertain to a single user. Better market segmentation leads to better targeted ads which in return result in better conversion rates.

Utilize New Techniques    

Advertising on Mobile opened up new techniques of getting in touch with the companies. For example, click to call and voice and key pad interactions were not feasible with desktop ads. Make sure that these techniques are utilized.

Play Smart

Utilize concepts of interstitial ads so as to avoid evoking irritation in the consumer. Flash Games, Interactive Competitions, etc. can also be used to good effects.

Even as some analysts are still apprehensive on the future of this medium, the figures are very reassuring.  Focusing on a few simple areas like the above can go a long way in getting the most out of mobile advertising.
