List of key components for mobile audience marketing
1. Choose images over text
Whenever you are creating content or an ad for your mobile users, be more visual. Select attention-grabbing images and write a concise and crisp text, along with a CTA.
2. Be careful with CTAs
In a desktop ad, you’ve enough space to write long CTAs. But, while curating a mobile ad, you should keep in mind that on mobile phones, the screens are smaller, and people might find long text, boring and invisible to naked eyes. Write short, crisp, and easy-to-understand CTAs.
3. Responsiveness
Though there are more audiences on mobile, they do spend some hours of the day on desktops. Hence, it is very essential to create a design that works for both mobile phones and desktop. Don’t just make responsive websites, add creative and high-quality content on it as well.
4. Consider location marketing
Since your mobile audience is constantly on the go, you can make use of location-based marketing. For example, if your target audience is at an airport, you can run location-specific ads, and invite them to your business using digital or social ads.
5. Track and optimize
Understand the behaviour of your mobile audience by tracking the data of your mobile ads. Know if your audience is liking the content you’re curating or not. You can also interact and engage with them, as and when possible to get some personal insights.
Mobile audience marketing needs a distinct approach and a flexible marketing plan to grab more attention and to increase the number of mobile audiences. Thus, make sure you always track your mobile user’s journey, whenever they are taking action on your brand, and use it for your next mobile marketing strategy.
