Creating a Mobile Web Presence-When to Use the Mobile Web as a Marketing Tool

Unless your target market consists of people who never use mobile phones, your best bet is to create at least a simple mobile web presence as quickly as possible. We have reached a point in the marketing cycle of the Internet at which consumers expect businesses to have a website, even if it is a basic one. We will reach that point with the mobile web quickly as well. Your business needs to have a mobile website when consumers begin to expect a mobile web presence.

Think of this time as the gold rush of the mobile Internet. Now is the time to stake your claim. It is much the same as going back in time to 1995 and creating a website before all your competitors did. You can be among the first to have a mobile site and be available on the mobile web when your customers are looking for you out there.

Your mobile site can be as simple or as complex as your customers will need and use. Start out with a basic site. As consumer use of the mobile web increases from the occasional by a few people to daily by most people, you can continue to add onto your mobile site. Start with what your customers or potential customers want to find (not search, but find) as it relates to your business. Then gradually add more features as your customers' needs change and you mobile marketing strategy develops.
