Hand Held Devices and Email Marketing

by: Nick Singh

As we are all aware, technology is now very much a central part of our lives and it is imperative to get along with devices that can potentially change our lives and the way we do things. Mobile phones have transformed the way we communicate and interact with each other, and we now have the ability to say what we want, when we want, at very competitive rates. Apart from the obvious, there are many uses that a handheld device can offer. You can download apps (applications) that can read as a spirit level, or communicate with someone via video, which is a revolution in its self. However, many of us tend to stick to the basics, and are now getting used to taking email with us wherever we may go.

Many agencies have tried to monetise this as it is a great channel for Search Engine Marketing companies to take advantage of. With mobile devices such as the blackberry and the iPhone, it is easier than ever to communicate as the devices allow for better composition of messages. However, it is apartment that many Internet Marketing firms are still overloading emails with unnecessary images, which is even worse for mobile users that fail to display these objects easily. A huge percentage of business owners are using mobile phones to check their emails, but many are not taking advantage of this and falling behind the curve.

Marketing for mobile is much like the web design days of old where you would design a site, and test it on all platforms to make sure that it worked properly for all types of user. Mobile marketing is very similar. Marketers are being urged to cater for target audiences and make sure that they are presented with well formatted and easy to use content. If the growth of mobile web is anything to go by, the need for accurate data across this channel is now more important than ever before.
