Mobile Media Marketing

Your Business in Their Pocket

The mobile app market is currently a multi-billion dollar a year industry and it is continuing to grow at record numbers. Marketing and advertising industry professionals agree that the smartphone has changed the marketing arena for business owners and has leveled the playing field. Small businesses can compete right along with corporate giants such Starbucks for advertising space on consumer’s mobile phones.

“As a small business owner making every customer count is one of the most important things you can do and being able to get your business in front of as many eyeballs as possible should always be your number one priority. The internet can easily help any business get more customers if they know what they’re doing or have a competent SEO company helping them out.” – Ramiro Rodriguez, Original Press Releases

One of the biggest benefits of getting a mobile app for a small business is customers can quickly find directions from where ever they are located directly to the business and most apps offer a ‘one click’ option to dial the business’s phone number instantly. Businesses can also provide coupons and time sensitive discounts via a mobile app along with hundreds of other marketing and advertising strategies.

Life in Virginia

It’s been two months since I’ve moved from Yonkers, NY to Manassas, Va.

My friends and family were curious as to why I wanted to leave the city life to move to Virginia.

To be honest, I wanted to save money and live somewhere that wasn’t too city like.

I was ready to make a major change in my life and my living situation.

Since I retired a couple of years ago as a teacher in NYC, I thought about moving.

At first I was considering the Poconos in Pennsylvania but I didn’t want to deal with more snow and cold.

I considered Florida but too hot all the time, living in constant AC is not for me.

I like Manassas, Va, I’m living in a quiet condo community with 3 family houses.

I’ve changed my diet dramatically eating more greens, grains, legumes and no meat.

I read this great book “The Ultra Simple Diet” by Dr. Mark Hyman, it changed my life.

This has been a major change in my lifestyle and I feel great!

It’s been a long time since I was a member of a gym and taken fitness classes.

I’ve been working out in Gold’s gym for the past month, which is building muscle and losing fat.

I haven’t been training as much martial arts because I’ve been trying to heal some old injuries.

So, I’ve been teaching more than doing and have suffered the effects of non participation.

I’m building my mobile media consultants empire, haha.

I’m working with some of the top people in building Apps,  SEO, and Google places.

I’m helping local business owners on how to maximize their marketing on the internet.

I really enjoy working with people and showing them the possibilities of the internet to build their business.

Use Resistance Bands for Strength Building

Resistance Bands for Strength and Conditioning

Strength and conditioning using resistance bands operates according to the same scientific principles of stressing the muscles with progressive resistance as free weight training.

Strength building with resistance bands is an exact science of repetitions and sets of exercises at maximum effort to build your body and mind.  An extremely

important aspect of strength training is proper nutrition. The diet aspect of your strength and conditioning program is just as important, if

not more, than  the resistance band training aspect. So, eliminate sugar, fatty fried foods, processed foods and foods with preservatives. Eat a more natural diet with fruits, vegetables,

legumes, and if possible organically grown. Also include some vitamin and protein supplements as well as vegetable juices and protein shakes. Eat smaller meals 4-5 times a day with less snacking.

Resistance Exercises using Bands

If you are serious about developing your mind and body through a safe and effective resistance band training

program, find a trainer that is qualified and experienced using resistance bands.

If your using resistance bands for muscular size, lift mainly in the 8-12 rep range but if you want to tone the muscles then lift from

12-15 reps.  Do 3 sets of each exercises resting 1 minute between sets, 2x a week for about 45-60 minutes per

session. When using resistance bands maintain an even tempo of lifting smooth and quick, pause and return the

weight slower than the lift. Prepare your mind and body before starting and have a cool down routine, with a

power shake or light snake immediately after training.

resistance band training program should be geared towards the type of sport skill needed. If your sport skill is speed and endurance, lift

lighter weights with higher repetitions. If you are more of a strength athlete you will do better lifting heavier weights with fewer reps.

Supplements, proper nutrition, rest and mental preparation can help in achieving muscular mass much faster.

Gaining muscular mass is easy  when you lift correctly and follow a plan prescribed by a qualified resistance band coach.

Remember, everyone develops differently and at their own pace according to body type, intensity during training and time invested. If you are patient, dedicated

and consistent you will get the results you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for a way to feel and look great – then using resistance bands is for you.

Mobile Media Solutions

Mobile Media Solutions For Business

Mobile media solutions for business generally describes marketing on or with a mobile device, such as a cellular phones, tablets, and lap tops.  It can also refer to more on-the-move traditional marketing, such as technology road shows or moving billboards. Broadly defined, mobile media solutions is the use of mobile communications media as a means of directing marketing communication. An example is where interactive wireless media providers give customers time-and-location sensitive, personalized, information, which promotes goods, services, and ideas—thereby generating value for both buyer and seller. One of the unique features of mobile media marketing is that it is often user-initiated and user-controlled, and requires the express consent of the user to receive future communications (“Mobile marketing,” 2011).  Approximately 4.6 billion cell-phones exist globally, compared to 1.1 billion computers. Cellular phones currently outnumber TV sets by over 3 to 1, and PC based internet users by over 4 to 1, and the total laptop and desktop PC population by nearly 5 to 1 (“Mobile advertising,” 2011). Therefore, it is hard to ignore this trend as a means of generating interest and ultimately, sales revenue.

Mobile Media Solutions Via Text-Message

Text messaging, also known as Short Message Service (SMS), has been in use since approximately 1992, and is limited to 140 bytes per message, or about 160 characters in the English alphabet. SMS is popular in Europe, Asia (though in Japan SMS has been largely superseded by mobile internet email), the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and is growing in popularity in Africa (“Text messaging,” 2011). About 3.5 billion text messages are sent everyday (Cohen, September 24, 2009).

I Just Won...

SMS has several advantages over email, something exploitable by mobile media marketers. For one, the existing regulatory framework still keeps SMS uncluttered and spam-free. SMS is also the one form of communication that many people are tethered to 24/7, and cannot do without.  Where email in boxes fill up with loads of marketing messages that will be deleted and never read, 97% of text-messages are opened, with 83% of those opened within one hour of being sent. One of the most notable text-marketing campaigns occurred during the 2008 presidential campaign, when President Obama stated he would use SMS as one of the means to announce his selection of Joe Biden as his running mate. Approximately 2.9 million users registered to receive the notification, and though CNN scooped the nation on television prior to SMS announcement being sent, the Obama campaign was able to use the 2.9 million cell-phone numbers acquired for further campaign marketing and for fundraising.  The publicity of this event was noted, and afterward there was an uptick in SMS marketing throughout the country (Cohen, September 24, 2009).

SMS has become the most widely used mobile media solutions tool used by the retail and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. SMS marketing is effective because the message is sent directly to the target audience, and can be used for a number of areas, such as recruiting, marketing, customer care services, etc. Bulk SMS has also become important for reaching enormous markets with large numbers of potential customers in a short period of time. Just one click allows a business person to send a text-message containing a product description, price, or any other relevant information .

Mobile Media Solutions Via Mobile Advertising

Mobile advertising is a form of advertising via cell-phones or other mobile devices, and is considered to be a subset of mobile media solutions. Mobile media advertising is closely related to internet advertising, though its reach is considered to be far greater. It is probable that the advertising and the mobile media industry will increasingly account for a larger share of the fast growing mobile media solutions market, though it remains at about 1% of global advertising spent (“Mobile advertising,” 2011).

Mobile Media Solutions Surpasses Internet Marketing

Mobile media advertising is becoming more popular as businesses try to reach their customer-base through an expanding use of smart phones. Research from Informa Telecoms & Media indicates that the mobile advertising industry might be worth almost $24 billion by 2015 (Del Grande, July 5, 2011).

According to the CEO of mobile media solutions company BuzzCity, mobile advertising is no longer dominated by a handful of markets. To have nearly 50 countries each serve over 100 million advertisements per quarter is not only an important milestone, but a real indication of the depth and increasing maturity of mobile media solutions as a whole. Mobile internet advertising is now an ubiquitous force for marketers to spread their message, build brands and transactions with a medium that marketers cannot afford to ignore. Moreover, as adoption of mobile payment technology becomes more widespread, mobile advertising will likely respond to help advertisers see more direct and immediate responses to their ad campaigns (BuzzCity.com, 2011a). BuzzCity’s first quarter, 2011 results saw the number of ads served on the BuzzCity ad network increase by 38% globally, to 23.2 billion ad impressions, representing record levels of both traffic and adspend, primarily driven by ongoing consumer demand for greater mobile media solutions (BuzzCity.com, 2011b).

According to BuzzCity’s CEO, Consumer demand for mobile content continues to grow and advertisers are taking advantage of this. In gaming for example, advertisers are using paper-download games as a key part of ad campaigns—particularly in value added services markets in places like Indonesia, South Africa, India, and Mexico. Central and South American countries continue to be a hotspot for mobile advertising campaigns, helped by cheaper data rates and improved network capabilities. Countries that have shown an increase of mobile media solutions through advertising and text messaging include Spain (225%), China (130%), South Korea (92%), Thailand (92%) and Turkey (82%). Despite political tension, even Egypt has shown a phenomenal 144% increase in mobile media solutions.

Mobile media solutions, uses text messaging and mobile advertising as a necessary part of an advertising campaign for any business to be competitive in today’s market.
