Watch out for These 5 Mobile Marketing Mistakes
Mobile marketing is a powerful tool that gives you the ability to reach consumers in virtually any location with minimal effort.

1. Not promoting your campaign.
With so many brands fighting for the attention of consumers, you have to continuously search for ways to grab their attention and keep it. The more you promote your campaigns, the more opportunities consumers will have to subscribe to your emails, follow you on social media and provide their permission for SMS marketing.
Promote your mobile marketing campaigns effectively by including clear calls to action across all of your promotional platforms, posting signs in your stores and using large, attention-grabbing fonts.
2. Not using responsive design.
Responsive design is a revolutionary web design technique that allows you to create a website that automatically adjusts its layout and/or content based on the size of the screen used to access it. If the website is accessed from a desktop computer, for example, the site will display all of its usual content. However, if the site is accessed from a mobile phone, it will display only the most essential content in an easy-to-read format.
Using responsive design ensures that consumers who access your site via mobile will be able to find the information they need quickly without getting frustrated or giving up. According to BOP Design, this technique can also be used to enhance the experience of consumers receiving emails from your brand.
