Marketing orthodoxy has evolved to meet the new formidable changes of the new technonomy. Mobile Marketing itself is a relatively new marketing platform and with the advent of smartphones, newer features like geo tagging, microblogging (twitter), social networking and accessing the internet from mobile instruments , campaigning has become more personalized and more creative.

Mobile Marketing grants a great platform for viral marketing, and how! Mobile content can be very easily shared among users. People invariably share information or offers that seem interesting to them with the people around them, thus companies get a lot more exposure with not as much extra effort. Not just in those terms, viral mobile marketing works best in rural areas where access to traditional media, computers and internet is fairly less. Interesting content coupled with word-of-mouth works wonders in this field. Netcore’s industrially acclaimed campaigns for Hindustan Unilever’s Active Wheel, Colgate Active Salt Taste Challenge 2012 and India Against Corruption campaigns are good examples of viral mobile marketing.

The biggest ever advantage of Mobile Marketing is the fact that your consumers are always online. Almost all mobile users carry their phones wherever they go and are accessible at any given point. This gives marketers a huge advantage of timing and targeting their campaigns in such a way that the impact is maximum.

In conclusion, mobile marketing gives the consumer many advantages like customization, lower cost, easy tracking etc; thereby reducing manpower and also giving the marketer better business benefits and profits.
