5 Common Mistakes in Mobile Phone Advertising

Advertising in New South Wales, Australia is essential for businesses in order to gain a higher ground against their competition. Advertising is used to create a brand and to make the business known by a lot of people, which contributes to the success of a particular enterprise.

However, advertising a particular product or service does not mean that it will be successful. Some advertisers commit simple mistakes that may jeopardize the advertising. The following are the five common mistakes that merchants and marketers in mobile phone advertising.
NOT having a target audience/market.

One of the common mistakes of some businesses is not having a concrete target market. It is of vital importance that when launching a new product or service, businesses must conduct a market research to specifically know which age group with particular social background will respond to the product/service the most. A specific target market will give directions to the type of ad and the message that will be used in the promotion.

NOT informing the audience about the promotion.

Advertising in New South Wales, Australia and in other parts of the world entails informing consumers when collecting information for promotions. It is never a good idea to deceive customers by collecting data, especially personal information, and surprise them in the future with using the data for various marketing strategies. Consumers will be impressed to businesses that are honest and credible enough to tell their customers that they will be targeted for future promotions, although some customers will turn hostile after the initial promotions. Moreover, businesses using lists of mobile phone subscribers without permission will strip the companies off their credibility. Thus, it is very important to include the consumers in every step of the way.

NOT having appropriate messages.

After determining your target audience and acquiring necessary authorization and permission, it is also important to create ad copies that are appropriate to your target market. The type and overall tone of the messages used must suit the preference of the target market. If the message is off, it may not be effective in encouraging potential clients to avail the product or services. Writing ad copies is also a key in attracting potential consumers. Scam-like ad copies will turn off clients.

NOT knowing when to stop.

Sending a lot of messages or spamming when doing phone advertising is also a common mistake that marketers does. This practice will make consumers think that you are sending scam-like copies. This will annoy potential clients that will eventually make them not to buy the product or avail the service. A single but effective message is enough to capture the hearts of customers.

NOT knowing different mobile phone advertising strategies.

Some merchants and advertisers did not know that they can merge mobile phone advertising with other marketing strategies. Combining various types of advertising will make it effective in attracting customers. One can use coupon or voucher advertising alongside SMS marketing and give consumers discount coupons as a form of promotion.

Advertising in Australia must be carried out carefully and with strategy in order not to waste funds and achieve the opposite of what the business hoped for.
