1. Keep your target market in mind. After all, if your target market is a group of people who do not use their cell phones often, perhaps mobile marketing would not help you that much. Think carefully about how mobile marketing will fit into your overall marketing efforts.

2. Keep in mind all the kinds of cell phones. If you plan to do mobile marketing, make sure to keep things simple so that your pages and messages render well on all platforms, from Windows to Android and beyond.

3. Allow your customers some privacy. This mostly means not to sell their phone numbers to anyone, but it can also relate to spam. You don't like spam, and neither do your customers. Allow them some privacy by not using their phone as your personal billboard. Remember that they likely use the phone for their other personal and business calls.

4. Realize that the cost benefits of mobile marketing make it possible for you to try a number of things. Try a few different messages and see which works for you; mobile marketing is so low-cost that you can try a range of messages until you find one that works best.

5. Make sure that it is easy for people to opt-out of receiving your messages. This means a lot to people. They are entrusting you with their personal number, so it is important that you respect that. And if they decide your messages are not for them, it should be very easy for them to stop receiving them. In fact, the ease of opt-out can be one of the deciding factors in signing up to get messages in the first place.

6. Keep messages short. When you're waiting for a text messages from your wife, you don't want to get a message from a store trying to tell you something. You may not mind if the message is short, the deal is good, and the information is valuable; keep that in mind for your own mobile messages.

7. Send messages during business hours. This expands on the previous point. Don't send your business messages on weekends, and certainly do not think of sending messages too early in the morning. You have to be considerate of people you are sending messages to, especially if you expect they will buy from you.

With this information, you should be more comfortable with mobile marketing and be able to try your first campaign. Let this guide keep you going and help you start mobile marketing so you can see great results.
