Geoff and Gini put it this way…

“Mobile is a medium that lends itself to brevity. Simpler, shorter messaging

and graphic design are often less consuming from a creative production

standpoint.”

- Marketing in the Round, Geoff Livingston and Gini Dietrich

Your mobile site needs to be laser focused on the user

experience. #fredexpo



Responsive Design

Instead of creating a mobile website, create a website that adjusts itself for mobile and otherdevices.


Your Plan of Attack!What about Utility Marketing?

Putting content and information in

your marketing material that your

target audience can utilize.


Your Plan of Attack!Utility Marketing Content…

This is the stuff that your target audience needs.

Put this content up front, using responsive design…

• blog posts

• video or audio

• Or simple things like phone number, directions, etc.

smartphone or tablet. Are you there? #fredexpo



Tools or tools.

Don’t use a tool simplybecause its shiny and new.Use it because it fits,helps you achieve yourgoals, and is useful foryour audience.


Your Plan of Attack!Strategies instead of tools…

1. Use a QR code to enhance not as your mobile marketing campaign.

2. Use mobile landing pages specific to a campaign

3. Remember that you have an audience with audiences (credit: Brian

Solis). Think about content that will be shared.

4. Encourage interaction with the tools available.
