Join Mike as he chats to Rob and Gavin (Channel Mobile) and they discuss the top three mobile marketing ideas for the South African market.The guys from Channel Mobile suggest:
1) Keep it simple, keep it text based.
2) Wap push url (which can be connected to the simple text message for those that have newer generation phones)
3) Quick response codes
Hi Mike,
Noted only Johannesburg and Cape Town for sessions, OK I am a in Durban.
Busy working my way through Dan Hollings and Wilson Mattos “Mobile Marketing Success” online course. A few questions regarding our South African Market.
1. Japan have trends of 85% mobile usage, here in SA as we know more people have cell phones than PC’s – 5 Million South African’s are on Facebook – excellent platform for launching products from Facebook – Amanzon and quite a few big players are up and running. How or when will the technology become freely available for the older phones to be able to connect into a QR or 2D code?
2) Do You feel as I do that the 5% of the rest of the world now following suite will have the technology running within a year – USA only starting to roll this out in big stores such as Macey’s.
This is exciting new prospect and I feel the next big wave in technology, have to be ready for this when it arrives.
Thanks for your video, just a lot to learn and a lot of questions/answers are going to be lurking around the next corner of that I am sure.
