Benefits of Mobile Marketing Over Traditional Advertising
With over 95% of phone calls and texts answered by receipts, customer care is currently having one of the smartest methods of engaging clients: mobile marketing. This has outperformed direct mail flyers and email marketing that stands at around 20% depending on the industry. Jennifer Reynolds, a senior sales manager with Textedly adds, “according to Direct Marketing Association’s 2010 report, while text marketing leads to a conversion rate of 8.2%, direct mail and email stayed at 1.7%.”
Further reports have shown that customers who received a text message converted at the rate of 89% higher than others. This means that customers do not care about receiving many text messages and repetitive texts actually works. Here are some of the benefits of mobile marketing companies’ vs other advertising companies.
Detailed analytics
Unlike other platforms, mobile marketing platforms have detailed analytics. Companies can use mobile marketing to test different methods and ads and receive real-time feedback that helps them to quickly adjust their strategies to meet customer trends. The detail and speed at which they can be monitored is much more than other advertising companies.
They offer interactive and engaging content
As compared to other advertising companies, mobile marketing can offer videos, photos, and other interactive messages that customers can identify with in a personal way. This is a more engaging method of making the customers stay interested in the brand and the product. Through their rich media, consumers feel that they have become part of the company.
Ease of action
This is also another element that makes mobile marketing companies the best. With 90% of texts being read immediately, companies can rest assured that their texts will be read as soon as possible. With their call for actions, customers can also take immediate action if they need to. More so, 98% of mobile phones can receive texts hence there are no additional modifications needed.
Cost effective
Unlike other advertising companies, the ROI is highly optimized in mobile marketing companies. The cost per acquisition is far much lower than other competing advertising companies. This, therefore, sets it up as a future engagement platform.
Mobile marketing stands out
Since mobile messages are not lost in spam or junk, they stand out. Currently, most email servers use strong email filters that cause many emails to be discarded into the spam folder. With the huge load of junk emails, it’s hard for any direct email flyer to escape from being sent to trash. This means companies using mobile marketing have a marketing advantage over those that use other mediums.… Read the rest
Best Things to Do in Provence in the South of France
France is the world’s number one tourist destination, and within this country of wondrous natural beauty one of the most-visited regions is the area of southeast France known as Provence.
The classic region of Provence, as named by the Romans, was a huge area that stretched west from the current Italian border near Nice to Marseille at the mouth of the Rhône. Nowadays when we refer to Provence we generally exclude the Mediterranean coast, now called the Côte d’Azur (or Côte Varoise near Saint-Tropez), and think of the area that stretches north of the coast a 150 kilometers or so to the vineyards and rolling countryside, dotted with tiny villages, in the area around Aix-en-Provence and Avignon. Provence offers a number of unique attractions not only for a tourist but also for those who would like to buy property and settle down here.
A Mediterranean climate featuring more than 300 days of sunshine per year is a major drawing card. Whether you enjoy swimming at nearby seaside beaches or hiking in the hills, the climate of Provence offers numerous advantages for those who are physically active and enjoy the out-of-doors. And even with its well-deserved reputation for warm and sunny weather, major ski resorts in the Alps are only a drive of two hours or less from most parts of Provence.
While Provence is best known for its warm-weather attractions, many visitors especially enjoy visiting in the winter, when there are few tourists and the days are bright and sunny with mild temperatures. If you purchase property and take up residence in Provence, you will not have to worry about heavy heating bills in the winter, for even in the coldest month of the year, the temperature stays in a comfortable range.
Provence is also rich in history. Aurore Louineaux at Only Provence further elaborates, “Well before the arrival of Caesar’s legions in the first century BC, Greeks and Phoenicians fishermen and traders established villages along the coastline. The region received its name when it became a province of the Roman Empire. Many antiquities from the Roman era remain, as do churches, monasteries and cathedrals dating back to the Middle Ages. Many villages still have their original ramparts constructed in medieval times to ward off invaders.”
While it is best known for its countryside attractions, in recent decades Provence has evolved into one of the most sophisticated regions of France, thanks partially to the fact that many Europeans and North Americans rent seasonally or have purchased homes here. Marseille, France’s second largest city, is a major port and features world-class boutiques, as do Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, both of which are university towns. Orange, north of Avignon, and Aix are also famous for their summer opera festivals, and Avignon for its world-renowned theatre festival in July. Aix hosted a major Cézanne exhibition in the summer of 2006 that drew visitors from all over the world.… Read the rest
