Iamota, a mobile application service provider, recently launched a service called ‘Iamota Impact’. This service is targeted toward retailers and small business owners and it will help them come up with effective mobile marketing campaigns. Iamota is confident that their service will find lots of takers as mobile advertising is considered hot in the retail sector.
With this service, retailers will be able to create an account in Iamota’s website. Through this, they will have access to a number of mobile users with whom they can interact and try to sell their products or services. They can send text messages with product information, discount coupons, contests, polls, and so on. All this is done on an opt-in basis, which means mobile users will have the choice to opt in or opt out of any of these marketing campaigns. This means a win-win situation for both the retailer and the end user. While the retailer is able to target his consumers more effectively, the consumers have the right to either accept or deny his offers, thus making it extremely easy for both the parties involved.
As of now, this service works with Alltel, AT&T, Boost, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Virgin Mobile. The makers of Iamota Impact are confident that their service will reduce the complexity in the mobile channel and help business owners reach their target consumers more effectively without spending big bucks.
In my opinion, services like this, which are targeted toward retailers and small business owners, are extremely important for the growth of mobile marketing and advertising industry, as retail industry is one industry which can use mobile advertising and marketing very effectively to its advantage.
