Mobile marketing covers every touchpoint on a phone. SMS can lead into a customer club, offer or practical follow-up, but it should not carry the whole experience on its own.

Design from the phone outward

Write for a small screen and link to a page that loads quickly and is easy to use with a thumb. Forms should request the minimum information and explain what happens next.

Give each channel a clear role

Use SMS for a concise and timely step, while the website provides detail and email carries content intended for later reading. Coordinate the campaign so recipients do not receive the same message unnecessarily often.

Build on trust

Obtain valid consent, set an expectation for content and frequency, and make opt-out easy. Use only the personal data needed for the particular communication.

Requirements for a good mobile page

The page should open quickly, use readable text and make the primary action easy without zooming or unnecessary navigation. Price, deadline and conditions must match the SMS. Test forms, payment and confirmation on an actual phone rather than only in a desktop window.

Measure the complete customer journey

Decide whether the objective is information, registration, purchase or another concrete action. Consider SMS clicks alongside what happens on the page, while limiting tracking to what is necessary and explained. Use the insight to remove friction rather than continuously collect more data.

A relevant next step

Make the next campaign more relevant

Plan recipients, wording, timing and follow-up as one coherent journey.
