Mobile Marketing on a Budget for Small Businesses

If you are a small business considering going mobile with your marketing, there are many entry points from free to several $1000′s of dollars. With some creativity and a reasonable budget, mobile marketing can be done by any business.

FREE METHODS

To start off, if you are strapped for cash, the first thing you should do it optimize your Google Places Page. (Learn more about Google Places Optimization services at Trafficmills.com)

Having a Google Places page is free and for the most part, Google has already set up places pages for most businesses already (how nice!) but those pages need to be filled in with current info, pictures, coupons and reviews.

You should also publish your business listings for free at Bing and Yahoo too. Just spending about an hour or more filling in the details on these 3 sites could end up giving your site top placement for local search keywords that involve your services and products.

LOW COST METHODS

The next jump from free to low cost methods is to  use SMS marketing or text marketing.
