Mobile Marketing

Consumers all over the world have come to rely on their mobile phone as an essential communications tool. They personalize it, take it everywhere they go, and many cannot imagine living without it. According to Aberdeen Group's research done in 2006, with over 1 billion SMS exchanged per month worldwide, 81% of enterprises surveyed identified SMS as key to satisfying customer needs.

Forrester Research has also shown that SMS is one of the most responsive marketing communications mediums, with 5 times better response rates than direct marketing.

The following features of SMS turn a well-planned mobile marketing campaign into a powerful tool:

• SMS messages can be sent and read at any time.
• SMS messages can be sent to an offline mobile phone.
• SMS messaging is not intrusive.
• 100% of GSM mobile phones support SMS messages.
• SMS messages are capable of carrying binary data besides text (e.g. ringtones and logos).
• Two-way SMS allows customers to reply to messages.
• SMS supports reverse billing & premium campaigns.

Mobile Banking

It is imperative that banking and payment institutions offer their customers mobile banking facilities - today. The 2008 Juniper Research report on the mobile financial sector predicts that over 800 million people will use their mobile phones to access banking and payment services by 2011. As a result the number of mobile banking transactions is expected to increase to 37 million by the same year.

"A 2009 report states that more than three quarters of consumers want access to their bank account balances and other financial information at all times. This trend is ignored by financial institutions at their peril."

The mobile phone is the most ubiquitous communication device on the planet - nearly everyone has one and keeps it near them wherever they are. SMS text messaging is a preferred form of communication for many people today and SMS banking applications are easy to use, affordable to implement and offer fantastic benefits to both customers and banks. Some examples of SMS mobile banking services include balance enquiries, fraud and transaction alerts, funds transfers and bill payments. As more consumers purchase and become comfortable with WAP-enabled phones, the potential for more complicated transactions will present itself.

Not only does mobile banking offer great flexibility for banking customers enhancing their loyalty to your brand, it also offers fantastic advantages to financial institutions. Mobile SMS banking can generate additional income for the institution as well as reduce risk, thus saving more money. Any forward-looking financial institution needs to be providing mobile banking services in order to gain a competitive advantage while they still can and be poised for unfolding opportunities.

Mobile Insurance

More than half the people on the planet have mobile phones and are choosing to use them as their primary form of communication. This means that all industries need to be geared up to offer mobile solutions in order to keep their customers and attract new ones. The insurance industry, in particular, faced with the increased costs of communication and the increased demand from customers for efficient and fast interaction need to add a mobile component to their insurance offerings.
