The 90210 Texting Buzz
You’ve heard of the zip code 90210. Or the hit teen T.V. show from the 90′s. You also may have heard of Dr. 90210. But there is a new 90210 that is making a hit and will have even more significance than those listed above. We want to take a minute to introduce you to it.
The new 90210 is all about mobile. Listen for it, its coming…no, it’s here! And it’s all about texting and much more than that. It’s a new way to market your business. It’s about getting your brand in front of your customers like never before. Imagine getting your message to your customers in real time on their mobile devices. And the chances of your customer actually seeing your message is far greater than email. In fact, 95% of text messages are opened and done so within the first 15 minutes of receiving them. Think about it…who do you know who does not have a mobile device? And who do you know that does not text on those mobile devices? I was conducting a meeting last week and as people came in the sat down in their chairs and the very next thing they did was take out their mobile devices. As I glanced the room their was not a single person there who was not on their mobile device waiting for the meeting to begin. Like it or not that is where we are. So why not take advantage of it and start reaching our customers with our message right where they are…on their mobile devices.
How do you get started using text marketing? Sign up with to use the 90210 platform. Once you do you can personalize your keyword. Once you personalize your keyword start promoting it by telling people to text “yourkeyword (replace with your keyword) to 90210. Then all you have to do is decide on what you want to communicate to your subscribers.
Here is a real life example of how you would use 90210 in your business. Let’s say you own a restaurant and you are having a slow day. You take out your mobile device and decide that you are going to offer a lunch special from 11am – 2pm. You put that into a text message and hit send. Then all your customers who have subscribed to your keyword will receive that message. Imagine the possibilities that one text could have on your slow day. It’s a powerful way to take a slow day to a potentially busy one. This is the power of text messaging…this is the power of 90210! And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Mobile Marketing
Tonight we made a bold move. We removed our “join our email list” form from our website and replaced it instead with an option to sign up for our text updates. I have to be honest it was kind of weird. Partly because email marketing has been all we knew. But one thing we have learned is that technology is moving faster than light and as technology changes we need to be willing to take a honest look and make changes when change makes sense. For us this change makes perfect sense and we are ready and excited to see what happens. There is no denying that the mobile revolution is upon us and that there has been a major shift in which people interact with each other and with your brand. We need to pay attention as business owners. The cost is to great and if we sit around waiting to see what happens it will be to late. We need to embrace mobile marketing and learn how to use it to our advantage. Here we will take some time to talk about mobile marketing and our mobile marketing service. All of which played a major role in our decision to remove our email newsletter option from our website.
In November 2009, the Mobile Marketing Association updated its definition of Mobile Marketing:
“Mobile Marketing is a set of practices that enables organizations to communicate and engage with their audience in an interactive and relevant manner through any mobile device or network.”
We will not take time here to discuss all the options available to us in mobile marketing. Instead we will focus on one aspect of mobile marketing and that is using text messaging as a communication platform for delivering targeted marketing messages. Once a person opts in to receive your messages you can start sending coupons, event and/or company news, reminders, holiday greetings, alerts, or other time sensitive information directly to their mobile phones.
SMS (Text) messaging is the most prevalent form of mobile marketing. Studies show that 91% of the U.S. population are using some type of wireless device. And the percentage of those phones being capable of sending and receiving text messages is at 96%.
Our mobile marketing services help you distribute time sensitive information – right to your customers. And the success rate of your customers actually seeing your message is much greater with a read rate of 95% within the first 15 minutes. With mobile marketing using text messages you are sure to get your message out and read by your customers at a much faster rate. Get your message delivered to your customers right where they are -on their mobile devices. I do want to make one comment. By no means do I think that email marketing is dead -yet. It is still an option. However, it will be interesting to see what happens over the next few months and years. I am also curious to see how long it will take other Ohio web design companies to take the leap and to step up their mobile marketing game
