Location Marketing

 Social Media and other technology does not stand still.  Location, location, location is at the heart of today’s booming mobile marketing.

Smart Phones – Customers are increasingly looking for pizza, for mortgages, for haircuts, for daycare, for dental work, etc. on their smart phones.  5 years ago this was near impossible for most mobile phones. In 2011, it is estimated that half of the U.S. cell phone population will use a smart phone.  Mobile marketing IS the next big thing.  If your business does not show up in local search results, you will lose out.
