My last Blog post was all about using Mobile friendly websites aka wmjhartman.mobi.

This tool was introduced to me by a few different people across the web and locally here in Fort Wayne, In.
After looking at a number of Sites, the one thing I noticed was they look nice but how do I get people to access them.

Heres the Problem – as more and more mobile applications become available, how do I get you to open my mobile app / site?

A friend of mine recently bragged about having 240 plus applications on his smart phone.  How do I get him to open mine at noon on any given day?  Than it hit me!  Let’s add another tool to the mix.

First – They save your site to their homepage on their phone or add your mobile phone to their favorites.

Second – Heres the SUCCESS factor, the tool that makes it all happen.  TEXT Program that they opt into via their mobile phone.

Here is an example that makes it happen:  Local coffee chop called “New Ground Coffee Company”  Advertises in the shop for people to subscribe to their Mobile VIP Club – text NGCC to 90210, immediately they receive a text response.  ( try it now  -   you can always opt out )  Now they can send specials and promotions via text to your phone.

Here is where Mobile Websites come in, visit http://www.newgroundcoffeecompany.mobi this is the address of the home page. ( check it out )
Now if he sends a text that includes a link that will open directly to the COUPON on the site, he will increase traffic to his site and STORE.
