Great info. Mobile marketing is extremely powerful for both individual marketers and businesses with repeat customers. It's a real money maker, and I have a lot more helpful info about it on my sites www.youaccomplish.com and www.ifuzemarketing.com/textmessagemarketing.
Mobile marketing is an exciting development that offers new marketing strategies that could replace internet marketing, online marketing and email marketing. It provides a direct and personal contact with customers.
