No matter what your age, you are probably among the growing population who now own a mobile phone.

And these mobile phone users are doing business right where they're standing. Industry research says that 85% of customers completing mobile transactions expect faster and better service on their mobile device than they receive on their PC.

There are many paths a customer takes to get to the ultimate destination of a purchase. From seeing an advertisement that gives them the idea to consider your brand to looking for post-purchase assistance, the customer encounters various touch points and any number of events that determine the course they’ll take.

Therefore, brands need to ensure that they are engaging with their customers across every channel, personalizing the experience with knowledge of each customer’s journey history.

 It's The Most Sensible Decision You Will Ever Make 

Start Building Your Mobile Presence Today!

QR Codes in themselves are already user-friendly because they help your offline customers connect with a business online presence. By simply scanning a code they’re able to connect online to a website, landing page, a video or other web presence instead of writing or memorizing an URL address. However, there are some ways a business owner can make their QR Codes even more user-friendly and increase conversions.

1. Make them very visible in your offline marketing material so that they stand out and are easy to scan. For example, store front stickers should be about 1ft square in size so that they can be seen from a distance. If you put codes into your newspaper or magazine ads, they should be positioned in a central area of the sales copy and not off in a little corner. A QR code is a call to action to do something so make sure it is not invisible and difficult to scan.

2. Make your QR Codes visually stimulating and eye-catching by using color. Instead of just sticking to the plain black and white, you can try using other colors. For example, you can use your business colors or colors that relate to the theme of your marketing message. This packs a more visual punch and creates more curiosity from your customers.

3. It is always safe to assume that not everyone knows exactly what QR Codes are. Despite their obvious benefits, QR Codes have not caught mainstream attention like they have in Europe and Japan. Therefore, it is best to educate people so that they know what to do when they see your QR Code. You can include instructions that explain that one needs to download a free QR Code reader from their mobile app store and then use that to scan the code using their mobile phone camera.

4. Finally one should make sure that the destination pages are mobile friendly. If your website or landing pages are not mobile friendly, it will be difficult for mobile users to read the information on their small mobile screens. The same goes for videos. Upload them to YouTube that already has mobile friendly versions of all uploads rather than just hosting the video yourself. Facebook and Twitter are already mobile - friendly so any directs to them will be readable.

is to give things away for free. Some marketers will tell you that this is a waste of time and if you already have a list of one hundred thousand people that you can market to, then it probably is. But for those who don't already have a list, this is the best way that it gets built! Then simply advertisement and promote your freebie.

No, it's not a waste of your time or your money, it's investing in your business and future earnings.

Autoresponders are one of the most important marketing tools that you can have if you are doing business online. In fact, the only thing more important that the autoresponder is your opt-in list! But all autoresponders start out without a list, the list doesn't exist until your autoresponder mailing list starts filling up with names and email addresses!

 
Give away an ezine, free reports, free eBooks, free access to private websites, or anything else that you can think of. The object is to get people to sign up to receive that freebie, and to agree to receive an email from you in the future!

It is a win-win situation for everyone, but you get more than anyone else in the deal. The person gets a freebie. You get their name and email address, and permission to email them in the future.

But if you do it right, you get even more than that.

The freebie that you give away should also be used to promote your products or services. Even if it just has affiliate links for products or services that are related to the topic of the freebie, it is a way to generate extra revenue. Then, when you send email in the future, you can again promote your products or services.

Just be sure to include valuable information in the email as well, or you will have people dropping off of your autoresponder mailing list like flies!

Using every opportunity that is presented to you in the world of Internet Marketing is vital to your success.

You have the opportunity to earn money in the freebie that you create, you have the opportunity to earn money when you send the thank you email after a person has requested your freebie, and you have the opportunity to earn money every time an autoresponder message is sent out to that list in the future!

Don't waste those opportunities, and put it all in automatic mode with the use of an autoresponder.
