privacy regulations • Integrate mobile with existing CRM data—you should work with a Master Persona of your
customer • There is no such thing as mobile marketing—only mobile enabled marketing. Integrate
mobile campaigns with other digital and traditional media. • Leverage the power of customer mobile opt-in via the Internet to capture preference and
profile for future segmented messaging • Understand the regional adoption of handsets and their feature adoption with your target
customers • Understand mass marketing vs. niche marketing in mobile
Conclusion: The challenge and opportunity of mobile marketing for financial services is to discover what content or information is valuable to the customer, and then delivering it quickly and conveniently to their mobile device…it is not advertising as we’ve know it.
For financial services, this will be dominated by utility, with other opportunities to engage.
