VERIZON phones.
2) Set up an AdWords campaign on Google and an AdCenter
campaign on BING.
3) Target MOBILE devices and send results to your mobile site.
Copyright: The Spokes Agency 2012
Mobile Advertising: Search Ads
How to get started:
1) Keywords: Think about what your customers may be doing
when they start searching. Are they bored in a line (let me take
care of a chore like call my insurance company) or are they
LOOKING for your service (hungry - pizza restaurant).
2) Generally shorter tail – fewer keywords will be typed for the
search
3) Click to call should be enabled so they can skip the click and
call you directly.

MOBILE – What’s Important?
7 Tips to make your website work in Mobile:
1. Style for Mobile – Remember, different size screens
display differently. Use PROPORTIONAL units
rather than ABSOLUTE units. Retain visual
consistency with desktop site. Minimize scrolling.
2. Re-size images so big images are not pushed to
small screens. Link to the big image if they want it.
3. Automatically detect mobile devices and serve the
mobile version of the site.
4. Re-Prioritize Navigation. What’s important in mobile
might be very different from the desktop. Tel # and
address maybe at top instead of at bottom.
Copyright: The Spokes Agency 2012
MOBILE – What’s Important?
7 Tips to make your website work in Mobile:
5. Allow a mobile viewer a link to the FULL SITE. They
may not be able to find what they are looking for on the
mobile site. If they have an iPad, they may want to see
the full site.
6. Don’t Break Links. Show the EXACT content that a
search engine had sent a viewer too or else you may
create frustration.
7. Measure the Audience. Find out what devices your
visitors are using and optimize for those devices. Find
out what content they are viewing and raise that
content.

MOBILE App
What is an “App”?
An App is an Application, meaning Software Program,
that you download from a provider and use on your
mobile device.
Apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and
Android.
Apps are single purpose programs that allow your user
to do whatever you pre-determine they can do.
Copyright: The Spokes Agency 2012
Copyright: The Spokes Agency 2012
MOBILE App
Web apps or online apps can be a faster, cheaper, more
efficient way of deploying software in your
business. Rather than buying a software license, having
to install it on your servers or local computers, keeping
up with updates — all of which can be expensive and
take time — you can simply go online and sign up for an
account. In a few minutes you are using the
software. And typically you pay a monthly fee, meaning
that you don’t have to pay license fee up front.

Why build an app? +400% increase
in mobile revenue each month –
Hilton
• 57% of travelers want to check in
• 56% want to check out and
• over 50% want to change or cancel reservations on their
handheld
In recent months an exponential increase in mobile revenue helped
spur Hilton’s adventure into the iTunes store. Hilton Hotels have
seen more than 400% month to month increase in mobile
revenue since May, 2009 on their industry leading mobile
Website. Revenue has been $44 for every dollar spent on mobile.

Copyright: The Spokes Agency 2012
Basics of What to put in an APP:
• Simple, straightforward – one main function (or two or three
like Hilton
• Easy to Use
• Something that is buried in your website or something you
want to make easier.
• Something you want to charge for.
• To be “visible” in the iPhone or Android store!

MOBILE App v. MOBILE Web
Cons?
COST. $5K to $10k for one version of an App. $500 for
a “Mobile” Website.
Developer. You need to hire a developer. You likely
cannot build and put up an App.
