Today I had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly Small, Co-Founder of Connective Mobile http://www.connectivemobile.com/.  Kim has brought a whole new meaning to the term “Mobile Marketing”.  This is a very cool idea and is actually giving me ideas on how to co-market our two products.  How cool would it be to receive a text message from your favorite restaurant sharing discounts or happy hour specials, or even a thank you for dining with them. 

This is permission based, opt-in, text message marketing.  We all have pda phones these days (if you dont, gotta get on the bus!).  I find that texting is a quick way to communicate.  One of the coolest ideas I have heard of is the “Pro-Lead Suite” for real estate agents.  Imagine sitting in front of a house that you want to get information on and you text a code to the 5 digit number on the sign.  You then get an immediate response back with the house info in it, just like a realtor flier, very cool!  Another great app that is being developed now is appointment reminders.  You would get a text reminding you of your salon appointment, dentist appointement, etc.  That is useful, atleast in my busy life.  How would you use this in your business?  Send me an email at nick@newcustomersforyou.com
