generate feelings of frustration, anxiety, calm, entertainment, education,
information?”

and graphic design are often less consuming from a creative production
standpoint.”

Instead of creating a mobile
website, create a website
that adjusts itself for
mobile and other
devices.

19. Your Plan of Attack!
What about Utility Marketing?
Putting content and information in
your marketing material that your

Utility Marketing Content…
This is the stuff that your target audience needs.

22. Your Plan of Attack!
Tools or tools.
Don’t use a tool simply
because its shiny and new.
Use it because it fits,
helps you achieve your
goals, and is useful for
your audience.

23. Your Plan of Attack!
Strategies instead of tools…
1. Use a QR code to enhance not as your mobile marketing campaign.
2. Use mobile landing pages specific to a campaign
3. Remember that you have an audience with audiences (credit: Brian
Solis). Think about content that will be shared.
4. Encourage interaction with the tools available.
