The document discusses SoLoMo, which stands for Social, Local, and Mobile marketing. SoLoMo refers to integrating a business's social media platforms, physical location, and customers' mobile devices. This allows businesses to target customers with contextual and location-based promotions. Examples are given of companies using SoLoMo, like an app providing guided city tours to tourists on public transportation. The document predicts that SoLoMo will be more widely adopted by companies in the next two years as mobile device usage increases and more daily tasks are integrated onto mobile platforms.

8. SoLoMo in the next 2 years
In
the
next
2
years,
I
believe
that
SoLoMo
will
be
used
by
different
companies
here
in
the
Philippines
and
abroad.
SoLoMo
will
be
a
staple
and
a
need
for
these
companies
because
with
the
technological
advancements
and
the
people’s
rampant
use
of
their
mobile
devices,
it
is
possible
that
people
can
do
everyday
transac9ons
with
the
use
of
their
mobile
device.
9. SoLoMo in the next 2 years
I
also
believe
that
more
applica9ons
will
be
created
to
integrate
tasks
not
usually
done
using
mobile
devices.
Adver9sers
will
certainly
make
use
of
SoLoMo
in
aDrac9ng
consumers
to
try
and
bye
their
products.
