Mobile Advertising: What?s Working, What?s Not and Why this Year is Breakout
With more than $1 billion in mobile advertising revenue clocked last year through mobile Web, mobile applications, SMS and mobile video, expectations are high for 2011 numbers: a doubling or even more. The reasons are many, chief among them a broader understanding among Fortune 500 advertisers and beyond that they need to be where consumers are: on mobile. Inventory on mobile publisher sites is up, ad units are getting more sophisticated and engaging, and ROI is increasingly being proved on calls to action. Indeed, this is the Golden Age of Mobile Advertising.

SMS: How the Workhorse of Mobile is Transforming CRM/Database Marketing and Store-Based Retail
Perhaps the one tool that has established itself as the backbone of mobile CRM is SMS.

Convincing a mobile customer to share his or her number to receive offers and updates is a coup for smart marketers. After all, mobile is the most personal communication and marketing medium ? even more than email, which is the online CRM workhorse. As the speakers in this session will prove, targeted, opt-in mobile marketing via SMS pays dividends.
