The Truth About Mobile Phone Advertising Uncovered

With mobile phone advertising you can promote ring tones, games and other services. Lately though, you can even send specific promotions for your brand or service, even if it is not related to mobile phones. For example, if you are launching a new energy drink, you could send an ad to your target markets’ mobile.

Most of the time, a service like this is based on a subscription. You sign a contract with a mobile marketing agency, which then sends your ad or promotion as a text message (SMS) or MMS. If you prefer, you can even broadcast a message to the phone’s idle screen.

These ads aren’t just send to anyone. People have to register, notifying that they are willing to receive ads. Usually, they will need to fill in certain details like location, age, occupation, family members, interests, income, travel habits, type of phone… and much, much more. All these details allow you to target your market in a very precise way. For example, you could have 2 different ads, one for people with smartphones and one for people with iPhones.

A fairly new development is the concept of using the outside screen of a phone as some sort of billboard. In other words, while the user is talking on the phone, people standing next to him will be able to see an ad on the rear facing screen. This makes perfect sense as groups with the same kinds of interest or occupations have a tendency to flock together. This will be extremely interesting in highly populated areas.

Dumb Metrics in Customer Service

The damage caused by dumb metrics is immense in the construct of the customer service call centers. Metrics are surely useful to measure the performance of a customer service call center but if you are not right about having the right metrics, the whole process can go for a toss. It’s true that the metrics required for your project will be different from any other that you have worked on. Every single customer service outsourcing project has its own requirements. However, the basics remain the same. If you try to tailor-fit a metric on your project because your rival brand is doing so, it may backfire. It’s wise if the customer service planners chalk out the metrics that are essential for the project.

Most customer service call centers like to measure performance of the agents through call lengths. The general idea is that the more calls covered at the customer service call center, the better it is. That may be true to a certain extent. Calls at the outsourcing customer service desk need to be answered immediately. If the calls go into waiting mode or there is a backlog, it reflects poorly on the customer service outsourcing unit. Clients don’t like it either when their customers are calling the desk only to find the line busy. That is why the agents have to dispense off their calls promptly and move to the next one. But in this process, the customers who are on the phone feel rushed. In an effort to welcome the next caller, you are pushing through the present one! That is not a desirable situation at all. The customer service call centers have to be very careful about such lapses in choosing the right metrics.
