It seems that everyone has a mobile phone these days, and the vast majority of users are familiar with reading and sending text messages. This presents an incredible opportunity for businesses to connect with their target audience through mobile marketing.
Jack Marketing Solutions™ (JMS™) is at the forefront of mobile marketing, boasting some of the most innovative and experienced marketers in the industry. We specialise in helping businesses harness the power of mobile technology to engage customers, enhance brand visibility, and ultimately drive sales. Whether you are new to mobile marketing or looking to refine your existing strategy, we can tailor a solution that fits your specific needs.
Why Mobile Marketing Matters
The rapid growth of mobile technology has led to mobile marketing becoming one of the most effective ways to reach customers. With advancements in mobile capabilities, marketers can now run campaigns that transcend carrier limitations, allowing brands to engage with a broader audience. Moreover, mobile marketing provides a unique opportunity for brands to monetise the mobile channel while simultaneously creating meaningful interactions with consumers.
Many businesses mistakenly believe that mobile marketing is only relevant to consumer-focused advertising. However, business-to-business (B2B) communications have also benefited from mobile strategies, offering the same advantages in reaching decision-makers effectively.

At JMS™, we offer a range of cutting-edge mobile marketing services designed to help brands establish a direct and engaging connection with their audience. Our services include:
- Mobile data content strategy development – Ensuring your brand’s mobile messaging is clear, engaging, and aligned with your business objectives.
- SMS (text messaging) marketing solutions – Delivering personalised marketing messages directly to your customers’ mobile devices.
- MMS (picture messaging) marketing solutions – Enhancing engagement with rich media content, including images and videos.
- Mobile website development – Creating mobile-friendly websites that optimise the user experience and drive conversions.
- Comprehensive mobile marketing strategies – Integrating multiple mobile tactics to maximise impact and improve customer interactions.
Case Study
As part of a comprehensive project, I worked with a client in the consumer retail sector who wanted to modernise their customer engagement approach through mobile. Their objective was to meet their audience where they spend the most time—on their smartphones—while ensuring a seamless and consistent brand experience across all touchpoints.
We began with a comprehensive review of their existing digital ecosystem. While their desktop site was performing reasonably well, their mobile experience was fragmented and underdeveloped. Working closely with their internal team, we first optimised their mobile website to improve speed, usability and conversion paths. This included a mobile-first design approach and streamlined navigation to make the experience intuitive and responsive across all devices.
Next, we collaborated on the development of a dedicated mobile app that offered loyalty tracking, personalised promotions, and real-time stock availability. This gave users a more tailored and engaging experience while encouraging repeat usage.
To support both platforms, we rolled out a segmented SMS marketing campaign targeting high-intent customer groups. These messages included time-sensitive offers and event reminders, with clear calls to action that brought customers directly to the mobile site or app. The campaign achieved strong engagement, with click-through and redemption rates exceeding industry benchmarks.
We also explored location-based services (LBS) to deliver hyper-local promotions, but after reviewing the data and customer privacy considerations, the client opted not to proceed.
The outcome was a cohesive mobile marketing strategy that enhanced brand visibility, improved engagement, and laid the groundwork for future innovation.
Key Benefits of Mobile Marketing
Implementing a mobile marketing strategy offers several distinct advantages, including:
- Direct and personalised customer engagement – Mobile marketing enables businesses to communicate directly with individual customers in real-time.
- Consistency across multiple channels – A well-planned mobile marketing campaign aligns seamlessly with other digital and offline marketing efforts.
- Higher customer interaction and response rates – Mobile messages often have higher open and response rates compared to traditional email marketing.
- The ability to send timely and relevant messages – Mobile marketing allows brands to engage consumers with personalised offers, reminders, and updates exactly when they are most likely to take action.
Understanding Key Mobile Marketing Terms
For those new to mobile marketing, the industry’s jargon may seem overwhelming. Below are some essential terms and their meanings:
- SMS (Short Message Service): Commonly known as text messaging, SMS allows for direct person-to-person (P2P) communication, as well as automated messages from businesses to consumers (A2P).
- PSMS (Premium SMS): A service where users are charged an extra fee for content, such as participating in promotions or purchasing digital goods like ringtones. These are still used, but less frequently.
- WAP (Wireless Application Protocol): Once a standard for mobile web browsing, WAP has largely been replaced by modern mobile-friendly website development.
- MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service): Enables users to send multimedia content, such as pictures, audio, and video clips, via mobile messaging.
- Mobile Video: Allows users to stream or download video content on their mobile devices, including TV clips, advertisements, and promotional videos.
- Mobile Advertising: Similar to digital advertising on desktop, mobile advertising involves placing branded content, banners, or interactive ads within mobile applications, SMS campaigns, or mobile websites.
Consumer Trust and Privacy in Mobile Marketing
One of the biggest concerns consumers have regarding mobile marketing is the potential for spam messages. However, the mobile industry has taken significant steps to ensure that consumer privacy and data integrity are protected. Through strict regulations, industry best practices, and adherence to mobile marketing guidelines, brands can create ethical and effective campaigns without overwhelming users with unwanted messages.
At JMS™, we prioritise compliance and ethical marketing practices, ensuring that all mobile campaigns adhere to established guidelines. Our founder, Thom Poole, played a key role in developing many of the UK’s mobile marketing standards, further solidifying our expertise in this field.
