Immediacy
We now have the ability to know when someone arrives or departs:
Walk into a store, get presented with a couponDriving near a location, get sent an offer

Don’t make people search for their location, find it for them

Simplicity
If you’re developing cross-channel marketing campaigns, make sure people can actually use them across channels:
Mobile ads should point to mobile web sitesEmail should be readable on mobile devicesPresent content to the user that’s applicable to their current environment:
Location-awareDevice-friendly
Make it Usable

Context
Relevancy is huge with mobileGive users what they’re asking for:
LocationsDirectionsCouponsMedia, etc.
When they’re not asking for things, be smart
Be Relevant!

Mobile is a Piece of the Pie

Use mobile as a part of integrated campaigns:
Mobile + SocialMobile + Direct MailMobile + Print Advertisements
