The New Frontier of Mobile Marketing


December 7, 2010 – With the rapid explosion of the mobile market, mobile searches are bound to exceed desktop searches within a few years. Having both a mobile website and traditional website can truly harness the power of mobile marketing and distinguish your brand in its competitive market. The accessibility and convenience of mobile sites present a rich opportunity to instantly engage current and potential consumers to your business, while also providing additional SEO opportunities.

Mobile marketing represents the single largest marketing growth potential for hoteliers. eMax Hotel Internet Marketing recognizes that mainstream mobile marketing is the most targeted, immediate and relevant medium to inform, update and sell to customers.

Why the sudden mobile phenomenon? The mobile phone has revolutionized the way consumers engage in their daily lifestyle. Like the credit card once was, mobile phones have now become the new “don’t leave home without it” item. Remember, mobile users are just that – mobile. These customers expect a site that is simple and easy to browse within a few clicks from their phone. For optimum performance, eMax creates mobile sites that are optimized for compatibility across many mobile platforms.

Today, 5-10 percent of visitors to a hotel property's independent website are from mobile devices primarily searching for location, directions and contact information. As mobile reservations see a steady increase, eMax mobile websites link directly to the brand’s mobile reservation engines so traveling consumers can make reservations within minutes.

Benefits of optimized hotel mobile websites include:

  • Simplified version of mobile users’ most essential information
  • Clean, attractive interface
  • Direct link to brand reservations for the hotel; users see rates and availability for YOUR hotel, not every hotel within your market
  • Mobile analytics available to track mobile visitors’ usage and browsing habits
  • Automatically redirect mobile users to the mobile version of your site
  • Easy to use interface, optimized to use with a variety of input types (touch screen, cursor, number keys, etc)

eMax’s mobile website platform will set your hotel apart from the competition and generate more interest in your property. We have the experience to help you get more reservations! Learn more about eMax mobile websites: http://www.emaxhotelmarketing.com/mobile-websites-hotel.php
