So the first and the foremost thing that you must take into consideration before kick starting your mobile marketing campaign is to make your site mobile friendly. That is, you must ensure that the menus and content display well and that can’t be achieved unless you have a mobile friendly theme.
Design mobile friendly content: You must create your content keeping in mind what mobile users want to read while on the go. Most mobile devices display content on a tiny screen. They have no business with your About page. They have business with why they came to your site in the first place. Writing good, persuasive and precise headlines is one way to do it. In mobile phones you don’t have the luxury of a wide desktop screen. Your headlines need to be short and crisp to garner maximum customer attention. E.g.
