Guardian Unlimited Business | Business latest | Company fined £40,000 over Crazy Frog advertisements

More Crazy Frog Fallout...

Interesting that ICSTIS is fining MBlox instead of Jamster - but more interesting is that the fine is only £40,000 plus the repayment of anyone who complains. This is a relative drop in the proverbial ocean in comparison to the £100K's that they made.

I've always been an advocate of proportional charging as a percentage of profit. If you fine a small company £40K they are out of business - if you fine a big company £40K they see it as a rounding error - a cost of doing business. If you fine someone 15% of their profit - then you're making a proportionate response that they can't ignore.

A few words about why we're here

Since consumers first started to use SMS marketers have had the idea of text message marekting or marketing sms - also known as mobile marketing. And since that time marketing sms messages have grown and changed and new technology like bluetooth marketing, marketing bluetooth style to phones in close proximity to an advertisers.

And since the e-mail spam scourge took over the media, people have worried that there will be mobile phone spam. Spam is just another way of saying that advertisers send unsolicited text message marketing, marketing sms, bluetooth marketing or any other form of mobile marketing - it's mobile phone spam. There are even guides on how to spam phone s.

Consumer Preference is about permission based marketing, permission marketing solution. If, as an advertiser you can execute permission based marketing campaigns then you can certainly find ways to benefit from mobile marketing. And permission starts with understanding the consumer marketing preference. If you can understand consumer marketing preference, then you can execute permission based marketing. And permission marketing is not mobile phone spam.

There are many mobile marketing company listings that can be found on the Internet - and most mobile marketing company websites will tell you how they focus on permission marketing. Make sure that the one you partner with does more than tell you about it on the website. Opt-in marketing starts with your traditional marketing soliciting for permission.

Yes - Mobile marketing starts with traditional marketing - print, web, radio, television - all of the old standards. Because before you can send the first message to a consumer, you must obtain their permission... and that means that you understand consumer marketing prefernce.
