Mobile data - It's not just SMS any more...

Nemsic targets growth from data usage - News Analysis - Mobile Europe:

"At the moment, 21% of our revenues come from all data services, and 8-9% of revenues come from SMS, so we are now generating much more revenue from data other than SMS."
Very interesting quote here but of course I would like to see a bit more of a drill down to get a genuine understanding of the revenue.

How much is mobile data traffic versus mobile data content?
Does the 8-9% include Premium SMS - or only P2P SMS?

Operators who can achieve 21% of revenue from mobile data with only 8-9% from SMS deserve more attention for sure as they may have a model that can be replicated to others.

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.
