You can see the importance of using social media like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and a hundred other…but who has the time? Your already a busy small business owner who uses every single minute of the business day taking care of the details of your operation, looking after staff, keeping track of inventory, organizing materials for the accountant, and just generally trying to keep it all afloat during these tough economic times.

I own and operate the Landing Bar & Grill on Quadra Island, so I also know that you probably also spend sometime working on (or in) your business on the weekends and in the evenings from home too! Not to mention finding the time to spend “quality time” with family, friends, personal well-being, or even to read a good book! S o, for the love of all that’s reasonable, who has the time to spend 1-3 hours a day on Facebook or Twitter?

The ironic thing about social networks and media is that for these marketing techniques to be effective in building your business – you must do exactly that…spend the time keeping the content fresh and interesting. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter work so well because the content is changing every single second and often hundred of times every minute. The people who use these media, your customers, love them so dearly because they are great source of stimulation, news & events, ideas, opportunities, and often just plain silly and ridiculous.

They are also the “New Communities” of our modern world. Love them or hate them – these new online communities are here to stay! You better be a part of them or your business will suffer, or at least not reach it’s full potential…which could mean life or death or your business.

Time are changing faster than you can keep up with!

I hate to drop this in your lap…or maybe, if you really think about it, you’ll be happy that I did.  Nonetheless, if you are a business in Campbell River you need to start considering how you are going to use your mobile phone to promote your business…this article is a primer for what’s to come.  You need to start paying attention to this new marketing and business promotion tool and opportunity.

The key to delivering mobile content — and ultimately trying to make money off of it — is to remember you’re not dealing with the Web anymore. With new smart phones being released almost every week, the multi-billion dollar global mobile content market continues to grow into a huge money making opportunity for Canadian and global companies.

The mobile industry provides “the greatest economic opportunity of our careers … of our life times,” author and evangelist, Tomi Ahonen had told a captive audience at Mobile Media World Conference last September.  Ahonen cited an Informa Telecoms and Media research finding that the global mobile content industry, in 2008, was worth US$71 billion (around Can$75 billion).

He emphasized that the $71 billion figure is only for mobile content market revenues, and doesn’t include revenues from text messaging or mobile data. “Let’s put that in context. [Mobile content is worth] two-and-a-half times more than the total content industry on the Internet.”

Hollywood movies, he noted, are collectively worth a little less than $30 billion, the global music industry about $25 billion, and the global video gaming industry (the actual games), around $20 billion.

“And mobile content alone is worth as much as all those three – total worldwide Hollywood movies, music sales, video gaming software revenues – put together.”

While opportunities to make money on mobile abound to harness these Canadian entrepreneurs need to cultivate the appropriate strategies. One of the fundamental principles of distributing mobile content is to remember that one size doesn’t fit all in the smart phone game, said Michael Carter, president and CEO of Toronto-based MyThum Interactive.

This means that companies won’t be able to design a piece of content or an app to work with every mobile device on the market. He added that creating a singular mobile experience and then just porting it over to different mobile phones overlooks the hundreds of different device characteristics both across and within handset manufacturers.

“A best practice is to find a partner that is capable of optimizing the visual and functional experience for the consumer, dynamically based on the handset’s characteristics,” Carter said.

“The mobile experience on an iPhone will be very different than on a three-year old Motorola RAZR.”
