Mobile Commerce is growing at a huge rate- in fact, Forbes Magazine predicts that Mcommerce will be a $300 Billion dollar industry by 2013.  Here is a quick way to put those numbers in perspective for you- that’s $300 Billion in 3 short years.  We’re talking about an explosion of Ecommerce proportions.

This is a really exciting time for consumers and business because goods and services are now available instantly. Want to order a pizza after a concert late-night? No problem- there are mobile applications that make it possible to identify pizza places that are open in your area, view the menu, pay for the pizza, and schedule the delivery before you even leave the parking lot. Your pizza could be waiting for you as you arrive home. This is an example of how mobile commerce is great for consumers-now lets talk about how this same scenario is excellent for businesses too.

Say you’re the owner of one of many pizza shops in your downtown area. What sets your business apart from your competitors is your large late-night menu, and your extra late delivery hours. Using a neat mobile application like our Mobile Store Maker, you are able to offer your full menu not only online, but via Smart phone as well. And with the Mobile Invoicer app, you’re able to take payment instantly from the phone too. And with a new application such as Mowbi, you can stay fresh in your customer’s minds when it counts the most- send a tweet with a special on Pepperoni Pizza only available from 12:30-130AM, and watch your orders come in. Why wait for customers to possibly think of you?

There are so many opportunities available with new mobile applications, that MCommerce clearly the next natural step for both businesses and consumers. This stretches beyond pizza joints and Mom & Pop Stores (while it certainly includes them). How could Mobile Marketing benefit your business?
