This technology and how it’s being presented puts an enormous amount of business power in the hands of our members, many of whom wouldn’t have the resources to develop their mobile presence on their own. As it is, not only can we offer our members access to this technology, but we can do it affordably and at the front end. This time, we’re poised to be the trendsetters and that’s very exciting to all of us here at FMA and all of our members.”

Not only does the free one page site attract the attention of a growing mobile audience, but it also creates a solid, optimized mobile presence. This service would typically cost thousands of dollars; however, access to this exciting tool is free for all FMA members.

FMA members also have more powerful commerce tools available that will allow them to take full advantage of the opportunities that mobile presents.  Members can choose from a menu of tools, such as Text Clubs, which facilitate opt-in Text Message Marketing; a Mobile Invoicing tool that allows businesses to use mobile phones to create and send invoices to customers; and members can even create full scale Mobile Commerce Websites, where consumers can purchase goods and services via mobile phone.  These cutting edge tools enable FMA members to customize their mobile sites with powerful modules that enable a business with a measure of agility unheard of in the past.
