Over 84 million American Mobile Subscribers Can be Reached by Mobile Marketing
With
an estimated 207 million mobile phone subscribers in the U.S., text message continues to be the most widely used mobile application and
is potentially the most powerful tool in mobile marketing. Mark Beccue
sizes up the market for mobile marketing in terms of the actual number of
consumers you can reach with various mobile data applications.
Based on Beccue's analysis, the addressable market of consumers for mobile marketing applications looks something like this:
-
Text Messaging: 84.8 million subscribers
-
Mobile Internet (sans email): 34.6 million subscribers
-
MMS (primarily person to person picture messaging): 26.9 million subscribers
Bottom line:
Marketers need to educate themselves about text applications and vendors
out there that can help them tap into the 84.8 million and growing
Americans predisposed to text messaging.
