Make Mobile Meaningful

Consumers Say 'Make Mobile Ads Relevant'
Consumers are more accepting of ads on their cell phone -- if they are relevant -- says a new report from mobile marketing company Enpocket.

In the study, some 78% of consumers said they would be happy to receive mobile advertising that is tailored to their interests. Of those, 64% would be willing to provide personal details if that data were analyzed to improve relevance of the ads. In addition, 58% of respondents would prefer banner ads displayed on mobile Internet pages to mobile marketing text messages.
