			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" src="http://rlevinmarketinggroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/iphone_search.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="160" />Mobile marketing looks like it will finally get attention and marketing dollars. Why? Smartphones &amp; Apps have changed the way consumers behave, which affects their buying decisions and how they choose to get their information. The iPhone 3GS, became the top-selling handset in the US in 2009. In its Q3 earnings call Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt said that the company had seen “30% quarter-over-quarter growth in mobile searches in the third quarter.” Next year the US mobile Internet will cross 100 million users without too much trouble, according to a report in Search Engine Land this month.</p>
<p>TIP: Why not offer a mobile coupon on your Google map listing? Great for retailers, small business owners and anyone thinking creatively to literally drive sales and traffic.</p>
<p>Think about your own behavior. How often do you use your iPhone or smartphone to search and find information and deals? Have you tried RedLaser App? For $1.99, this handy barcode scanner app let’s you scan any barcode and you’ll immediately find the cheapest price &amp; a store that’s closest to you. Compare low online and local prices from hundreds of thousands of retailers. Recently I used this app while shopping for a coffeemaker, and found a savings of 10-60% less than the store I was standing in. Instant gratification versus savings, hmm?</p>
<p>Tip: You’ll want to get in front of this audience too via text or perhaps get an app made for your business. Ask me for detail.</p>
