How to Make Mobile Marketing Work for your Business
One of the main reasons the mobile platform is gaining momentum as a marketing tool is because of its enormous growth potential. The number of mobile phone users is almost double that of PC owners — and growing exponentially every year.
Mobile marketing is fast becoming the most feasible way to boost sales, spread awareness about your business, and create customer loyalty. Keep in mind however, that mobile marketing campaigns may require more capital that you had planned. You don’t want to spend money only to put out a lackluster campaign.
How Mobile Marketing Works
Opt-in SMS (Short Message Service) campaigns are one of the most popular and widely used mobile marketing strategies. It’s simple and effective. Customers voluntarily provide their cell phone number to business so that they can receive special promotional offers and alerts as text messages.

International Business Development: Applying Managerial Skills to Social, Environmental, and Health Care Problems
Sebastian Teunissen [Executive Director, Clausen Center for International Business and Policy, UC Berkeley]
Abstract:
Technological advances are helping to create new solutions for some of the gravest problems facing developing countries. Whether the objective is to improve living conditions, eradicate disease or fight poverty, technologies have shown gratifying results. The individual s involved are incredibly talented and dedicated engineers, scientists, doctors or educators. But, rarely, are they equally prepared to be managers of the organizations whose creation their innovations so frequently spark. All too often, the challenges of managing the organizations themselves diminish the effectiveness of the underlying solution. Our program has helped many such managers by developing business plans, marketing strategies or related projects that help to guide the organization towards its goals in a more efficient and cost effective manner. This presentation will describe a number of these projects, the challenges they faced and suggested solutions.
