The document discusses permission-based mobile marketing. It explains that permission-based marketing helps comply with regulations, build trusted relationships with customers, and increase loyalty, awareness, and profits. Interactive SMS is presented as an effective way to engage customers through a dialogue on their mobile phones. A five step process is outlined for implementing permission-based mobile marketing campaigns, including collecting opt-ins, qualifying and engaging customers, evaluating results, and creating a virtuous circle of permission. Case studies demonstrate how permission-based SMS campaigns increased opt-in rates and reduced opt-outs for mobile operators and retailers.
