iPhone Marketing: Your Site Isn't On Their New iPhone?

Like to be on the 45 million iPhones Apple may sell in 2009? Woudn’t it be great to be able to put your site in the palm of their hand? According to Fortune magazine (11, June 2008) the experts estimate that Apple will sell betwee 10 and 45 million iPhones in 2009! This means people all over the world will be discovering the joys of surfing the net from the palm of their hand. Wouldn’t it be great if one of their favorite destinations was your blog? By now, we all know that the iPhone is revolutionizing the mobile phone market. It’s sleek, sexy and genuinely useful. However, you may not have stopped to think about what an amazing marketing tool it could be for your web. Thanks to the iPhone’s built in connectivity and Safari web browser, the millions of new users are discovering the joys of being permanently connected. Let me share a real life example that happened to me just last weekend. On the way home from a family outing, last Sunday afte oon our car “beeped” and a strange icon showed up on the dashboard indicator. Slightly startled, I pulled over and reached into the glove compartment to find out what was wrong. Of course, the car’s manual wasn’t there. Should we drive on? Find a gas station? Pray? No! Thanks to Daddy’s new iPhone, the answer was just three or four google searches away. This is a true story. The symbol indicated that the brake pads were getting worn (they’re now changed, thank you) and we were safe to keep driving home. The only thing my iPhone didn’t do was save me from a stea “talking down” by my wife. “Why isn’t the manual in its place, love?” Now you may be thinking, what does this story have to do with iPhone marketing? Actually, I just wanted to make you understand two important facts. In the first place, the iPhone is on a lot of people’s mind right now. It’s our new toy, we’re showing it off to all our friends and we’re eager to add as many nifty add-ons as we can. In the second place, the idea of being permanently connected and informed is really seductive. This trend is just starting off and you can benefit enormously. How much loyalty would you gain, if you’re readers installed a special icon and web application to their main iPhone screen? Wouldn’t it be great to give them a special reader which automatically put your latest posts conveniently at their disposal? That’s exactly what we’ve done for our website.
