  • Development of mobile website

  • Text messaging
  • Mobile advertising
In addition towards the above, you can also come up with innovative suggestions. Most of the companies in the mobile marketing business provide a package which comprises multiple services. I recommend you to offer only those services in that you've expertise, because if you offer some service, and you aren't able to deliver, then it will be detrimental to your organization. Once you have made the business plan, and completed your services, you should acquire all the licenses required to run your business.

Establish Relationships

  • Convince them, and get a contract.
To establish a relationship with service companies, you should:
  • Contact the popular service providers with regards to the services that you intend to provide.
  • Discuss the actual terms of associations, and sign an agreement.
Remember that the business runs on your clients and the service companies, so do maintain a good relationship with them.

Be aware: Try to customize your services according to your customer.

Create an Application
In modern times, you need to have your own mobile application to reach the the surface of the mobile marketing business industry. If you have your personal application, you will not have to completely rely on providers for your business. You will easily find experts within application development. With the help of the application developer create a user-friendly application. This application can be based on any kind of topic like travel, health, etc. Once the application is done, you should make a website to support it. Ask the web designer to create a website which is attractive and interactive. The website will also grow to be a platform for your business. After your website is actually ready, you should start promoting your application on each and every platform available. When the application becomes popular, you will certainly be approached by many clients.

With innovation, skill, determination and effort, you will surely become one of the best (if not the best) in the commercial. Remember, luck favors those who are dedicated towards their own work, so if you want luck on your aspect, then you should give your 100 percent.
