How do I get started with mobile advertising?
Promoting your brand

With mobile ads you are also not restricted to certain geographical boundaries so you can run your campaign basically anywhere and at anytime.
Customer acquisition
Once you have established awareness for your business, it’s time to start getting customers on board. Simply advertising your brand these days doesn’t necessarily mean people are going to flock to your business. It’s important to start engaging with your target audience.
