In another related ‘Mobile VoIP’ article read here about how in 2009, shoppers spent about half a billion dollars on mobile marketing and publicity. According to the estimation from ABI Research (News – Alert), by the end of 2015, the expenses will grow at a compound annual rate of over 40 percent.
Neil Strother who is the mobile marketing strategies practice director said that “Compared to campaigns in more traditional media, mobile marketing can be relatively inexpensive.
