Do you remember what life was like before mobile phones?

1. You couldn’t just ring/text whoever you’re meeting and ask them how far away they are, you just had to wait and hope you were in the right spot and had remembered the right time? 2. You actually picked up the phone and spoke to your friends, rather than having a conversation via SMS – or better still, you have a conversation in person! 3. There were no ads at the beginning of movies reminding you to turn off your phone, or better still the phone belonging to the person who forgot didn’t go off in the middle of the film! 4. People didn’t feel the need to interrupt a perfectly good constructive in person conversations by tending to a small ringing device in their pocket/bag 5. You took for granted the peace and quiet of leaving your home/office and not being at the mercy of a phone 6. Words were spelt correctly and in their entirety! 7. It was common courtesy to break up with someone, fire someone, or quit your job – in the very least via a phone call rather than via SMS 8. Most computers weren’t even hooked up to the internet! 9. Having a conversation on a cordless phone meant staying within a certain radius of the base 10. Kids rode BMX’s!

It is fair to say that mobile phones have changed our lives in a BIG way! Mobile phones are fast becoming the personal computing device of choice amongst all sectors of the community.

I had quite a difficult time coming up with the above list, trying to remember what our lives were really like before the era of the mobile phone. Fast-forwarding from that point however, the days when the primary use for mobile phones was for just making calls are rapidly disappearing into the distance behind us also!

The not-so-humble mobile phone is now your gateway to the rest of world, apart from the obvious communication purposes of your phone – you can do your banking, browse the internet, buy products and applications, Facebook, tweet, get directions, share pictures and videos, the list goes on and on…

With our reliance on using mobile phone technology – how do we need to integrate this into how we promote ourselves to our customers?

The real question I want to leave you with is this one…
