And also, mobile marketing being “mobile” is to be always on the move…always moving, so to speak. A very good example of this would be moving billboards or technological road shows. And because mobile marketing has a vast description, there is no accepted common description has ever been formally constructed or defined. However, they always refer it as the “use of a mobile as a medium to execute marketing communication.”
