brick&mobile, a global leader in mobile marketing reseller solutions, is proud to announce “Mobile Business in a Box“; a completely turn-key mobile marketing solution for local web firms, marketing agencies, publishers, digital entrepreneurs and virtually anyone looking to start a successful mobile marketing business.

As millions of people purchase the latest Android smartphones and shiny new iPads daily, we are witnessing the death of the personal computer as we know it. The latest IDC forecast estimates that by 2015 more U.S. Internet users will access the Internet through mobile devices than through PCs, and there are currently more mobile phones on the planet than televisions (source: Jupiter). With this paradigm shift to mobile happening faster than any other communication medium in human history, it has never been more important for local businesses to jump on the mobile marketing bandwagon.

According to Google, over one-third of all mobile searches are tied to local businesses, yet only a small fraction of the millions of small businesses around the world have a mobile friendly website. This mobile divide presents an unprecedented opportunity for local mobile marketing resellers and digital consultants to profit from the multi-billion dollar mobile marketing explosion.

“With local businesses going mobile in waves, reselling mobile web solutions is one of the most lucrative offline businesses seen since the dot-com days of the 90’s”, says Kevin Zicherman, President & CEO of brick&mobile. “Whether you’re an established local digital agency or a sprouting entrepreneur, our all-in-one Mobile Business in a Box suite of products allows anyone to offer premium mobile marketing solutions that deliver measurable results at a lower cost than ever.”

At the heart of Mobile Business in a Box is the Mobile Content Management System (Mobile CMS), an easy-to-use cloud-hosted web platform designed to create premium mobile websites optimized for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone. The platform provides advanced in-browser mobile features such as tap-to-call, GPS-enabled maps, embedded mobile video, real-time RSS feeds, mobile coupons and more. Further, unlike traditional apps, premium mobile websites are optimized for mobile SEO, can be updated in real-time with no coding required, and do not require a specific smartphone to operate, making them a perfect one-size-fits-all solution for local businesses.

However, mobile marketing doesn’t end with a mobile friendly website. The most successful mobile marketing strategies include a balanced combination of mobile web, text messaging, QR codes and other complementary touch-points to engage mobile users on the go. brick&mobile’s Mobile Business in a Box is a one-stop-shop for flexible pay-as-you-grow mobile reseller solutions, including:
