Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular every day. They’ve already passed personal computers in popularity. That being said, mobile shopping is on the rise too. Does your band have a mobile site to sell band merch? If not, you shouldn’t wait any longer.
Imagine this situation: You are on a small tour and have 200 vinyl records to sell. Halfway through the tour, you run out. Your fans still want copies of the record, but you don’t have any to sell. What do you do? This is where the mobile store comes in. Even if you’re out of copies on hand, fans can order with a mobile phone on the spot. They don’t even need to remember your web address and then remember to log on and buy a copy when they leave the gig.
Here are a few great uses for mobile sites:
- Fans buy at shows, sometimes before you even get off stage
- Fans buy an album after seeing an album flyer
- A friend recommends your band to someone who wants to purchase your album immediately, but isn’t near a computer
Those are just a few good uses for a mobile site and there are many more. Plus, mobile sites are just a good idea in general with mobile shopping becoming so popular.
One merch shop provider we recommend is MyMinto. If you build a merch store with them, you automatically get a mobile-enabled site for your band. You can get a free MyMinto account here.
