Yes, mobile is certainly worthwhile when executed correctly.  The perception is that mobile messaging is invasive, annoying, and some other negative adjectives.  The truth is that when mobile messaging is non-permission based; it is all those things.   The way in which mobile can greatly enhance any campaign is by developing a 100% Permission based strategy, commonly referred to as “Opt-In”.  With the Opt-In permission given by your customer, you can now begin to collect the names and phone numbers to start building a database of interested potential customers.  Use this database for any future sales, discounts, news, and other info that you may want to relay to your customers.  Engage customers and interested prospects with loyalty and retention based programs and drive more traffic into your business with the mobile channel.  Connect with current customers, generate new ones, and experience an increase in profits!
