Abstract
In the digital era, mobile technology has revolutionized marketing practices across urban and rural markets. Rural small scale enterprises, which form the backbone of India’s grassroots economy, are increasingly leveraging mobile marketing strategies to enhance their market reach and profitability. With the rapid growth of smartphone penetration and affordable internet connectivity, mobile marketing has emerged as a cost-effective and accessible promotional tool. This study investigates the impact of mobile marketing on sales growth and customer expansion among rural entrepreneurs. Using primary data collected from 120 respondents, statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and t-test were applied. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between mobile marketing adoption and business performance indicators. The study concludes that mobile marketing acts as a catalyst for sustainable rural entrepreneurship development.
