See these 4 reasons mobile marketing can deliver for your business

  1. Mobile is the consumer’s tool of choice – US mobile users are spending 23 percent more time on their mobile device compared to what they did in 2013. You can also see this reflected in the chasm developing between mobile use and desktop: People are spending 2 hours and 51 minutes a day on mobile versus 2 hours and 12 minutes on a desktop.
  2. Mobile is imminently sharable – Mobile is by its very nature social, and this could result in the possibility that your content can have a far wider reach than you might have envisioned when you created it. Once someone shares your content, their followers and friends have the chance to share it with theirs, and so on.
  3. Mobile users are more apt to take action – Mobile users are prone to act. 70 percent of mobile searches result in an action within only one hour! They are often out and about, searching for products and services, and you need to be on their radar.
  4. More people will see or open your messages – Since now over 90 percent of American adults own a cell phone and 42 percent have a tablet, more of your communications are going to be opened. Text messages can reach people where phones might not, and an astounding 98 percent of texts are opened within one hour.

We’ve morphed into a world where many more communications take place in a far more compressed time period. Your business must be mobile to stay competitive.
