Why You Can't Afford to Miss a Moment...
More than six years ago, it was predicted by the then-CEO of Google that smartphone sales would surpass those of PCs. The prediction definitely came true and the ‘mobile-first’ culture is right here with us, influencing countless aspects of the world around us, every minute of the day. Now that the mobile era is so well established, as well as continually evolving, there is no option for marketers but to fully embrace it.
Using a mobile to access information online is now so common that we barely even take any notice of it. Though we may not, organisations like Google certainly are and they describe our mobile interactions as ‘mobile micro moments’, which can be accurately measured and used to further improve mobile strategy and thus performance. This measurement includes mobile traffic, engagement, conversion and revenue.
