Afterword

There are so many things you need to know being marketer in order to identify with your customer’s behavior and act accordingly. Every statistic has a message for you, for instance, when it says “40% of mobile consumers turned to a competitors site after a bad mobile web experience “ , it tells you that how important it is to give a good mobile web experience to your users. So, if you don’t want to lose a large part of your consumer base I mean those who are on mobile, you have to work hard to give users the best possible experience by having a mobile compatible website or say responsive website with all other mobile compatible features.

Let’s take one more stat for instance here that says’70% of all mobile searches result in action within 1 hour’. So what does this mean? It means that customers find it easier to enact upon their research of buying a product on mobile than other devices and so a well optimized website meant for instant gratification brings you more customer in lesser time by giving no chance to customer to move away for any reason such as disconnect in the process of buying, a mood change or just anything of that sort.

“Although mobile marketing is growing fast but it is not the saturation and that it is evolving every day signaling that you need to continue to improve and adjust your strategy accordingly.”
