Mobile Search
It is found that 46% of Americans check smartphones before getting out of bed. No wonder then that 52.2% of all online traffic in 2018 was from mobile phones. What does this mean for marketers?
Mobile optimization is a necessity. Make sure your marketing channels are optimized for mobile use, including your website, emails, and landing pages.
Presently, 60% of users discover products on Instagram. This predominantly photo-sharing site has billions of registered users that can become potential customers. User engagement on the platform is encouraging, with 75% of users taking action after a brand’s post, such as visiting the company’s website or clicking on a link to a landing page.
Marketers should realize Instagram’s potential in creating brand awareness, increasing engagement, and driving traffic to websites.
Video Content
Do you know that product videos can increase purchases by 144%? Not only that — almost 50% of users consult videos related to a product or service they are looking for before visiting a store. In fact, videos are projected to represent 82% of all internet traffic by 2021.
This is a huge wake-up call to many marketers. If you have not started producing video content across your digital channels yet, now is the best time to do so.
Mobile Advertising
While 70% of people dislike mobile ads, stats still show that 60% of consumers click on mobile ads at least weekly. It is also found that 2/3 of consumers recall a specific brand they have seen on a mobile advertisement. If done properly, mobile advertising can help a lot in increasing your ROI.
