It’s as if smartphones and tablets were invented just for you, to help you communicate better, work more productively and build your business more effectively. From a marketing standpoint, the primary takeaway here is that your customers are just as mobile as you are.

 

You can’t reach them if your marketing isn’t mobile-oriented and mobile-friendly. So you have to budget accordingly. If this is new territory for you, here are some mobile-specific statistics to help you justify that new marketing budget.

  1. Mobile traffic is expected to increase ten-fold over the next five years.
  1. Just this year alone, industry experts predict mobile advertising will increase 75%. Mobile will then account for a quarter of all the money spent worldwide on digital ads. Most of that is going to Facebook and Google. Considering this explosive growth rate, you know your competitors are going mobile with their marketing. You can’t afford to be left behind.
  1. Of the time consumers spend on the internet, almost 60% is via a mobile device rather than a desktop or laptop computer. So if your marketing doesn’t include mobile channels, you could be missing more than half your opportunities to connect with prospects and existing customers. Ouch.

  1. Facebook and its companion Instagram report more users connect via mobile devices than through their desktop or laptop. And as a side note, you can now target Facebook advertising in highly refined ways, making it an option to seriously consider for marketing your truck or equipment dealership.
  1. Twitter is all about mobile, with 75% of their users logging in from mobile devices. Maybe it’s time to create a mobile ad campaign just for Twitter, measure the results and see what happens.
  1. Mobile searchers are near-term shoppers. Studies show 70% of them follow up within an hour of their initial search. If your website isn’t optimized for mobile users, they will become frustrated and go somewhere else.
