The State of Mobile Communications

Evidence-Based Communications: The State of Mobile Communications

[object Object],The Evolution of Mobile Consumer use of mobile devices is growing exponentially – much faster than PC or Internet use grew – but U.S. businesses have been slow to take advantage of endless opportunities to optimize stakeholders’ mobile interactions with the brand. Possibilities for interacting with consumers via mobile go beyond delivering content and enabling transactions. Location-based targeting, real-time comparison shopping and QR codes allow businesses to interact with customers in novel ways.

[object Object],And, beyond customer engagement, mobile can make employees work more efficiently – both in and away from the office – by enabling business applications for mobile use beyond just email and calendaring. The first step is to optimize current digital content and communications for mobile use. But, ultimately mobile is about transforming how businesses and their stakeholders interact in a real-time, location-based way.
