18. As marketers, we’re clearly missing
opportunities to:
• Reach new audiences…and create a
closer connection to existing ones.!
• Drive sales…both online and in-store.!
• And, to enhance brand awareness and
drive consumer advocacy.!
19. So…
How can brands
close the gap
between spend and
opportunity?!
20. We believe it starts with understanding mobile-
enabled consumer behavior in three key areas:
Marketing!
How do mobile consumers shop and how can you capture
their attention, online or in-store?!
!
!
Merchandizing!
!
How do they buy and how can you get them to the register,
virtual or otherwise?!
!!
CRM!
How do they connect with brands they love and how can
you leverage that behavior to drive sales and advocacy?!
So I’ve been doing this kind of thing for a while now…speaking at marketing conferences. And a few years ago, I started to notice that about halfway through my presentation people would be looking down at their phones and texting. And it started to make me really feel insecure, you know? I was all worried that my material was boring, or my delivery was lame until it dawned on me that they were actually tweeting an live blogging my presentations. Which, of course was a nice go boost. But I think this is a good conversation starter for us to today because it’s one the best examples of how this had turned everything on it’s head. The smartphone took on the golden rules of human interaction– LOOK AT ME when I’m talking to you—and spun it so that texting while I’m talking (at least under certain circumstances) is actually a compliment.I guess the bottom line is that this screen – all these new screens– are changing everything.
I mean, if you’ve been in the business a while, you remember when the business was all about this. Remember when your big worry was “Does it work in Internet Explorer on a Mac”? And everything seemed SO difficult but really, we had it pretty easy? Sure there were Blackberries, and Treos and Palm Pilots – but essentially, our jobs were about this one screen. The desktop.
Whereas now, it’s the desktop. And tablets. And smartphones. And Phablets. And Google glass, and gestural interfaces and all these social machines and connected and convergent devices of all shapes and sizes.
As devices become more portable and as devices become smarter, we begin to see concurrent usage that facilitate different types of consumer behavior Use previous slide as talking point
Explain that this should only be used directionally, since it was only one individual study
Add holiday tablet statistic Six of the 12 research firms providing forecasts for US mobile ad spending for 2012, including eMarketer, estimate that mobile ad spending will be more than $2.5 billion this year. eMarketer predicts that the rapid expansion of smartphone and tablet user populations will cause marketers to shift their ad spending from more traditional media to mobile at a fast pace. Estimates are also based on high search and display numbers. Because of this, the forecast for mobile ad spending beginning in 2013 through 2016 is higher than other firms’ projections. (http://totalaccess.emarketer.com/Reports/Viewer.aspx?R=2000997)http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/news/strategy/14356.html - growing proportion of site traffic coming from mobileMobile’s piece of the digital ad spending pie will continue to rise rapidly, though it will still only account for 6% of total media ad spending by 2016. Smartphone and tablet adoption, along with the expansion of mobile ad networks and greater choice of mobile ad platforms, will help boost mobile ad spending.Ability to target, especially geotarget, also contributes to rise
In fact, the largest disparity between time spent and ad spend now resides in mobile advertising, as 12% of time spent is with mobile devices, but only 2% of ad spend currently targets mobile viewers, as shown in the chart below. We expect this gap to narrow over time, particularly as marketers demonstrate a greater appreciation for the magnitude of the growth in consumer mobile usage. But still a huge opportunity.http://totalaccess.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1009431&dsNav=Ro:3,N:1240Ad spend isn’t following where the eyeballs are goingThere’s a huge gap in spend, and opportunity isn’t limited to one ad format.
