The 3 Faces of Mobile

Feature Phones

Smartphones

Tablets


Smartphones are moving to the mainstream, passing 50% penetration among US mobile phone users between 2012 and 2013


Smartphones are driving growth of mobile internet use


Smartphone penetration is high across nearly all demographic groups, but several groups

stand out


The feature phone user base is shrinking but still comprises millions of users


2012 is proving to be the year of the tablet


Apple’s iPads continue to dominate the tablet market



Tablet users are often older and wealthier


The three mobile user groups are not mutually exclusive

Behaviors:

Mobile means more than ‘on the go’


The mobile phone is always within reach, whether at home or‘on the go’


Smartphones are constant companions, while tablets are ‘couch and pillow’ devices


Smartphone users are task-oriented but frequently snack on mobile content


What is on the snack list?

Tablet users are a leisure-minded group, looking to be entertained


Tablet users’ attention is often divided between television and tablet


“A picture of sequential and simultaneous device usage is emerging, and marketers need to make progress around understanding how the devices relate and how to use them in combination.”

—Jason Spero, head of global mobile sales and strategyat Google

Mobile users toggle between devices with ease



Will marketing practices change as a result of mobile devices?


Mobile Marketing Outlook:

Spending

Tactics

Brand examples

Mobile marketing budgets are still small


Budgets do not align with time spent on mobile


Marketers are confident spending will increase

Mondelez International, for one, will make a bold mobile move

“We are planning to invest 10 percent of our global marketing budget in mobile activations and channels across the entire consumer journey.”

—Bonin Bough, vice president of global media and consumer engagement at Mondelez International

Mondelez International comprises the global snacking and food brands of the former Kraft Foods Inc., including billion-dollar brands such as Nabisco and Oreo biscuits, Trident gum, Cadbury and Milka chocolate



2012 mobile marketing plans are skewed toward mobile apps and QR Codes



Consumers are spending more time with apps than with the mobile web



There are significant upsides to apps, but there are downsides too

UpsideEncapsulated experience

Size and functionality of the device

High level of engagement

More time spent with brand

DownsideMultiple versions for dominant app platforms

Separate app store approvals

Ongoing updates for each version

Overcoming fragmentation

User retention


Which do you choose?


QR Codes: Marketers keep hitting ‘go,’ but adoption is slow


Consumers want rewardsMarketers give information

Barcode content often falls short of consumer expectations


“Shape Magazine did a sweepstakes for their 30th anniversary issue, and they had 400,000 mobile entries through the use of these [QR] codes.

Valuable content, a clear call to action and repetition are critical

You have to tell consumers what to do. And you need to tell them what they will get from it—it has to be something that’s worth it.”

—Roger Matus, executive vice president of mobile marketing and technology services company, Nellymoser


Mobile Advertising:

Mobile paid search

Mobile display


Local search universally prompts action

among smartphone users


Mobile paid search delivers a better return on investment than desktop search



Marketers will spend the most on mobile paid search for the next three years


Mobile display spending will tripleby 2014


Mobile display offers new ways to interact with and measure ads

The platform combines a level of interactivity and a level of measurability that existed in the desktop space but is further enhanced in the tablet space.”

—Tom Penich, media communications manager for BMW

“We can use video and allow people to play with our vehicles. The medium is even stronger when you factor in measurability.


Mobile ad spending growth is strong but is only a fraction of total media spending


Key Takeaways

Strategically…

Plan for multiple mobile device usage: Smartphone and tablet audiences will grow significantly and the percentage of consumers who use both devices will be sizeable.

Expect simultaneous and sequential device usage: Messaging needs to be consistent and response across digital channels needs to be anticipated.

Reconcile time spent with mobile vs. mobile spend: Track your mobile traffic and predict when your audience will become a mobile majority. Adjust budgets accordingly.


Key Takeaways

Tactically…

Tailor tactics to unique mobile behaviors: Smartphones are precision tools and constant companions. Tablets are entertainment hubs and shopping centers. Both are frequently used at home.

Apps and mobile web are complementary tactics, not necessarily a choice.

Consumers expect rewards from QR Codes.

Mobile ad spending is on the rise: Mobile paid search generates high CTRs and mobile display ads offer new ways to engage and measure ad effectiveness.
