Think back to this morning. What was the first thing you did? We bet it was check your smartphone. In fact, your phone probably woke you up in the first place, didn’t it? For most of us our mobile device is our best friend and constant companion. We look up the weather, read our emails, go shopping, and search for information all from a tiny hand held device.
Defining mobile as a channel strategy or technology doesn’t quite do it justice; mobile is how we behave. It is how we live, research, document and communicate.
A mobile device is arguable the closest you can get to your customer. There is no other device as personal (everybody has their own individual phone), as pervasive (is with you all of the time), and provides the opportunity for proximity (we hold it in our hands and keep it in our pockets/purses). As marketers seek to understand, and leverage, the customer’s path to purchase, mobile devices have the potential to be a tremendous enabler.
