Why Mobile Marketing Is Essential For Business

There are still users who wonder what Mobile Marketing is. It is defined as the set of Marketing actions and techniques aimed at mobile devices where the design, implementation, and execution of specific actions are necessary.

The importance of advertising on these devices is making its way into the marketing strategies of companies because users show an increasing predisposition to use their smartphones for their purchases and transactions.

Every day more people use a smartphone and surf the internet through it. The Media Research Association, in its study on Internet Navigators, shows us some data to take into account, such as the fact that 91.5% of citizens use their smartphones to connect to the internet. More than 60% do so through various devices such as computers, tablets to which smart TVs have been added in recent times.

All this information makes us consider that it is not enough to have online marketing strategies for conventional web pages. Still, it is necessary to adapt products and services to smartphones and take advantage of this exciting opportunity. Currently, the Google search engine penalizes all those websites that are not adapted to these devices.

Today thousands of companies are incorporating mobile marketing into their corporate strategies, considering that it is one of the sales channels with the highest growth today and in the near future.

The Future of Mobile Marketing

The mobile phone has become essential for a large part of the world’s population; with the pandemic, the use of this device has increased to 4 hours and 20 minutes a day on average and has highlighted its usefulness for making transactions and purchases that have visibly improved.

Many web pages are already adapted to mobile devices; however, in some, the content is not displayed correctly (texts or images that do not fit the screen), and navigation becomes tedious or impossible for users. This is the reason why it is essential to have a web page adapted to mobile devices (responsive webs).

Content Adaptation

Users generally use other devices such as computers when reading complex and detailed documents that require their attention. However, the use of tablet for reading is more and more frequent.
