Understanding the Mobile Marketing Landscape

Mobile marketing refers to the approach of reaching and engaging with potential customers through mobile or tablet devices. It covers a variety of strategies and tactics designed to connect with consumers on the go.

It leverages the unique capabilities of mobile technology to deliver personalised experiences and drive desired actions.

To highlight its importance, here are some compelling statistics that emphasises the need for a strong mobile presence:

• According to Statista, almost 59% of global web traffic generated in the last quarter of 2023 came from mobile devices.
• 51% of customers use their mobile devices to find and buy new products or services.
• Mobile users worldwide are expected to reach 7.49 billion by 2025 according to Statista.
• 61% of users are most likely to never go back to a site if it’s not optimised for mobile devices, based on a report from Google.
• Over 40% of online transactions are done using a mobile device.

Why Mobile-First Approach Matters

Optimising Your Website for Mobile

When users land on your website, a positive experience is crucial. Without one, they simply will not return, and you can kiss your hopes of a conversion goodbye.

Whilst many of us have worked painstakingly on our websites to ensure they look fantastic on desktop, far too many ignore the way our site looks on mobile. And now with the majority of internet traffic coming from mobile devices, having a responsive website design is no longer optional—it's essential.

If you’re also struggling to make your website look great on mobile, here are some practical tips to help make your website more accessible and user-friendly:

1. Focus on optimising your website's layout, font sizes, and interactive elements to make navigation intuitive and frictionless. Implement mobile-friendly features such as touch-friendly buttons, clear call-to-action (CTA) buttons, and streamlined forms to enhance usability.
2. Slow-loading websites can lead to high bounce rates and low user satisfaction. Consider optimising images, minimising unnecessary code, and leveraging browser caching to improve website speed.
3. Simplify navigation menus and lessen the number of clicks required to find relevant information. Make sure that important content is easily accessible and prominently displayed on mobile screens.

• In-app ads: Ads displayed within mobile applications are a great way to reach users while they engage with their favourite apps.
• Mobile search ads: Mobile search ads appear in search engine results pages (SERPs) on mobile devices, targeting users actively searching for relevant products or services.
