Notes From A Mobilized Marketer: Anything Your App Can Do Dogs Can Do Better

An app that forces you to get out of bed? I have three dogs that do that.

More than half of U.S. online adults who begin tasks on their mobile phone continue them on their laptop, Forrester says.

The digital ad spend is concentrated among a few companies  -- nine account for two-thirds of the U.S. digital ad revenues, according to eMarketer.

Up to five million Android users have malware issues. I believe that 4,999,993 don't know or care enough to do something. But Norton claims that a text message worm targets Android devices.

I disagree with the notion that consumers won't be loyal in the mobile age. In fact, I think that the opportunity to create and cultivate relationships is better than ever.

Nielsen tweeted that while advertisers are exploring mobile, they need proof that campaigns are effective. This is news?

If I tried, I couldn't create a worse user experience than what Gogo gives us on flights. Slow, bad customer service, overpriced, frustrating. No more.

78% of U.S. youth use Facebook at least once a month, more than Instagram & WhatsApp combined, reports Forrester.

Android users are spending around half as much as iOS users on apps.

89% of buyers use mobile when searching for homes, according to Keller Williams.

ESPN said that 3.2 million people watched the U.S. vs. Germany World Cup game. That added 10% to the TV audience.

A tweet said that BlackBerry is waging war against its greatest enemy: media haters. That’s a head-scratching, desperate strategy.

Another tweet says that it's official. We live in a mobile world. What kept you?

Deloitte says that there are three ways that banks can drive revenue from mobile - new customers, cross-selling, and mobile commerce.

The abandon rate for mobile shopping carts is 97%, claims HP.

Notes From A Mobilized Marketer: The "Invasion of the Wacky Insurance Woman" Edition

My tweet stream has been commandeered by marketers when I see the "consciousness" from Flo of Progressive Insurance.

Still wondering if there has been a meaningful migration of marketing dollars to mobile? Google will lose $1.4 billion in PC revenue this year as search shifts to mobile, according to eMarketer.

iOS bounced back in the U.S. to go past Android with 49 percent share, industry analyst Chetan Sharma says.

Google plans to open its first U.S. retail location in New York City.

Twitter is beta testing a “click-to-call” direct response button.

60 percent of the most-shared Super Bowl ads are the ones that are pre-released. Times have changed in this area, but not when it comes to mobile calls to action in spots.

The first headline I saw the other day - The end of advertising. There likely was one saying the same thing about television. Neither was based in reality.

Ads now beat porn as source for mobile malware.

The other day, I was having my fourth cup of coffee while deciding if I wanted to look at an app that will surely tell me not to drink so much. I didn’t look.

Headline on Mashable: It's Time to Ditch Your Wallet For Mobile Payments. My response? Ridiculous.

Oscar Mayer has created a device to turn your iPhone into a bacon-scented alarm clock. I doubt sales will sizzle.

No change with new numbers: Hispanics over-index on mobile devices, under-index on time spent with desktop PCs.

As a former journalist, it pains me each time I see purported pictures of coming iPhones. That's not reporting - that's link bait.

74 percent of executives say they have a digital strategy, but only 16 percent feel they have the ability to execute. Are you in that camp?

Notes From A Mobilized Marketer - "The Don't Underestimate The Brick and Mortars" Edition

Unknown.jpeg

I’m as bullish on mobile as the next guy or gal. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Despite mobile’s influence, 90 percent of U.S. retail sales this holiday season are projected to occur in brick and mortar stores, according to ShopperTrak.

iOS users far outspent Android users over the holiday weekend, IBM says. Marketers, plan accordingly for rest of season.

From the same source: smartphones are for browsing - tablets are for buying. Black Friday mobile stats confirm our beliefs.

How did the retailers fare? The percentage of mobile sales for department stores was up 46.4 percent over last year.

PayPal saw a 123.9 percent increase in global mobile payment volume on Black Friday over 2012. This isn’t 1980.

Amazon took $50 off Kindle Fire prices for Cyber Monday. The company breaks even on the hardware, makes money instead on future purchases customers will make with the tablet.

A delay of NBA League Pass radio broadcasts in the Game Time app shows the score minute or so ahead. That makes no sense.

About 75 percent of smartphone and tablet users use a second screen more than once a month as they watch TV: Nielsen.

My 84-year-old mother in law is teaching us about Netflix on the iPad. Is this kind of stuff happening in your world, too?

Are we that out of control? A restaurant offers a 50 percent discount for turning off the phone.

I predict voice use via mobile phones on planes will never fly. Even those of us addicted to connectivity say no.

Over 120 million in the U.S. will research products on a mobile device this year, eMarketer says.

I have no quibble with the assertion that indoor location-based services will mature in 2014. There is value for mobile users
