Most mobile internet users are as happy with mobile advertising as they are with TV or online ads

Mobile advertising business InMobi has announced the results of its Mobile Media Consumption Report, which contains information from over 15,000 mobile users in 14 markets around the world.

Overall, 50% of global mobile web users said they now used their mobile device as the main way to go online. In addition:

  • 46% said they’d made purchases using their mobile device
  • 45% said their mobile device had influenced their in-store purchases
  • 67% felt it had provided them with better options, and
  • 75% said they’d been introduced to something new via their mobile device.

59% of mobile users said they were now as comfortable with mobile advertising as they were with TV or online advertising. 54% had noticed mobile ads while using a mobile application, 40% on a search engine, 27% on a retailer website and 23% on a video website.

The popularity of online mobile shopping - m-commerce - is also increasing. 66% of consumers had spent money on an activity via a mobile device, while 80% of consumers expect to buy something via mobile in the next 12 months.

Naveen Tewari, InMobi’s CEO and co-founder, said “Mobile devices now permeate every aspect of modern life. The study reveals that mobile users are always-on, whether surfing the mobile web while spending time with family (48%), at a social event (45%), commuting (60%) and shopping (43%). This creates a huge opportunity for brands and marketers to engage with consumers throughout the day unlike traditional advertising like print and TV. With consumers now being increasingly receptive to mobile advertising and in-app ads, there has never been a better time for brands to embrace the use of mobile technologies.”

This is some great information.

Once we can get this info into the hands of local business owners, it should really open their eyes to the need to have a mobile presence and to provide their customers with a way to shop via mobile devices.

Great stuff. Thanks for publishing it.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
