Important Statistics Players Within The Mobile World Should See

All android app development companies should be aware of some of the statistics below as they are vital to the success of any mobile app.

Forecast on mobile ads

It has been forecasted that total global spending on mobile ads will hit $176 billion by 2020. So, android app development companies should position themselves to grab their fair share of the “cake”. This should not be a surprise as marketing through mobile ads is one of the most effective marketing techniques as it is not affected by the difference in geographical locations.

The demand for mobile content increases drastically and that is why companies and advertisers prefer the technique. The more users consume mobile content, the more companies will place their adverts on the platform.

Increase in paid search clicks

When 4-inch screen was the order of the day, smartphone users hated ads with a passion and about half of the few that clicked them did so mistakenly. Now that smartphones come with bigger screens, users have decided to give ads a chance. According to the latest research, mobile devices account for about 53 percent of paid search clicks. So, you can also adopt the technique in your SEO efforts.

Google should be your target

It is necessary for app builders to target Google for the marketing of their apps. Although android app development companies are aware that Google dominates the search engine world but what they don’t know is that Google also dominates paid search ad clicks, at least in the United States. In fact, Google accounts for about 95 percent of paid search ad clicks on mobile in the US. So, any android app development company that intends to promote its mobile app with paid search should focus on Google.

Twitter generated about $3.58 billion on mobile ads alone

You may have observed that Twitter seems to be taking on more ads. There is a reason for it. The social media giant has declared that it was able to realize up to $3.58 billion from mobile ads globally. This is a pointer to the prospect in mobile ads. In spite of the whopping amount, Twitter still feels that the mobile ad market is still far from being fully exploited. You may also begin to strategize on how to take your cut.

Shoppers still use their phones while in a physical store

It is shocking that almost 84 percent of shoppers still use their phones while in a physical store. While some of them may be doing other things, most of them use their phones to compare the prices offered in that particular store to what others offer. So, they may end up purchasing only products whose prices are competitive.

The two things you can learn from this, is that prices of products still matter. So, if you own a physical store, you should not compare your prices to only the prices of other physical stores. You should also compare the prices to other online stores.

The second thing to note is for android app development companies. This means that price comparison apps are still in demand. You may need to develop one.

Good mobile experience is an important rating yardstick

Whether you believe it or not, some mobile device users rate a particular brand with its mobile experience. This is not a mere theory but the result of a certain survey. Over 60 percent of customers develop a better impression about a brand when it offers great mobile experience. So, when dev eloping your app, you must focus on offering great user experience.

Expend more energy in making customers install your app

According to a certain report, over 40 percent of users tend to buy more from a brand whose E-commerce app has been downloaded. This is because when a customer installs your app, buying from you becomes much more convenient than buying from other stores. When they have your app, they can order products from your store on the go, from anywhere, and at anytime.

Another reason installing your app will make people buy more from you is because of impulse buyers. Once they get the urge to buy a product and your app is within their reach, they would have ordered the product before they change their minds.

You also need to understand that when your app is installed on the devices of users, the icon of the app will act as reminder each time they navigate through their phones. In this case, the icon of your app can be likened to placing adverts on billboards. Now, do you have any idea how many times each user navigates through his or her phone on a daily basis? You should understand why installing your app will boost the sales of your products.

App responsiveness is vital

People are generally very impatient so you should ensure that your app responds very fast. Sluggishness turns customers off and it lowers conversion rate. Do you realize that it is possible for conversions to reduce by up to 20 percent with just a second delay in the loading of a page? And you know what? You may not only lose a few orders; you may be losing some good customers.

Personalization of offers is also important

People don’t waste time on general messages. So, even if you are sending a general message, you should personalize it by at least, addressing each of the recipients with their first names. According to a survey by Deviceatlas, about 78 percent of shoppers said they will ignore a retailer’s offer if it is not personalized.

You could also personalize your offer based on the interests and past purchases of your customers. For instance, if you tell a customer that for purchasing more than 3 pairs of shoes the last time she visited, she can get a 20-percent on whatever she buys next. The customer will not only be excited, she will also feel special and even if she didn’t plan to order any products from, she will take advantage of the offer as soon as she can. That underscores the importance of personalization of offers.

In conclusion, every player within the mobile industry should see these statistics as they will be guided in the shaping of their business strategies.
