Adjusting your marketing efforts to meet today’s consumer behavior
Companies willing to embrace this new era of technology will accel and thrive. Those who don’t will be socially distanced out of existence… Here are a few strategies you can apply to increase your marketing efforts based on today’s technology-enabled consumer.Â
SMS – Sending text messages isn’t simply fast and consumer-friendly but text massages also receive a 97-98% open rate, compared to email campaigns that have a 20% average open rate (on a good day). SMS communication ensures your message is being delivered and seen by your prospect.Â
Mobile Design – Having a mobile-optimized website or landing page is critical to ensure your prospect has a delightful experience. Having a non-mobile-optimized web experience increases their likelihood to retreat from your site and continue their search.
Site Load Speed – According to 2018 research by Google, 53% of mobile users leave a site that takes longer than three seconds to load and that number continues to increase. This could cut your marketing efforts in half if not addressed before you launch your campaign.
