Mobile First - infographic

Mobile devices have greatly changed the way people communicate, interact and consume on a daily basis. For this reason, it’s important for business owners to use the most effective tactics in order to reach and inform mobile customers. This applies equally to the provision of brand, PR and public information for all organisations.

Companies have increasingly adopted digital marketing over recent years. Optimising your website for mobile traffic and investing in an online marketing strategy that works effectively through web connected devices, is a key foundation of the sales & marketing landscape in 2019.

Millennial buyers cite internet search and vendor websites as their two top means of researching products and services and they will typically gather information up front via social networks, videos, blogs, podcasts and message services. This is set to increase with Generation Z, the social demographic born into the digital world from the mid 1990s who communicate online largely through mobile devices.

However, it is not just enough for your website and comms to 'work' on mobile as stats suggest a poor experience can knock confidence and turn users away from the business as a whole. Your website needs to be built and optimised for mobile extending to its page content and through to your wider comms channels including business networks and social media. PDFs, most often used as downloads, are another area for scrutiny - they should have their file size reduced, checked for accessibility and key information should be pulled out into on-screen text (as not all devices can present them well). Submarine have produced this simple infographic which collates recent indicative insight.
