Here are a few data points, but watch the video for much more:
- eMarketer estimates that there will be 125 million smartphone users in the US by the end of 2012, with that number growing to 176.3 million by 2015.
- A study by comScore for Babycenter found that mothers overindex on mobile — Moms are 12% more likely to use a tablet, and 27% more likely to own a smartphone.
- Most mobile activity actually happens in the home. Ecreative found that between 77 and 81% of users are searching on their mobile phones at home and on weekends.
- Mobile search leads to action. According to Google and Nielsen, 75% of mobile searches trigger a follow-up action.
- 76% of shoppers make their decisions in-store, on the fly – and those who “overspend on impulse items” do so by more than 200% according to a Shopper Engagement Study by Point of Purchase Advertising International.
