Your Brand in Consumer’s Hand When It is Time to Buy
Consumers are on the go and looking for a bargain. More Americans are looking to their mobile phones and devices to help them get things accomplished fast and save money at the same time! This makes the ever present mobile phone and device the perfect link to reach these buyers with well-timed text & SMS offers when they are ready to buy.
A survey conducted by Harris Interactive and reported in eMarketer reveals 42% of 18-to-34-year-olds and 33% of 35-to-44-year-olds are at least somewhat interested in receiving opt-in mobile alerts from their favorite brands and businesses.
Among respondents who would opt in to location-based alerts on their mobile phones, more than one-half were interested in messages from restaurants, followed by movie and event tickets, weather, and clearance sales.
Harris Interactive researchers also found that about 90% of consumers have made impulse purchases while out shopping because of a sale, and 22% of mobile users did so weekly. Marketers that let consumers know about local offers at the right place and time might take advantage of such behaviors.
