Are you wondering about the best way to engage customers on mobile? Are you trying to decide whether to build an app or a mobile-friendly website? Are you unsure whether a responsive website is the best route for you?

 

 

Then this video of Raja Saggi the Head of Marketing for Google (UK and Ireland) discussing the “5 Steps to Mobile Success” will be of interest to you. It is full of useful information, including some of the techniques Raja employs with his own Google B2B Marketing team!

 

The topics he covers include

  • Think Mobile!
  • Apps v’s Websites
  • Design Principles
  • Getting Found
  • Content

Raja quoted some great statistics about e-commerce through mobile in the UK to emphasise why mobile is so important to Google and why it should be for you and your business. 

  • 43% of books are purchased through mobile devices
  • 42% of clothes are bought through mobile devices
  • 40% of music is purchased through mobile devices

Raja asked the Digital Spring audience some multiple choice questions (he joked like a pub quiz) to get people thinking about mobile. Here are the questions in case you want to join in…

 

Question 1 What percentage of  British mobile users have Smart phones?

Answers A) 50% B) 70% C) 90%
