Mobile Path To Purchase Starting At Searches Becomes Clearer #mobilemarketing #mobilewebsite

Mobile Path To Purchase Starting At Searches Becomes Clearer #mobilemarketing #mobilewebsite | mobile web news | Scoop.it

Reports, financial investments and company earnings confirm a growing change in human behavior to pick up a mobile device first before turning to desktops to conduct searches online.

 

Some 45% of consumers now reach for their mobile devices like smartphones and tablets first, while 49% use their PC as their primary media resource. Some 46% exclusively use mobile as their default and primary research tool, according to the 2013 Mobile Path-to-Purchase study from Telmetrics and xAd. Results compiled by Nielsen from an online survey of more than 2,000 U.S. smartphone and tablet users focus on the Banking and Finance, Gas and Convenience, Insurance, and Retail categories.

 

The study also demonstrates that 50% of all mobile users rely on their device at the beginning of the research process, with 1 in 3 indicating that they use their device throughout their entire purchase process.

Local remains the top driver for the mobile-search-first behavior. It turns out that 1 in 3 who use a smartphone and 1 in 4 using a tablet turn toward their device for contact information, such as a phone number, address or map and driving directions.
