As the adoption of smartphones grows, consumers are becoming more confident in the technology. It is therefore imperative that marketers adapt. Online marketing must get mobile. In a survey conducted by PayPal and Ipsos, 46 percent of respondents said that they would make a holiday purchase online using their mobile device.
This trend towards increased smartphone ownership and mobile internet usage has an impact on the direction that online marketers need to take if they want to reach their customers via the internet.
Users must be able to read and access a website on a mobile device without losing vital functionality. The design needs to fit a smaller screen and it must load quickly on a 2G or 3G device. Website designers should consider dropping unnecessary graphics, which may take up valuable space and slow down the loading time.
The key to successful functionality on mobile devices is remembering that users will be pressing the screens with their fingers. If buttons and links are too close together, mobile users may find that they accidentally navigate to the wrong page, leading to frustration and the potential for lost sales. Delete the scoop?

In February, facebook announced in its IPO filings that more than 425 million monthly users access Facebook from a mobile device – more than half of the company’s total registered members. And with an estimated one in five people around the world owning a smartphone these days, we can expect nothing but acceleration in that figure. The question is:
Is Facebook so desperate to establish an early footprint in the mobile space that they are willing to do so at belligerent speed without ample due diligence or long-term strategy, or has the 27 year-old boy genius founder struck gold twice? Read more and share your thoughts... Delete the scoop?

If you regularly watch television whilst using your smartphone, tablet or laptop to access the Internet, then you’re not alone.
According to a recent survey by Google, around 77% of people do so regularly. The phenomenon has become known as ‘second screening.’ Advertisers have initially been wary of the second screen, believing that it may distract their target audience during the advert breaks. Yet some have started to take advantage of the second screen, and create innovative campaigns that may change the face of television commercials.
Omar Kattan - New Age AdMan's insight:
The second screen needs to complement the television, not compete with it. Delete the scoop?
