People do different things on their smartphones than on their desktops or tablets (see figure). To delight and serve your customers in their mobile moments of need, you need to give them exactly what they need to move forward in their immediate context. So if you can't reach all customers with an app – AND YOU WON’T! – you will need to deliver an app-like mobile web experience.

For customer insights professionals, embracing the mobile mind shift is a business imperative in the age of the customer. Mobile push and in-app communications are top growth channels for marketers, along with social media (which also leverages mobile touchpoints). A 2014 Forrester survey shows only 21% of marketers leverage mobile apps today, but another 50% expect to support mobile app functionality in the next two years. That’s in addition to the 50% who are already leveraging mobile for SMS or MMS and the 29% who have plans to add mobile messaging to their strategies. ► Receive a FREE daily summary of The Marketing Technology Alert ◄

Digest... B2B’s must think about their mobile presence and while leaping from unaware to mobile savvy may be more evolutionary than revolutionary, it must be done and as a starting point B2B’s should be thinking about the following 4 things:
Mobile Website: First and foremost does your mobile web experience create the right first impression? Consumers want mobile sites to load fast and provide large easy to read navigation so they can figure out where they want to go.
Articles and Content: B2B’s are now using more and more content to help buyers engage with their brand. From the blog to your downloadable whitepapers and infographics, mobile users are looking to be able to read and learn about your business on screens that may only be 3 or 4 inches in size (not everyone has adopted the iPhone 6+ or the Samsung Note). If the visitor finds your content quickly but it isn’t in a responsive format then chances are they won’t read it.
Social Friendly: In an online world where we don’t only consume content, but share the best and most insightful findings of our day on social media sites, does your mobile site make social sharing and engagement easy?
App-Centric: Perhaps the biggest trend that most B2B’s are unaware of is that most people on their mobile devices aren’t on the web browser but they are using applications (apps). For B2B’s this doesn’t necessarily mean that they need an app (although they may), but rather that they need to consider their mobile presence within apps (specifically social sites). For instance, a user on Facebook or LinkedIn may want to learn more about your business.

The last point is very interesting: within what app is your content be presented, and is there an opportunity for integration with that app? Should content be created that is app-specific?

Mobile internet use has surpassed the use of the laptop and PC's which means that most consumers and businesses are doing their research on their phones. And while the B2C companies have mastered reaching the consumer through their mobile devices B2B businesses might want to consider doing the same. They want to be thinking about the following four things; Mobile website: -Businesses want to make sure that your website is mobile friendly -make sure it loads fast and is easy to navigate Articles and content: -make sure your content can be found quickly and is organized in a responsive format Social Friendly: -make sure that readers can share your content easily -do this by installing social media buttons that link them to social media sites App-Centric: -most consumers are on mobile apps when on their mobile devices -make sure that you have a mobile presence in the apps
In my opinion this article is correct in the thinking that businesses should be aware and take advantage of the mobile market. I use my mobile devices more than my laptop in order to gain information about different companies. And if I can't find the content quickly or it doesn't load I will most likely move on to the next thing. I feel like this is also true for many other people especially people in a B2B transaction. Their time is probably very strained and valuable so if they can't get the information about your company quickly or if it doesn't seem like you have kept up with the growing trends in society they may pass you up for another competitor.

Digest... Business to Consumer (B2C) businesses have traditionally led Business to Business (B2B) brands in both online and mobile traffic. However, according to new data out from Usablenet that is about to change. Their data shows, thanks to the rapid adoption of mobile by B2B brands, mobile traffic to their sites will soon outpace B2C traffic.
Reading reviews, comparing features and pricing are just a few of the things B2B customers are doing in the mobile space, and their adoption of mobile platforms is what will soon push B2B brands ahead of B2C's for mobile traffic. That according to new data out from Usablenet which shows that while m:commerce accounts for less than 10% of B2B sales more than half are shifting transactions from offline to online or self-serve options.
The data further shows: • 56% of B2B customers read reviews via mobile

Kahuna is interesting because it's a mobile-first marketing automation platform that can be used for marketing anything, not just a mobile app. Basic/ Digest... “Mobile has been the future for 10 years now,” Adam Marchick told me today. He’s the CEO of Kahuna, a mobile marketing automation company that just raised $11 million to hit the market harder.
The same day Kahuna announced its new cash, the well-established Urban Airship announced its own brand-new mobile marketing automation solution, which allows marketers to build automated real-time marketing workflows for millions of customers or potential customers, and integrates with Apple’s iBeacon local commerce product.
Kahuna is interesting because it’s a mobile-first marketing automation platform that can be used for marketing anything, not just a mobile app.
The company claims that it more than doubles customer engagement, with response rates hovering around 20 percent for its push messages. Marchick says that’s because the company, which is thoroughly staffed and funded by ex-Facebookers and other fast-growing startup people with very significant growth hacker credential, knows what to send and what not to send.

This article points out that marketing automation is the new thing for mobile marketing. Today people have multiple devices and respond more quickly to mobile messages. The article says that people will pay more attention to SMS and push notifications. A mobile marketing automation company called Kahuna announced a solution that will allow marketers to build real-time marketing workflows for customers.
I agree with this article that it is important to focus on SMS and push notifications when trying to gain more customer engagement. I use at least two different devices everyday including my smartphone and my laptop. Even though I check my email on a daily basis, I am more likely to respond more quickly to SMS or a push notification. I like to receive important updates in real-time. I think Kahuna has the right idea with their new solution because it will focus on connecting marketers to customers using real-time. I think if Kahuna uses important content that is relevant to the customer it will be successful.

“Mobile has been the future for 10 years now,” said Adam Marchick who is the CEO of Kahuna, a mobile marketing automation company. His company just raised $11 million to hit the market with a new service for mobile marketers. Marketing automation is currently tripling annually and is still not used by more than 90 percent of non-tech companies, but Marchick is working to change that. This new service allows marketers to create automated workflows for millions of customers. It is a mobile-first marketing automation platform, can be used for marketing any product, and is not limited to just an app. I personally love reading articles about these new technological advances. The world marketplace is newly revolving around the online world and inventions that create more value for users is always a doorway to many new and improved innovations. I believe that this could be a very common service I will be using in my professional career.

Mobile marketing automations is the next big thing in the mobile world. This article follows Kahuna, a mobile marketing automation company that just raised $11 Million. Their brand-new mobile marketing automation solution, which allows marketers to build automated real-time marketing workflows for millions of customers or potential customers, and integrates with Apple’s iBeacon local commerce product. Kahuna is a mobile-first marketing automation platform that can be used for marketing anything, not just mobile apps. The company claims that it more than doubles customer engagement, with response rates hovering around 20 percent for its push messages. This is because people use many devices now, and they respond much quicker and more frequently to mobile messages such as SMS and push notifications than to email or other, older forms of communication. Adam Marchick, CEO of Kahuna, states “A lot of the old marketing automation systems assumed that one person had one device and assumed that if you knew someone’s email that was good enough. That’s just not true anymore. And lot of marketing automation companies think mobile marketing is small emails … and that’s just not true either.” It seems that mobile marketing may be moving in a direction that could lead to improved customer responsiveness due to automation features that appeal more to mobile consumers than the older marketing techniques do.

Excerpt not covering Responsive... Responsive design is not the only way to create mobile-friendly email content. You can still be ahead of the curve and reap most of the benefits of being mobile-friendly if you adopt mobile-aware design techniques, which include: -- > Using a single-column layout -- > Employing large images, text, and buttons -- > Spacing out links so there are fewer mis-taps
These design techniques involve creating a single email that functions well across a range of screen sizes, but is deferential to smartphones.
