Scale Mobile has been bigger than PC’s for a long time Now mobile is getting ‘smart’ A PC is replaced every 4 or 5 years, a phone every 2 years

Usage Most PC’s are shared, phones are personal Location, photos, everywhere The address book is a basic social network

Consumers


What’s the next step in mobile?And how should we do that?

Advertisers They ‘started’ with mobile in the last

couple of years They have a mobile/ responsive website

or an app

Results Results are dissapointing Limited insights Low conversion rates Lots of questions

Consumers 72% of Dutch consumers own a

smartphone (Q3 2013) 32% of Dutch households own a tablet

(end of 2012)

Customer journeys People use a lot of different devices in

their customer journeys Consumers want to use their phones to

orientate and buy stuff

Journey How many of our clients use multiple devices to buy our stuff? Is there a logical sequence?

Marketing What is the Return on ad spend (ROAS) of campaign x? How should we allocate budget between campaigns? How should we target and optimize mobile campaigns?

AdWords: low volume, and

low waste

Why mobile conversions are so hard

32

33

Why mobile conversion rates are low

Reasons not to convert on mobile

1. Cannot trust credit card security on mobile device (40%)

2. Screen size is too small (40%)

3. Cannot see detailed product/service information (27%)

4. Hard to type (25%)

5. Hard to compare prices and options (22%)

As a result

It’s hard to convert on a smartphone

34

Why mobile conversion rates are low

People convert in other ways 34% of purchaces from mobile convert on that device 52% of purchaces from mobile convert in person (in store or by phone)

People convert on desktops or in real-world

How to measure cross-device

39

Universal Analytics Open Measurement Protocol Universal analytics has an ‘open measurement protocol’ It supports “User ID” (you need a whitelist for that) It needs some kind of log-on to identify the user on a different device With the log-on the script overrides the browser-specific ID with a user-ID Measure a user that visited our site on mobile and converted on desktop

Is it a solution? When you’re a website where people log in, it is Otherwise it’s useless, so for most it is not

Other (future) solutions Google might start using Google Accounts to track cross-device (like ‘estimated total

conversions’ in Adwords) Fingerprinting and probability based on wifi, location, other behaviour Might be a problem with European laws (the cookielaw)

Using universal analytics

How do we measure the multi-device, multi-channel user?

Some final advice

Take-aways

Facebook cross-device tracking Lots of people log into Facebook on all their devices Facebook has excellent cross-device tracking Show people a mobile ad, see them convert on desktop

Problem Hard to compare with other channels Siloized measurement (who do you trust?)

Take-aways

Stop focussing on Apple! Marketeers are highly educated and early adopters They bought iPhones and seem to think everybody has an iPhone Most mobile strategies are ‘iPhone-first, make a copy later’

Normal people have Android 69% of (Dutch) people have Andoid 22% of (Dutch) people have iOS

iOS vs Android

45

Take-aways

iOS vs Android: traffic


Android phone sends more traffic than

desktop

46

Take-aways

iOS vs Android


Start taking Android serious Developing a good app takes at least a year (the first few versions suck) So don’t look at yesterday’s data, but try to look at the future

Native Native is more than a programming-language: use widgets, customizations and so on Brechtje de Leij (NU.nl):

“An iPhone-clone in the Play Store is as bad as putting a Feyenoord-fan in the AJAX-stadium and say: ‘Stop whining, it is football!?’”

47

Take-aways

Start usability testing

Mr. Tappy Works with smartphones and tablets Works with tools like Morea
