In fact, 67.56% of all that have participated in a contest during the first months of 2017 have done so via their mobile phone, compared to only 28.47% in 2014. When it comes to voting for entries in promotions, the number is even higher: 84.89% of the voting is done from a mobile device. According to Carles Bonfill, CEO of Easypromos: “We anticipate that this number will increase to reach 90% participation via smartphone”.
The digital revolution that we’re living is unique in history. Being connected is basic and necessary and the brands have to adapt their messages and actions to the right channels. Mobile marketing is no longer something new in test stage and should be incorporated in the general strategy of the brand.
The agencies and the brands should start planning to make the smartphone their main channel, not only because it’s trending but because it can offer an infinity of information. This channel makes it possible to obtain very valuable information, for example the geolocation of where the users participate, the moment they do it, or even which products are the most sold in a specific location.
According to Carles Bonfill, “The most revealing of these data, is that the marketing agencies and the brands should change their approach and start to design their contests with the mobile devices in mind and adapt their promotions to smartphones, given that 80% of the users will be participating via this device”.
