MOBILE MARKETING NEWS


Ineffective mobile usage, ROI measurements are marketers’ downfalls: Forrester

Marketers’ failure to accurately invest in mobile channels with appropriate budgets has resulted in a struggle to measure return on investment, meaning that brands must fully integrate mobile with their marketing strategies this year, according to a report from Forrester Research.

The research firm’s latest report identifies 2016 mobile marketing and app trends, focusing on how brands can become key differentiators in their respective industries by serving mobile moments to consumers in an effort to revamp the customer experience. Many companies underinvested in mobile last year, suggesting that the leaders of the pack – who maintain strong mobile budgets – will effectively measure the channel’s return on investment in 2016.

“Mobile is the most disruptive change in consumer behavior in years,” said Thomas Husson, vice president and principal analyst of marketing and strategy at Forrester Research. “Marketers know this and they keep saying mobile is strategic.

“However, reality is that they struggle measuring ROI of mobile because they do not clearly articulate how mobile can serve their marketing objectives and because they don't measure the right metrics.”
