   By 2013, mobile devices will overtake PCs as
   the most common web access device
   worldwide (Gartner, 2010)



What is Mobile?

   Smartphones

   Tablets

Smartphone and media tablet sales are increasing dramatically
 •   660 million smartphones and 106 million media tablets forecasted to be shipped
     globally in 2012, up 33% and 53% from 2011 respectively

44% of all Americans age 12 and over own a smartphone, representing half of all
cell phone owners (Edison Research, 2012)
Current State of the Post-PC World

month, 30% of purchasers spend $20 or more

Current State of the Post-PC World



Android is the dominant mobile
operating system among smartphone
users, iOS is a close second



Recent buyers are mainly split
between Android and iOS with
Android slightly ahead
Why Mobile?

Reach your target customers with the right message at the right time, no matter
                               where they are.

 According to ComScore there are over 100 million smartphone users in the US

 Forecast from eMarketer predicts the number of US tablet owners to more than
 double from 33.7 million to nearly 70 million in 2012
Why Mobile?

Advanced ad targeting including by geo-targeting, operating system, device, time
of day, content or keywords, demographics and more

Sophisticated campaign tracking and analytics tools available
Why Mobile Email?
669.5 million people used mobile email in 2011 and the number is expected to
grow to 2.4 billion by 2016 (Portio Research, 2012)

According to a study by ReturnPath, email opens on mobile devices (smart phones
and tablets) grew 82.4% in the past year and is currently on track to surpass both
webmail and desktop email views by as early as this summer

Of the 27.39% of emails opened using a mobile device, 20.63% of emails were
opened on a smartphone, with 6.76% being opened on a tablet (Knotice, 2012)




                        Source: Litmus, 2012
Why Mobile Email?
43% of mobile email users check email four or more times per day compared to
29% of those who do not use mobile email (Merkle “View From the Digital Inbox 2011″)
Over half (56 percent) of U.S. consumers said that they’ve made at least one
purchase using their smartphone as the result of a marketing message they
received in a mobile email (ExactTarget, 2011)
If all US Mobile Internet time were condensed into
one hour, how much time would be spent in the most
                 heavily used sectors?
Challenges & Opportunities that Advertisers Face with
                   Mobile Email
  Timing of emails- When is the best time to send an email?

  Design quandary- Should you design your creative for the mobile opener or for
  the desktop user?

  New opportunities- How to take advantage of mobile devices to drive different
  user behavior from email marketing.

Previous thinking: Time emails so they arrive and are at the top of the inbox for
subscribers when they arrive at work

Challenge: Users are now checking their emails as soon as they wake up, while at
work, on their commute home, or while lounging on their couch in front of the TV
