6. Successfully Connecting through the
Smartphone Experience
Smartphone usage has revolutionized how people
interact with brands and businesses. While what people
do on a smartphone and where they do it varies, for a
marketer, it all drills down to the mobile usage experience
of a consumer. When examining where people use their
smartphones, it becomes clear that location greatly
influences the type of task the consumers complete.
On-the-go smartphone activities need to be quick
and frictionless; while activities at home are slower,
more time-consuming tasks requiring in-depth, easily-
consumable content. At-work smartphone activities are
habitual and app-related. Knowing these tendencies can
help brands tailor mobile experiences to the consumer.
Brands and marketers cannot rest easy
until they validate their presence in all
forms of mobile media where consumers
look for information, and finding that
information becomes as easy as finding
tomorrow’s weather forecast.
