How can you make use of the services offered by a provider like Integrat?

Is your Mobile Aggregation changing with consumer behaviour?

It is a fact: there is a shift in the way that consumers are using their mobile phones. As a business, you should change your Mobile Aggregation practises along with this if you want to stay on top of your game. The wireless handset has taken over the younger generation’s lives completely. Mobile phones are capable of integrating their entertainment, social interaction and even the way they look for work all in to one. No wonder that they are spending more time on their phones than on laptops or desktop computers. Where things really get tricky though is in the phone department.  Their phones have different capabilities, which entail different Mobile Aggregation abilities. It is safe to assume that the younger generation is leaning more heavily towards smartphones, although statistics show that South Africa has yet to catch up on the smartphone craze due to our economic climate. The fact of the matter however: as the phones become capable of doing more, your customers start to expect more from your brand. Some companies haven’t even realised the potential of mobile marketing yet and are still stuck in the old ways of communication. Others have embraced the digital world, but they aren’t alert to how quickly the environment changes – and they start to trail behind as well. Do you realise that while a consumer is watching television or reading a newspaper they always have one eye on their phone? In fact, it might even be the other way around. Consumers are so caught up with their mobile phones that other mediums become secondary. The good news for marketers is...

Mobile Aggregators has the change to swoop in on the best, most innovative, mobile functions.

The average consumer sends around 50 text messages a week. Depending on a few factors (the service provider, network etc.) the average delivery time for a text is under seven seconds. 57% of consumers were interested in signing up for brand’s SMS loyalty program and 90% of mobile users who participated in an SMS loyalty program felt they had gained value from it. This just shows how popular mobile messages are: 98% of text messages are read, compared to 22% of emails, 29% of tweets and 12% of Facebook posts. People are also more likely to click on...

Mobile television – a viable Mobile Aggregation idea

Another interesting trend birthed by the coupling of wireless handsets and mobile technology, is mobile television. The question: Are the Mobile Aggregation gurus onto something or not? According to a recent study (TV Untethered) in the USA – they are! The research uncovered that over 40 million consumers are imagery. After all, anything is possible with Mobile Aggregation. You can also be sure that television producers will take note of this as well and, just like web developers had to cater for the mobile community, they will do the same. Not to mention that this will create a brand new space for advertisers to dig into. If you are looking for a Mobile Aggregation Service provider, remember that Integrat is only a click...
