Rosetta Offers Survey Insights to Forrester Customer Experience Forum Attendees
PRINCETON, N.J., June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketers gather at this week's Forrester Customer Experience Forum to find ways to build great multichannel experiences. Forum sponsor, Rosetta, reviewed its recent research and experience around the application of mobile and tablet technology to the customer experience and offers these observations.
"Through client conversations and recent studies conducted via our Consulting practice, Search/Media team and in our in-house usability lab, it's clear that we are evolving from a 'property' approach to mobile marketing," said Daniel Blackburn, Vice President of Mobile at Rosetta. "We can no longer think in terms of apps, sites and campaigns in silos. Instead, savvy marketers combine these assets to provide real value to the consumer across the buyer's journey.
"Although mobile can support each phase of the journey, most brands cannot afford to be everywhere at once. Thus, we leverage our proprietary approach to gaining deep consumer insights to uncover the real motivating factors for consumers to guide investments and prioritize the most impactful tactics," he said.
Some key Rosetta findings are:
- The context of use for devices like tablets varies beyond just physical location. For example, while 81 percent of respondents in a recent Rosetta survey indicated that they use their tablets in the living room, many of them were concurrently watching television.
- Users are quickly building high expectations for the quality of mobile experiences. For frequent, recurring tasks, users anticipated a mobile application would be available. Within apps, major sources of user frustration were trying to "go back" and a lack of location-based detection when users expected the app to cater more to their location.
- Tablet and mobile "searchers" appear more motivated than those using the desktop. In search, tablet keywords frequently outperform the desktop (despite lower volume).
Best practices our teams have observed in mobile search include:
- Creating unique experiences for tablet users, such as tablet-specific landing pages and tablet-focused ad copy and calls to action.
- Budgeting should be by day-part to align with tablet target audience usage patterns.
- Tablets, mobile and desktop campaigns perform differently and frequently require different strategies. They are optimized separately and should be reported separately.
"Our studies revealed many areas for brands to improve their approach to mobile, based on changing usage patterns, expectations and motivations of users," Blackburn concluded. "Marketers need to focus their efforts on critical moments in the buyer's journey, where mobile and other connected device tactics can best impact behavior."
