Who can remember the days of actually setting an alarm clock?
I can bet than more than half of you now use your smartphone as your alarm clock. And this is the shift that is taking place – Mobile devices are part of our daily habits.
It is our first interaction, and it is where we go to get news, weather, finiance, email, and social updates – Essentially our 1 stop for everything that is important to us.
As marketers – Either SMBs attracting new clients, or Companies attracting SMBs to use your profudcts, you need to present as to where your target customer is – and they are on their msartphones and tablets. And if mobile is not part of your advertising strategy, then hopefully by the end of this webinar you’ll have changed your mind.
An effective website paired with relevant advertising across search, social, and mobile can do wonders for a small business.
- Investment cases of where marketers are spending money
And these clicks may be high value, thanks to Yahoo searchers’ buying power.
Yahoo searchers spend 18% more than the average internet user (Source: comScore custom report, PC universe, December 2014)
Yahoo Desktop Searchers spend $4.2 billion online monthly, representing
39 million online transactions (Source: comScore Web Explicit Search, March 2015, US PC data)
The Yahoo Mobile Searcher spends 9% more online than the average mobile searcher (Source: Ipsos Media CT, survey of 1,366 Yahoo Mobile Search users, June 2015)
41% of the mobile Yahoo Search audience lives in a $100k+ income household (a higher % than any other engine)

75% of SMBs think digital advertising is effective in attracting new customers
And that success can be attributed to the highly targeted audience they are attracting, and in return almost half of smbs will spend more on digital marketing.
Why this increase? Well, we,ve been talking about for some time, but 2015 is positioned to be the year more srarches will occur on Mobile devices opposed to desktops.
And once we hit that tiping point, we will see more dollars shift to this medium.
For marketers, there is an important caveat: Return on investment (ROI) hasnot reached a similar tipping point. ROI on mobile search is improving, but it will continue to trail desktop search ROI next year—and further into the future, until mobile performance measurement, particularly in relation to the impact on sales in physical stores, gets more precise. Attribution.
But the ubiquity of smartphones, and consumers’ growing use of phones in almost every waking moment of the day, means that search will be more mobile than desktop next year. The importance of search in the digital experience makes this a trend that bears watching.
In a year punctuated by mobile-related milestones, one in particular stands out. 2015 will see mobile search reach the tipping point—the stage at which the majority of spend, organic traffic and paid clicks comes from smartphones and tablets, surpassing traditional desktop/laptop search activity, according to a new eMarketer report, “Key Digital Trends for 2015: What’s in Store—and Not in Store—for the Coming Year.”

And in 2015 we can expect that to increase to 13B – 50% of our digital budgets.
2x estimated growth of mobile paid search industry in 2015
SCRIPT:
More than 50% of US mobile phone users and 40.5% of the US population will search on mobile phones using a browser or app at least once a month. More than 99% of mobile phone search users will search via smartphones. According to a recent study by eMarketer, US mobile phone search audience will see double-digit growth through 2017. (via eMarketer)
Of the 24.4 billion minutes across all devices, search is the second most important channel for finding content, after friends and family (source Nielsen CD report Q4 ’13). Users are spending approximately 9 billion minutes searching, with much of that activity peaking during the evening and weekends.
Today’s product searcher is a multiplatform searcher. 75% of those that searched on their Smartphone in the past week for information about a product they were considering purchasing also made related searches on another device, such as a PC or tablet.
An effective website paired with relevant advertising across search, social, and mobile can do wonders for a small business.
Investment cases of where marketers are spending money
Add number to weekend
Searches for locations are common. 64% of Smartphone owners searched for a nearby store in the past week. 54% searched for a place to eat in the past week. Query data from Yahoo Mobile Search shows that the percentage of searchers using ‘near me’ in their queries has increased by 56% in the past 6 months.1 The percentage of searchers using ‘nearby’ has also increased by 38% in the past 6 months.1
According to a study of mobile searchers, 94% of those searching for a nearby store visited the store. 73% of them made a visit to a store they found within 5 hours. Understanding how and when consumers purchase is important for attribution context.
Whether our searchers bought or not, the mobile search was generally one step among many. Mobile shopping searchers took several follow-up actions after searching. 66% continued their research, and 59% conducted more related searches.
Also important to note is that shoppers do many things on their mobile devices within the shopping cycle. Over half of our mobile searchers said that they often read or looked for news articles on their mobile device around the same time that they searched. Marketers have many opportunities to engage the shopper.
Search is at an inflection point where consumers are beginning to favor mobile devices. More than half of yahoo searches are now done via mobile.
