Push Beyond crunch the numbers to explain why a great mobile user experience is so important.

If you’re not taking advantage of the massive mobile audience out there, then we only have one question for you: why not? Google’s algorithm update dubbed ‘Mobilegeddon’ back in April 2015, has highlighted the importance of great mobile user experience. If your website isn’t mobile optimised you could be losing a lot of traffic!

We think after reading this post, you’ll look at mobile marketing in a whole different light!

1. 25% of smartphone owners, aged 18-44 can’t remember the last time their phone wasn’t next to them. (Fast Company)

2. Mobile ads perform 4-5 times better than online ads. (Hubspot)

3. More than 2 billion mobile users will make a mobile commerce transaction by the end of 2017. (Juniper Research)

4. 24% of the UK smartphone audience recall seeing an ad on their device. (Econsultancy)

5. There are 6.8 billion people on the planet, 4 billion of them own a mobile phone and only 3.5 billion use a toothbrush! (Hubspot)

You wouldn’t think number five was true! It’s astonishing, really! These stats highlight just how important it is to ensure your site is optimised for the mobile user – don’t completely ignore the ever-growing mobile audience! If you’re not careful your business could end up getting lost amongst the competition!
