Spotlight on U-Campaign for Mobile Marketing Flexibility [Blog]

While currently one in every six online dollars is spent via mobile device, mobile influences 36 cents of every dollar spent in the store.  E-commerce is growing five times faster than traditional retail channels, and mobile commerce is growing three times as fast as e-commerce as a whole.

Mobile commerce is benefiting from an evolution in consumer behavior as well as improvements in technology. Increasingly consumers are shopping across multiple screens – desktops, smartphones and tablets – beginning their journey on one device, continuing on another, and completing the transaction on yet another.

Mobile is already the primary point of interaction for many consumers, who often first engage with brands by clicking through email campaigns and social links on their smartphone, or searching on a mobile browser. To date, it has been a challenge for marketers to capitalize fully on this behavior and create marketing campaigns that are customized for mobile.

In short, marketers need the ability to create mobile campaigns quickly and cost-effectively to make the most of every opportunity to reach shoppers on mobile, tablet or while shopping in an app.

To solve these challenges, U-Campaign, was designed to give marketers the flexibility to do just that!
