Telmetrics’ Bill Dinan to Address U.K. Local-Mobile Consumer Insights at 5th Annual Local Social Summit
London (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- As U.K. marketers embrace the mobile-powered transformation of local search, leading call measurement provider Telmetrics announced that Bill Dinan, president of Telmetrics, is speaking today at the Local Social Summit in London. Dinan will offer U.K. marketer attendees as well as social, local and mobile stakeholders from publishers, advertisers, investors and directories insights for understanding the U.K. consumer’s mobile path to purchase and the local search impact.
Local is at the core of effective mobile marketing. According to the xAd/Telmetrics 2013 U.K. Mobile Path-to-Purchase Study, local relevance is the top reason consumers click on mobile ads, and location is an important influencer for mobile search in the U.K. as nearly 50 percent of both smartphone and tablet searchers expect search locations to be within walking or driving distance. As two-thirds of mobile searchers don’t have a specific brand in mind, advertisers have an opportunity to influence these searchers’ purchase decisions by demonstrating their local relevancy.
“With U.K. mobile marketers outspending their global peers, understanding the influence of local is key to effectively monetizing mobile ad programs,” said Dinan. “As calls and searching for location info are key activities along the mobile path to purchase and represent strong conversion behaviours, mobile marketers should ensure their campaigns include phone numbers, location info and maps to aid consumers’ final purchase decisions.”
Mobile searches with local intent offer marketers high quality leads, as Dinan also discussed U.K. mobile users’ strong purchase intent with more than half (56 percent) reporting that they ultimately made a purchase.
The xAd/Telmetrics U.K. Mobile Path-to-Purchase Study, conducted by Nielsen, was based on an online survey of 1,500 U.K. smartphone and tablet users.
