2 Billion Consumers Worldwide to Get Smart(phones) by 2016

2 Billion Consumers Worldwide to Get Smart(phones) by 2016

Over half of mobile phone users globally will have smartphones in 2018

December 11, 2014 | Mobile
The number of smartphone users worldwide will surpass 2 billion in 2016, according to new figures from eMarketer—after nearly getting there in 2015. Next year, there will be over 1.91 billion smartphone users across the globe, a figure that will increase another 12.6% to near 2.16 billion in 2016.
Smartphone Users and Penetration Worldwide, 2013-2018 (billions, % of mobile phone users and % change)

SHARE THIS


For the first time, more than one-quarter of the global population will use smartphones in 2015, and by 2018, eMarketer estimates, over one-third of consumers worldwide, or more than 2.56 billion people, will do so. That 2018 figure also represents over half—51.7%—of all mobile phone users, meaning that feature phones will have finally become a minority in the telecommunications world.
Inexpensive smartphones are opening new opportunities for marketing and commerce in emerging markets where many consumers previously had no access to the internet. Meanwhile, in mature, established markets, smartphones are quickly shifting the paradigm for consumer media usage and impressing the need for marketers to become more mobile-centric.
eMarketer’s latest mobile user forecast added 19 new countries, bringing the total to 41—including our first estimates for any individual countries in the Middle East and Africa. In addition, we significantly expanded our coverage of countries in Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
On a country-by-country basis, here are year-by-year other milestones eMarketer expects during its forecast period:
  • 2014: China will top 500 million smartphone users for the first time.
  • 2015: Russia will surpass Japan as the fourth-largest smartphone user population.
  • 2016: India will exceed 200 million smartphone users, topping the US as the world’s second-largest smartphone market.
  • 2017: The US will surpass 200 million smartphone users, or nearly 65% of the country’s total population.
  • 2018: Indonesia will pass 100 million smartphone users, firmly established as the fourth-largest smartphone user population.
Following are the top 25 countries worldwide ranked by smartphone users in 2014, according to eMarketer estimates.
Top 25 Countries, Ranked by Smartphone Users, 2013-2018 (millions)
eMarketer bases all of its forecasts on a multipronged approach that focuses on both worldwide and local trends in the economy, technology and population, along with company-, product-, country- and demographic-specific trends, and trends in specific consumer behaviors. We analyze quantitative and qualitative data from a variety of research firms, government agencies, media outlets and company reports, weighting each piece of information based on methodology and soundness.
In addition, every element of each eMarketer forecast fits within the larger matrix of all its forecasts, with the same assumptions and general framework used to project figures in a wide variety of areas. Regular re-evaluation of each forecast means those assumptions and framework are constantly updated to reflect new market developments and other trends.

YouTube “How To” Video Searches Up 70%, With Over 100 Million Hours Watched In 2015

YouTube “How To” Video Searches Up 70%, With Over 100 Million Hours Watched In 2015


Google says most popular "how-to" searches include home-improvement, beauty and cooking related videos.

youtube-iconsbkgd-1920
People trying to figure out how to accomplish a home improvement project, fix their hair or prepare a recipe have helped grow YouTube’s “how-to” searches by 70 percent year-over-year.
According to new data released by Google today, not only are searches for how-to videos up, but the amount of how-to content viewed has grown as well, with more than 100 million hours of how-to videos viewed by North American users since January.

Searches related to “how-to” on YouTube are growing 70% year over year, with more than 100M hours of how-to content watched in North America so far this year.
YouTube found its most popular “how-to” searches are related to home-improvement, beauty and cooking videos.

The top how-to home improvement video searches include “how to unclog a toilet,” “how to remove wallpaper” and “how to decorate your bedroom.” For beauty, users are most often searching for how-to videos related to “prom hair,” “balayage” (a hair coloring technique) and “man bun.”
YouTube accounts much of its search growth to mobile, noting 91 percent of smartphone owners turn to their phones to complete a given task.

“Being constantly connected has trained us to expect immediacy and relevance in moments of intent – the I-want-to-know, I-want-to-go, I-want-to-do and I-want-to-buy moments,” reports Google, “These micro-moments are the new battlegrounds for people’s hearts, minds, and dollars.”
Google says Millennials have also played an integral role in driving YouTube’s search numbers. Citing its consumer study from last month, Google reports 67 percent of Millennials agreed they can find a YouTube video on anything they want to learn.

    How to Find Your Facebook Fans' Top Interests by Lindsay Dicks

    How to Find Your Facebook Fans' Top Interests
    In the era of data-driven web marketing, knowledge is power. In the world of social media marketing, the most valuable knowledge is the interest of your fans. With an accurate assessment of your fans’ shared interests, you can utilize that information to target future social media posts and advertisements to Facebook users who follow pages directly related to those interests. For example, if you have Facebook page about business news, and you discover that the majority of your fans are also fans of the TV Show “Shark Tank” you could utilize that information to grow your number of Facebook followers with a Facebook ad campaign targeted to people who LIKE the Shark Tank’s official Facebook page.
    The key to deriving this valuable information is to utilize Facebook’s built-in search engine. Below are three steps to find the Facebook pages that your Facebook fans follow.
    1. Go to the search bar at the top of Facebook and search the phrase “Pages liked by people who like [Insert name of your Facebook Page]. E.G. “Pages liked by people who like CelebritySites.”
           2.  If you want to find pages liked by people near your physical geographic location, choose the option “Pages liked by people who live near [Your page’s name]
     
                   SEO11131.jpg
         
           3.  If you want to find pages liked by people who also like your page, select the option and click the magnifying glass.
     
    Armed with this valuable information, you can apply this knowledge by targeting these pages in Facebook ads to promote your page to people who don’t follow your page yet. You can also consider running Google Display ads on websites that match the Facebook pages. For example, if you see that many of your page fans are also fans of  the USA Today Facebook page, you could add usatoday.com to your list of websites to target on Google’s list of websites eligble for Google Display ads.
     KEY TIP: DON’T FORGET YOUR COMPETITION! Consider some of your top competitors and use the same steps to find Facebook pages followed by their fans. Once you find those pages, consider adding those to your ad campaigns as well.

    FAQ 6 What is Mobile Marketing? | Organic SEO

    FAQ 6 What is Mobile Marketing? | Organic SEO 





    4 Reasons Why You Should Have A Mobile Version Of Your Business Website

    To begin, if you don’t have a mobile version of your business website, your mobile visitor is forced to view the desktop version of your website on the small screen of their mobile device.  This tends to lead to frustration and the visitor quickly leaves without finding what they were looking for.

    Before we purchase anything these days, we like to know a little more about what we are thinking about buying. Generally we will search online to read any reviews or complaints that have been posted about the product or services in question.  However, we know for any business to succeed it must ensure that it can provide information that its potential customers will want.  Certainly in the last few years the importance of mobile websites for local businesses has grown quite substantially.
    So, what are the reasons why you should have a mobile version of your business website and have it mobile friendly?  Below, I take a look at some of these.

    1)  Year by year the number of people who are choosing to use the internet for information is growing by leaps and bounds.  During the last ten years, there has been a huge rise in internet usage.  As a matter of fact, in the USA alone, it grew an amazing 150% between 2000 and 2010.
    2)  Around 60% of all people who own a mobile phone today will go online and around half of these will actually be spending time online at least once each day.
    3)  The creating of a mobile website for your business is relatively inexpensive.  Although, how they are designed is different from the way in which a traditional website will be designed because of the screen size and resolutions that need to be worked with.  Plus, you will find that creating such a site doesn’t take up as much time.
    4)  Mobile websites allow businesses to advertise their products and services directly to mobile phone users who use their mobile phone to search for products and services at the instant they are needed.
