“We strive to educate markets,” Oversen said.
New mobile strategies are providing new ways to utilise payment methods via mobile services and advertisements.
Ovesen introduced a video displaying Natasha Friis, author of a the Twitter book, providing insight to the importance of mobile media commerce.
Friis said that the “future of commerce is tightly connected with the future of payment.”
We are entering a generation where we can’t tell the difference between traditional commerce and e-commerce, Friis said. Research shows the rise in mobile use is positively correlated with the increase in mobile payments.
“Consumers are entering the mobile space at a rapid speed,” Ovesen said. “Mobile payments are on the rise and mobile advertising is still in it’s early stages.”
Using examples, Ovesen illustrated mobile advertising strategies. Wupti is a Danish online electronic company that was executed within 14 days. Wupti used eyetracking to show analysis of where customers eyes are moving on the mobile page.
Results from a Gallup mobile analysis revealed that audiences displayed “43% advertisement recall,” according to Ovesen, adding that “10% of users will take action on behalf of the campaign.”
The media industry will see an increase in mobile sales with the introduction of mobile advertisements.
