Almost everyone has a mobile phone, there are three times as many mobile users than television owners or internet users. Life is mobile, people are on the go, and nearly everyone has a mobile device of some kind to help them get through the day. As a result, the mobile device has become the cornerstone of our society in how we communicate, and indispensable to the practice of marketing. The world has changed and so must the practice of marketing. The cell phone has gone from the third screen to the first screen in reaching consumers. Riding on a subway, walking down the street, eating lunch, shopping, attending a sporting event, communicating with your friends, and how about having dinner with your family, the Smartphone is everywhere.
