Join the Mobile Revolution! • 62% of Americans own a Smartphone with web access • 88% of Americans aged 18-29 own a Smartphone • By the end of 2013, there were more mobile devices on Earth than people! • 64% of affluent app users say they view brands with apps more favorably • The number of US mobile coupon users will rise from 12.3 million in 2010 to 53.2 million in 2014, driven by the rapid adoption of Smartphones • 55% of consumers express an interest in mobile coupons but only 10% have actually received one from a merchant • Overall app use in 2013 posted 115% year-over-year growth!

  5. Native Apps vs. Web Apps • Both Options Present Advantages & Disadvantages – Ideally Provide Both • Native Apps – Designed for iPhone or Android, Downloaded from App Stores • Mobile Native Apps are Critical • As of last year, apps from retail businesses took up to 27% of consumer’s time • Web Apps – “Mobile Friendly” Websites • Mobile-Friendly Websites Affect Your Brand • 67% of consumers say they are more likely to purchase from a mobile-friendly website over one that is not optimized • Mobile internet usage is predicted to overtake desktop internet usage by 2014 • Two Mobile Website Options: • Responsive Design Website • Single Website designed to be accessed by any type of device • Website adjusts to the size of the user’s screen • Separate Mobile Website or “.Mobi” site • Different URL for desktop & mobile site • Senses device type & responds with appropriate page • Provides access to frequently visited pages, but not necessarily all pages

  6. Native Apps vs. Web Apps

  7. Responsive Website or Separate Mobile Website? • Again, both options present pros & cons but Responsive Design Websites appear to be the best option: • One Website, Many Devices – • Responsive websites have one URL & the same HTML code regardless of device • Provides a great user-experience across many devices & screen sizes • Easier for users to share, interact with & link to than content that lives on a separate mobile site • Recommended by Google – • Easier & more efficient for search engines to “crawl” • Google states that responsive web design is its recommended mobile configuration & an “industry best practice” • Easier & Less Expensive to Manage – • Changes to website are only done once

  8. Responsive Design Website

  9. Native Smartphone Apps • Apps are coded in a different programming language for each device “operating system” or “OS” • Apps are downloaded from different app stores for each operating system • Apple iOS Devices = App Store • Android OS Devices = Google Play • Apple iPhones / iPads & Androids are the dominant technologies

  10. iPhone & AndroidDominate the Market

  11. Native Apps Provide Better “Location-based” Information Native apps are GPS-based & offer location-aware information: • Where Am I? • What’s Around Me? Location-Based Features Include: • Integrated Mapping • Dynamic Distance Measurements – How far away is the next winery? • Turn-by-Turn Routing – How do I get to the winery? • GPS Triggering - Proactively alert users when they have reached a location • “Around Me” Features – Display a map based on the user’s location
