8 out of 10 of the American consumers are online at least once a day
In the speaking notes - mention check our phones 150x/day - we might be checking email, texting or checking our facebook feed. But in some moments, we have an intent or a need that we’re acting upon - when we’re trying to find inspiration or make a decision. It’s these intent-rich moments, that are most interesting and valuable for marketers.
Transition: we call these moments, micro-moments.
5- there are many moments …
150x a day. Some of these moments are when you are checking the time, texting with a partner, or catching up with friends on social media. While these may be useful to you the user, it’s not really important for businesses to be there. Because consumers are in control it’s easy for them to ignore brands that try to interrupt their experience.
6- but then there are moments that really matter
But then there are those moments that really matter. We call these micro-moments, when people are looking for answers, discovering new things, or making a decision. These are the I want-to-know, I want-to-go, I want-to-do, and I want-to-buy moments - and they’re the new battleground for customers hearts, minds and dollars.
This morning, I’m going to talk a little bit about these micro-moments--what they are, how they’re changing the rules, and why they matter.
The good news is, as marketers, we already have all of the tools we need to win. Within your own organizations, you are the best positioned to not only understand these new customer behaviors but to act. And to do this you need to focus on three things. Identifying your micro-moments, delivering on consumer needs in the moment, and measuring all of the moments that matter.
I’ll talk about each for just a moment, starting with identifying the micro-moments to win.
You know better than anyone what your customers needs are. If I asked you to write down all of the micro-moments that are important to your business right now, you would be able to rattle off a great list. But its worth re-evaluating that list in the context of mobile. Ask your customers and your service reps how they use mobile. Occasionally the answers will surprise you.
When it comes to understanding intent and context, Google is one of your best sources of insight. Ask your Search teams for queries that people use to reach you today on mobile. Try and understand how those queries vary based on whether someone is at home, on the go, or even standing in your store.
Finally, talk to your analytics teams to understand what content customers are already trying to find on your website or app today.
These are all great starting points for understanding the moments you need to win.
When it comes to delivering on your customer needs in the moment, mobile presents a new set of challenges.
Building great experiences that surprise and delight requires alignment across teams and technologies.
You have to consider your content strategy, your digital media, your app and website design, and even integration of a variety of contextual signals and data in order to make great experiences a reality.
The complexity here is staggering, but as a leader you can cut through that complexity by building cross-functional teams and focusing them on defined consumer needs.
For each of your key micro-moments, map out people’s intent and context, then walk through the experience just as they would. Try navigating to your site using search or visiting your content on YouTube, see how the interaction flow does or doesn’t meet user needs on a mobile device Then try it while standing in one of your stores to see how the experience differs.
By identifying gaps and focusing on customer needs, your teams will have the true north that they need to deliver great experiences.
And finally, you need to measure every moment that matters
Mobile has fragmented the path to purchase into hundreds of micro-moments. As digital marketers, often times we get wrapped up in the search for perfect measurement.
In a world of complex journeys and moments-based behavior, however, we don’t need measurement perfection, we need to think holistically about connecting the dots and understanding mobile’s contribution broadly.
To do this, begin with company wide KPIs. Is your goal to drive volume or profit?
Then ask, who needs to buy in. Do you need to align ecommerce and store divisions around a common goal for digital?
Once you set the right KPI, try to estimate the impact of of digital across outcomes. The online conversion is no longer enough. With digital, outcomes can vary from increased brand awareness, to conversions that span devices and apps, to sales that happen over a call or even in a store.
Accounting for all of these new outcomes is critical. And while the tools to measure are still imperfect, it’s important to put the measures in place and begin iterating on them. Over time, the tools and methods will become more precise, but only if you begin to build them now.
Finally, we are here to help. Today is as much about providing you insight into what we see in the industry as it is about engaging in a dialogue about your business and how these insights can be applied. We are committed to your success, and look forward to the discussion.
use go/teacup!
Mobile has really been the catalyst for this behavioral change which can be characterized by three behaviors:
1) immediately acting on any stimulus,
2) higher expectations for fast and frictionless experiences and answers
3) unscripted decisions which make us less loyal to brands and more loyal to our needs in the moment.
