Checking Email Was The Top Mobile Activity In 2013

January 14, 2014 By Tim Somers 4 Comments

I just read that checking email was the top mobile activity for both smartphone and tablet users. I have been fighting using my iPhone for email due to the simple fact that I get way to many emails every day and feel I will be overwhelmed and even worse not respond or deal with the email once opened on my smartphone.

Email MarketingNevertheless as a marketer I really need to consider these statistics when sending emails to my clients and prospects. They need to be mobile friendly emails, short and sweet nothing long that will be cumbersome to read on a mobile device. I can’t tell you how many pdf quotes I send off and then get back a message saying I will get back to you once I review it on my desktop. What does this tell me…hmmm, well maybe they are just being courteous and letting me know they received my quote and will get back to me. This is not the norm though, my guess is they couldn’t open it or it was just too small to see on their phone.

All this makes me wonder about my email marketing strategy, does my bi-weekly newsletter ever really get read. Sure the open rates are pretty good, but the newsletter is sent in html and not sized for mobile.

What are your thoughts? Do you read your emails on a desktop or mobile device?

To Your Success!

    I wonder how much of this time is spent deleting spam, and other activities that do not include reading e-mails. How much can you make your e-mail stand out to prospects when they are spending so much time ploughing through SPAM, and deleting it.

    Hey Mio, that is a good point. We get a ton of Spam but use Spamarrest to help keep it all under control.

    I use Constant Contact for my Newsletter- it tells me what is opened- how many hits I get and that way I can gauge what is working…

      Lisa, I hear great things about Constant Contact – sounds like some great stats are available for users.

Tracy Hill is wonderful, and is a great resource for all business owners. Tracy helped me get Style Books with my logo embossed on them, and I couldn't be happier with them. She worked with me and the vendor to make sure everything was perfect. Her customer service and follow-up was wonderful. I would highly recommend working with Tracy to any business owner needing marketing materials/promotional products!

Tim: Just like when one of my gift baskets arrives and you're so excited when you open the box and you're seeing something magical for the first time--that's how I felt when I saw those magnets. You did a fabulous job!

Mary Lewinski, Extra Special Baskets    Website   

I would like to thank Tracy Hill for a fantastic job. I had a huge networking event fast approaching and I needed promotional items for my vendor table. Tracy was able to recommend several options and cleaver ideas. We were able to place my order and I received the items in time for my event. I ordered pens and they look amazing.

I would highly recommend Bizarre Marketing and I would definitely recommend Tracy, she is the BEST!

I am so happy with my pens and business cards. I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw my pens (pink no doubt). My business cards are amazing - I finally got official cards with my logo, no more generic cards (they served their purpose). Tracy Hill was my representative and she is the absolute BEST! She helped me with ideas for an upcoming event and ensured everything would arrive on time for event.

Thank you Tracy for helping me with our health fair. The Large insulated bags were a hit and are of very high quality. The pin wheels with our name on the handle were a hit as well with the children and the parents.
