Google Predicts 44% of Searches for Last-Minute Holiday Gifts in 2011 Will Be Mobile

Sep 082011

Do you ever find yourself stuck and wondering what to get that hard-to-buy-for friend or family member?

You’re not alone. Now where do you turn?

More and more people are turning to their smartphones, especially when the information they’re seeking is timely and location-sensitive — just like shopping for last-minute gifts for the holiday season.

Google knows this and, digging into its vast repository of data, has actually made a prediction about how many folks will use their mobile devices to search for last-minute gifts this coming holiday season.

Their prediction? 44%.

That means more than 4 of every 10 shoppers searching for last-minute gifts will be using a mobile device.

But wait, there’s more!

Google also predicts:

  • 15% of total “Black Friday” searches will be from mobile devices
  • 65% of high end device users report that they have used their device to find a business, and then made a purchase at that business in person
  • greater than 33% of both smartphone users and tablet users plan to start their shopping before Thanksgiving

Now what does your website look like on a mobile device?

If you’re not happy or you don’t know, click here — let’s talk and solve the problem.

Mobile traffic is only going to keep growing and we still have a short window before the 2011 holiday shopping season. The time is now!

MOBIFY WEEKLY – SPECIAL MOBILE METRICS ISSUE

Aug 272010

Hello everyone and welcome to a special issue off Mobify Weekly! This week we look at some articles that feature mobile web stats, starting off with one of our own!

Mobile Web Visitor Behaviour by Device Number of clicks, pageviews and duration of stay are interdependent with the type of device the user is on and, of course, the website. We look at these and some other cool metrics in our report.

Android Mobile Web Use Up 400% in Q2, Outpacing Apple & BlackBerry Android’s rate of traffic growth is staggering. As the overall market continues to grow, both web and app use are continuing to climb. Traffic stats courtesy of UK mobile analytics firm Bango.

Mobile Web traffic grows, not slows, during summer What only seems logical (people don’t spend as much time at home and, therefore, have to be surfing the web on their mobile devices) would seem common sense if only the numbers didn’t reflect a much larger curve: one where there is exponential growth in mobile website visitors. People are browsing the web more everyday!

Smartphones Propel Mobile Net Use. Stats confirm what everyone’s thinking. A good portion of us can’t go a day without browsing the mobile web. eMarketer thinks that rougly 28 percent of the U.S. population accesses the web on their phone everyday. Metrics by AdWeek.

Have a great weekend and see you all next week!
