Why Mobile-only Shoppers are Changing Car Sales & Everything!

Why Mobile-only Shoppers are Changing Car Sales & Everything! | Must Market | Scoop.it

25% of consumers used ONLY a smartphone for automotive research & shopping before visiting a dealership. Find out why Mobile-only Shoppers are Changing Car Sales

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great share by +Tim McLain that should be read by ALL #marketing pros for its #socialmobile implications. Mobile is SO MUCH MORE than making information look good on a #smartphone .

As we were building http://www.curagami.com I got that strange feeling you get when you take a wrong turn. About halfway in you realize something isn't quite right. If we could do our first attempts at creating a #gamified #contentmarketing engine for #ecommerce over (and we can and will) I would have gone #mobilefirstdesign .

There are many ways Mobile First changes your process and product including:

* More likely to limit functionality (cuts down on superfluous bells and whistles).
* Flatten the design.
* Limit the color palette.
* Change the #informationarchitecture (from long form to combined snippets).
* More social.
* More gamified (phones are game consoles).

What is true for car dealers is true for all #webmarketing - Mobile is HERE and we best get used to it and embrace this revolution as it picks up speed and fury.

The Semantic Web: A Primer

The Semantic Web: A Primer | Must Market | Scoop.it

We all know the semantic web is coming, but what the heck is a "semantic web". The short course is machines understanding laguage in all its idiom and human vulnerabilities.


If "machines capable of understanding language" sounds a little Terminator 2 or confusing read this excellent primer from XML.com.

BTW, if you are thinking the semantic web changes everything from how we design and develop websites to how we think about information architexture and content marketer you are CORRECT.


If you have thoughts on what all of that means to how we did the ditches we need to actually create Internet marketing please share your thoughts, ideas and comments :). M
