The Moments that really make a difference: Micro-Moments
Hey Fellas, here we are going to tell you about a newly discovered fruit in marketing as the name suggests, micro-moments marketing and yeah it is as delightful as the moments chocolate bar.
The moments when the thoughts of “I want-to-know”, “I want-to-do,” “I want-to-go,” and “I want-to-buy” arise an urgency of satisfaction that individuals seek is automatically created. Because of this, people want immediate gratification, and they are making decisions faster than ever before. Google introduced them as ‘micro-moments’ in 2015.
This behavioral change has been created and sanctioned by the growing use of smartphones. Whether smartphone users are looking for a product or want to gain knowledge of particular topics, they not only have increased the expectations for speed, they also hasten to achieve their tasks.
What are micro-moments?
Micro-moments occur when user reflexively turn to a device — increasingly a smartphone — to act on a need to learn something, do something, discover something, see something, or buy something.
They are intent-rich moments when decisions are made and preferences shaped.
