Mobile Trends — Payments, Beacons or Real-Time Buying

As digital marketing grows, we need to watch out for various mobile trends like payments, beacons, and real-time buying. The progress is intriguing because of cashless payments, targeted purchases predicted through beacons, and competitive advertising through real-time buying. The most innovative aspects of these mobile trends include expanding databases for marketing purposes. When people pay through mobile apps, the information becomes part of their purchasing history relevant to companies during campaigns. In generating leads, mobile payments, beacons, and real-time buying help by creating reliable data for analyzing past and possible future purchases. The mobile trends use information collected regarding clients to meet consumer needs, which results in satisfaction hence assisting with customer retention. In sales, these progressive tendencies help organizations realize their competitive edge by assessing purchasing patterns. The results assist in developing marketing strategies that boost sales.

The advantages of mobile trends in marketing include convenience, ease of use, viral potential, and mass communication. However, the marketing trend has some limitations, like privacy issues, mainly in the payment sector, which can create false purchasing records hence wrong predictions. The diverse property of mobile phones is a disadvantage because their operating systems (OS) are selective about apps downloaded. Some payment applications are not compatible with particular OS versions, and that deducts individual buying records from the database. If such transactions are unavailable, marketers will have challenges meeting consumer needs generally. The trend will remain in marketing for a while because mobile phones are becoming more sophisticated and adaptive to new technologies. I would recommend it to a client because it is convenient. However, the trend may become affected negatively after the post-COVID-19 due to increased transaction charges to cover lost revenue and reduced consumption.
