“The number of calls to U.S.-based businesses will increase by 107% in the next 17 months.” – BIA Kelsey • Mobile is about to unleash a massive increase in call-based

advertising…which will be so vast that many established companies will scramble

Everyone Loves a Good Mobile Device!

Mobile views on YouTube are now more than 1 billion views each day. Since 2010, mobile device traffic to YouTube has more than tripled.

1. It’s now very affordable to “Broadcast” your Infomercial or How to Video to a very large potential audience.

2. YouTube Videos are an incredible Source of Content that get indexed well on sites like Google (did we mention that Google owns YouTube?)

Connecting with them to earn their business.

Clearly, The Consumer

is now in Charge!

Our friends at Google call this....

The Traditional Model

The New Zero Moment of Truth

MERCHANT

" You'd never set up an 800# for your business

with nobody to answer the Phone. The Internet is

that 800# and its been set up for you even though

you didn't ask for it! People are "calling" you with

their web searches everyday. If People search for

your product or services and you don't "answer"

that search...who do you think will?"

- Jim Lecisnki, Managing Director Google

What does ZMOT mean for Merchants? • You only get one chance to make a great first

impression

• You have to be ready for when Consumers come

looking for you on whatever device they are using.

• You have to be aware and respond and learn

from what Consumers are saying about your

business online.

• With Mobile...the MOTS - Moments of Truths - are

merging...when consumers can search, decide,

buy and share all at once!

Are You Ready?
