WE MAKE MOBILE BETTERTen years ago, Fortune 5000 global brands were rushing to integrate the Web in their business and sales processes.
With the accelerated adoption of smartphones and tablets, companies have a similar opportunity to create winning mobile strategies to engage customers.
The mobile industry represents an enormous opportunity for brands who understand how to win. Competitors are moving quickly. Just like the gold rush of the web, mobile represents a significant
shift in consumer behavior as it has become the primary engagement channel; new industry leaders will emerge and incumbents will fade.
Being able to measure, focus and
improve usability leading to an optimized mobile experience is vital.
As the leader in brand mobile optimization, multi-award winning MOB4HIRE uses it's international
community of mobile experts in over 150 countries to provide market research, mobile engagement measurement (MEM), usability, user experience and
functional testing services to Fortune 5000 global brands, telecoms, ad agencies, market research agencies, publishers, content providers, SIM companies, mobile app and mobile web
developers.
The MOBEXPERIENCE research service helps companies avoid “The Curse of the One Star!”: no downloads, purchases or word-of-mouth. By incorporating user
feedback early and often in both pre- and post-launch development cycles, companies can create 4 and 5 Star mobile experiences and enjoy mass adoption and viral growth. The Leader in Brand Mobile Optimization
The mobile experience is about user engagement and participation.
Before downloading, using or purchasing mobile apps, mobile consumers want to see at least Four Star user reviews in app stores. To make great software, websites and mobile marketing campaigns, it’s vital to do usability research with real people on real carriers in
real-world situations.
MOBEXPERIENCE offers high-quality feedback delivered fast at a fraction of the
cost of traditional market research methods.

PRODUCT TEAMS
For product teams looking to measure and improve their mobile experience, MOBEXPERIENCE lets developers know what’s important to users and where to focus limited and strained development resources. Additionally, MOBEXPERIENCE delivers in-market functional testing on representative handsets and carriers that is vital to ensuring the mobile experience can survive in real-world situations.
During the research, different usability Technical Attributes (TA’s) such as installation, launch, GUI ease of use, stability, location and connectivity will be assessed.
MARKETING TEAMS
The Content of a mobile experience is highly integrated with the technical requirements.
Marketing Teams assess the Content Attributes (CA’s) in MOBEXPERIENCE to help ensure content and media is engaging, that marketing messages are on target, and that the graphics and output are easy to understand.
BRAND MANAGERS
Brand Managers primarily benefit from knowing two areas related to their mobile strategy:
1) Does the mobile experience reflect the quality of the master brand?
2) Does the mobile experience drive further engagement of the master brand?
MOBEXPERIENCE evaluates Brand Attributes (BA’s) of brand relativity, brand suitability and localization concerns such as language and relevancy.

IMPACTMOBILE ENGAGEMENT
METRICS (MEM’S)The Impact of a mobile experience on
a user can be assessed by measuring customer loyalty behavior; loyalty measurements are leading indicators of the growth and adoption of a mobile solution.
MOB4HIRE deploys two types of loyalty measuring systems:
I. The proprietary MOBSTAR Rating closely tracks the
response that consumers have with mobile experiences; in its simplest terms, how consumers rate mobile apps in app stores and other online marketplaces.
II. The RAPID Loyalty Measurement and Management System* incorporates three customer loyalty dimensions:
1. Customers will use it again
(“Retention”)
2. Customers will recommend it to others (“Advocacy”)
3. Customers will be likely to explore other services
(“Purchasing”)
“WHAT DO WE NEED TO FOCUS ON?”MOBEXPERIENCE research results includes both qualitative “soft” feedback (a.k.a. “verbatims”) from users as well as quantitative measures of Impact vs. Performance. In the graph below from a customer project report-out, Impact is ranked on the left axis with Performance Attributes mapped along the bottom axis; survey results can
be interpreted to focus teams on improving the mobile experience.
* RAPID Loyalty Measurement and Science is licensed from Dr. Bob Hayes, Ph.D., a leading customer loyalty expert, speaker and author www.businessoverbroadway.com.
KEY DRIVERS: These attributes have a negative impact on users. INVEST in these areas. FIX and IMPROVE these product attributes.
HIDDEN DRIVERS: LEVERAGE as strengths in order to keep current customers loyal. ADVERTISE as strengths in marketing collateral and sales presentations.
WEAK DRIVERS: DISREGARD as lowest priority for investment. These areas have relatively low impact on improving customer loyalty.
VISIBLE DRIVERS: CONSIDER as strengths in marketing collateral and sales presentations in order to attract new customers. EVALUATE as areas of potential over-investment.
* RAPID Loyalty Measurement is included in the MOBEXPERIENCE Standard Package and above.
