Besides, it is important for marketers to pay attention to these trends to reach the potential customers and generate convincing ROI for the investment.

Focus on Mobile Advertising

Mobile accounts for 24% of the time internet users spend on social media. This is quite an impressive considering the growth of mobile, especially smartphone, has been meteoric in the recent few years. In contrast, marketers are spending only 8% of the total ad spend on mobile advertising. The gap is disappointing as quite a large part of the market remain untapped and. The significance of the gap could be well understood with the fact that it is $25 billion worth opportunity in the US alone.

The number of Mobile Daily Active Users has already surpassed 844 million, which amounts to 60% of the total user base. In Q2 2015, Mobile advertising had constituted nearly three-fourth (76%) of the total advertising revenue of Facebook.

These figures clearly indicate the growing impact of mobile on social media advertising. It is high time for marketers to focus on mobile and social media; for sure, these are the new age revenue generators.
