About one online marketing dollar in every five spent in 2010 will go to a mobile campaign, says Borrell Associates. By 2015, the mobile share will have grown to almost two of every three dollars spent. Part of the reason for this heady forecast is the expected growth in the number of smartphones, Borrell Associates says.
The rest of the spectacular gains are simply the growing "mobilization" of consumer devices. Within five years, the majority of phones, computers, game machines, e-readers, and GPS navigation devices will be true mobile devices, each capable of receiving mobile-targeted advertising.
In effect, there will no longer be any real distinction between mobile and online, says Borrell Associates.
The other big change is that mobile campaigns will assume greater prominence for local marketers as well.
Today less than seven cents of every mobile marketing dollar is spent locally, by locally owned businesses. About 93 percent of mobile advertising is "national" in focus.
This will change as the devices themselves improve and the tools available to local marketers become less expensive and easier to use. By 2015, a quarter of every mobile marketing dollar will be spent locally, Borrell Associates forecasts.
