Worldwide, growth in the adoption of mobile devices is set to continue apace for the foreseeable future. So it makes sense, then, that marketers would be moving quickly to adapt to this new channel. But an April 2012 survey of business leaders worldwide by email marketing services provider Strongmail found that 55% of respondents were not currently using mobile as a marketing channel.
Despite this, those currently without mobile campaigns seem to see the writing on the wall—43% of them planned to integrate mobile into their campaigns within the next year. Another 32% said they planned to develop mobile campaigns in a year or more, while only 25% said they had no plans for a mobile campaign at all.
