During Ramadan demand is high, and consumers are continuously on the hunt for items that make their Ramadan gatherings unforgettable. Or they might be looking for the best deals for Eid vacation. It is an unmatched opportunity for most businesses to meet such a rise in demand and deliver a customer experience like no other.
What mobile marketing means
In simple terms, mobile marketing is a multichannel strategy for online marketing. It aims to target audiences on their smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Due to the popularity of these devices, there are several ways for businesses to reach customers via mobile marketing such as apps, email, social media, and SMS.
Ramadan: A dish for digital
In 2020, the world’s relationship with online platforms had to change. Extensive lockdown periods and work from home procedures opened our eyes to many tools and solutions that can help us get any job done remotely. With the convenience and time-saving benefits of such resources, that trend is here to stay.
Last Ramadan, searches related to online shopping increased by 134%. Interestingly, consumers did not need to exert any effort to conduct these searches. They were able to browse and order almost anything from the comfort of their homes, using just a few swipes and clicks on their mobile devices. That level of convenience is reshaping customer expectations when it comes to online shopping.
The evident increase in digital literacy has allowed customers to make use of all digital resources available at their disposal to maximize their productivity and comfort. Moreover, it has also expanded business opportunities to constantly innovate in creating their mobile marketing strategies and explore new ways to create well-rounded experiences that differentiate them.
What we know about consumer habits in Ramadan
At the start of Ramadan this year, we surveyed our followers about their readiness to try out the online ordering experience and around 50% of responders said they would “Absolutely” do so. Furthermore, 39% of responders cited the main reason would be “Convenience.”
Such insight is of high importance as it taps into the reasons today’s consumers are altering their habits in exciting and unprecedented ways.
How CEQUENS Communication Platform helps
It is crucial to note that with this shift in consumer behavior comes an extreme change in consumer expectations as well. This means businesses should strive to maintain an exceptional level of consistency at the intersection of the digital economy with the experience economy.
Our Communication Platform is equipped to manage the omnichannel process and support your business with boosting customer retention and customer loyalty. With services like Chatbot, you can design whole scenarios based on your consumer habits which helps you meet them halfway and assist their online shopping journey or even answer any questions they might have. In 2020, 76% of consumers in the UAE used their phones to search for Ramadan purchases. Chatbots play an important role in guiding customers through these searches and assisting them with finding what they need. Additionally, chatbots can fully execute secure payment transactions.

Make sure to be one step ahead and reach your customers where they are.
