New White Paper From Oxygen8 Communications Highlights Benefits of a Mobile Internet Strategy

BIRMINGHAM, England -

- Oxygen8 Offers Businesses Practical Advice and Guidance on how to Implement an Effective Mobile Commerce Strategy tr.im/p28m to Drive New Revenues

A new White Paper, entitled ‘Mobile Commerce has arrived - is your business ready?’, by Oxygen8 Communications www.oxygen8.com highlights the benefits of creating a mobile internet strategy tr.im/DcRj as a means of engaging with customers and driving new revenues.

The importance of a mobile commerce strategy is underlined by the fact that in the UK, 76% of mobile phone users are now internet enabled. Out of these, 54% of people are accessing the mobile internet at least twice a week and there are 16 million WAP users per month generating over 1.5bn page impressions each month [Source: MDA].

Mobile handsets have become increasingly feature rich allowing users to do more and more on their mobiles. In addition, mobile operators have introduced “all you can eat” data tariffs and improved data connection speeds, which has encouraged increased mobile internet usage.

Colin White, UK CEO of Oxygen8 Communications, says, “These days mobile internet users are not just downloading ringtones and games for their handsets. Most are using mobile handsets to do the same things as they use their home PCs for, like finding train times, using social networking sites and catching up on the news. The mobile phone really has become the PC in your pocket.”

White continues, “If you have a digital strategy on the web, then you can benefit from having a mobile internet strategy too, particularly if your target market is a consumer audience. Why wait until your customers or target audience is at home or work in front of their PC? Target them 24×7, on the move, anywhere, anytime. You can no longer afford to treat mobile browsing customers as an optional extra when defining your digital strategy.”

Launching a mobile internet strategy can potentially be a complex business. With multiple handset sizes and operating systems, one size does not fit all. Oxygen8 has the knowledge and capability to help businesses to launch a mobile commerce strategy tr.im/DcRA quickly and easily, and it is the only combined Network Operator and Mobile Aggregator in the UK which offers the following benefits:
