Location Targeted ADs Are Paramount – As per a study conducted by Business Insider, native ads will make up 74% of total display ad revenue by 2021. These are micro moments of a different sort. You might have come across the commercials on an Internet dating site that shows you when someone compatible is nearby. This is because the consumer allows themselves to be tracked by the location of their smartphones. According to Search Engine Land, local searches also known as “near-me” searches are increasing at a rate of 50 percent much higher rate than general mobile searches.
In case of eCommerce marketing, the brands can send a coupon code to shoppers, notify them of current day’s sales or recommend a product based on their purchase history.
Live Streaming Is A Huge Mobile Opportunity – We all have come across the notification from Instagram and Facebook saying so-and-so has started a live video.

Although a live video is being broadcast to thousands or even millions of people, there’s some pseudo-intimacy involved.
Artificial Intelligence Is A Growing Force – AI tools just like chatbots, data analysis algorithms, personalized recommendation systems and predictive analysis are driving better content, which marketers can make use of for their mobile marketing campaigns.
