Written By: June Bachman ~ 7/23/2016 9:00:00 AM

The mobile experience has dramatically changed forever, the way consumers interact with businesses and brands.  Several times a day people grab their mobile device to find information on the fly.  Google coined the phrase micro-moments to describe the moments when consumers act on their immediate need.

Micro-moments are defined as the moments when a consumer needs the following:

Want to Know – when consumers are exploring or researching

Want to Go – when consumers are looking for a local business nearby

Want to Do – when consumers want help with a task, or find something new

Want to Buy – when consumers are ready to buy, or need help with what or how to buy

Step One:  Anticipate how to show up.  Determine your customers' micro-moments.
