Competing for a scientist’s attention isn’t easy, which is why major suppliers seek to maximize every possible form of outreach. Still in its nascent stage, connecting with scientists via mobile devices presents a new way for suppliers to get some “face-time” with scientists. The infrastructure is there, and scientists (like the rest of the population), are increasingly relying on PDAs, smartphones and tablets for personal use. Many suppliers have yet to develop many (if any) applications designed specifically for mobile devices, but most of them have already invested resources in figuring out how to begin.
Enter BioInformatics LLC’s newest report Mobile Marketing to Life Scientists. Designed to instruct suppliers on scientists’ mobile device usage and preferences in the lab, this report will provide guidance as to how to move forward with a mobile device outreach strategy.
This report will help you to understand:
