Currently, the use of new technologies has become so widespread that they become essential in our lives, reaching the point of not knowing how to respond to the question: how many devices do you use per day?
So, if we made a list of all the devices that we use throughout a day, it would always be headed by computers, smartphones, tablets and many more that need a battery to operate.
However, one of the big bugs of technology today is the battery life, because, how long can the battery of our mobile devices last? Can we “survive” without them? And your customers?
In today’s article we will analyse the behaviour of users of mobile devices in the situation of lack of battery and to what point the mobile charger has become indispensable for many users.
51.6% of Spaniards are “addicted to mobile chargers”
A recent study on the behaviour of users of mobile devices in relation to their battery made by Huawei concludes that more than half of Spanish population claim to be addicts to mobile chargers.
They try to charge their devices in any place: at work, in the university or in a restaurant to avoid running out of battery. For them, the mobile phone charger is a basic accessory.
On the other hand, the study reports that there is 33% of users who can survive with the mobile phone without power for a certain time. These are very cautious and try to reduce consumption by pausing applications that do not use, activating the energy saving mode or in extreme cases activating the airplane mode.
Finally, the data of this study concludes with 15% confess to being in continuous search of chargers. It is a user profile that usually charges your mobile phone more than once a day and, usually, with a borrowed mobile phone charger. The most curious thing about them is the fact that they are willing to pay to be able to charge their phone.
How to build customer loyalty by satisfying a need?
As we have already said, more than half of users of mobile devices cannot “survive” without battery and some of them would even be willing to pay to find the solution.
It is very likely that a high percentage of your customers fit with this profile of Internet users, people who need to charge their mobiles at all costs to avoid being disconnected. It is true that the main solution they put to this problem is the use of power banks. However, these are gadgets that not all possess. It is about offering a solution at the right place and at the right time.
