⏳ Exploring Micro-Moments in Consumer Decision Journeys
What Are Micro-Moments?
Micro-moments occur when consumers turn to their devices for quick answers, decisions, or inspiration. Defined by Google as "I-want-to-know, I-want-to-go, I-want-to-do, and I-want-to-buy" moments, they represent opportunities for brands to meet consumers' needs instantly.
Why They Matter
In today’s fast-paced world, 91% of smartphone users search for information in the middle of a task. Brands that anticipate and address these micro-moments build trust and win conversions. For example, 50% of “near me” searches result in a store visit within 24 hours.
