Share This Post

NEW YORK - January 18, 2023 - (Newswire.com)

2022 saw an increase of 250 million smartphone users, bringing the total number to nearly 6.6 billion smartphone subscribers worldwide. More people than ever are using their smartphones for almost all of their interactions and transactions. In 2022, two-thirds of mobile users said they couldn't make it through the day without their devices.

An analysis of Start.io mobile data in 2022 supports this phenomenon. People are not just using their phones for the typically popular categories of chat, gaming and social media. Indeed, mobile is where people engage in everyday lifestyle commodities, such as food deliveries, financial services and more.

Here's a roundup of the notable mobile user behavior trends over the past year that may influence the advertising strategies of mobile marketers as 2023 starts. 

  • Travel: The travel industry continues to rebound. Consumers showed increased interest in travel, reflected in 32% growth on the Start.io mobile platform, making it one of the fast-growing categories in 2022.
  • Transport Services: Transport service apps were strong in 2022, also showing 32% growth. Existing transport services were keen to expand this past year, and alternative transport modes, such as bicycle rental and ride-sharing, are also growing in popularity.
  • Food: The Food category continues to be a strong performer, one of the most rapidly commoditized industries on mobile. Increased competition for shorter delivery times makes it a tight game for food delivery services and restaurants. In 2022, the Food apps category increased by 29%, with continued growth expected in 2023.
  • Fitness: Consumers appear to be keeping up with the health and fitness habits developed during the pandemic. In 2022, there was 29% growth in the Fitness category, a considerable increase compared to 2021.
  • Finance: Economic uncertainty has driven more interest in personal finance, reflected in 22% growth in the Finance apps category in 2022. Consumers are using their smartphones for banking, money transfers, financial planning and tracking.
  • Sports: The Sports category is always popular, and in 2022, significant growth can be attributed to the World Cup. Mobile usage for sports entertainment and sports news grew 17% in the past year.
  • News: 2022 was a busy year for news, including the Ukraine War, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the U.S. midterm elections and more. Year-on-year growth for the News category on the Start.io platform stood at 14%, while 51% of mobile users showed interest in News in 2022.

According to the Deloitte Insights 2022 Connectivity and Mobile Trends report, "Smartphones are the 'universal remote' of our digital lives." 

This is borne out by mobile data from the Start.io platform, garnered from 500K active integrated apps and 2.4 billion monthly active users. An analysis of 2022 data shows that mobile phones are becoming ever more essential to consumers, in every aspect of living.

This Thursday, March 28th, Scholars will celebrate the grand opening of its new location in Mandeville, Louisiana. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. and will take place at 1901 U.S. Hwy 190, STE 27, Mandeville, La.

Scholars is proud to be cutting the ribbon of its second location in New Orleans. This week’s event will also feature some NFL star power as Cam Jordan of the New Orleans Saints will be making an appearance. Renowned throughout the NFL for his ferocious and creative pass-rushing, Cam, the Saints all-time sack leader and 8x pro-bowler, is both a student of the game of football and a big believer in the importance of education off the field. Cam will meet and inspire the students and families of the community alongside Scholars CEO Matt Baxter and other special guests. 

The event is free to attend and will feature giveaways, food from local vendors, face painting, pictures, games, and other surprises.

Scholars of Mandeville owner Ryan Fitzsimmons is excited to give back to his community and to provide students in the area with world-class tutoring. “I’m always willing and able to help kids,” Fitzsimmons said. “I’m a huge believer in Scholars because I’ve seen it work. It’s really amazing and I’m excited to be a part of it.” 

Scholars' first Louisiana location was opened in 2021 by another NFL star, 5x Pro Bowl Offensive Tackle Terron Armstead. Scholars of New Orleans has brought the joy of success in school to hundreds of students over the past three years and provides the template which Ryan Fitzsimmons seeks to follow.

Scholars, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2024, has over 80 locations across North America. It uses its world-class curriculum and programming coupled with qualified, caring teachers to provide exceptional tutoring services for students of all ages. It has won the Canadian Franchise Association’s Franchisees’ Choice Award for nine consecutive years, while also boasting the Franchisee of the Year Award in 2023.
