No-contract plans are gaining steamRemember when phones cost $100 with 2-year contracts? Ah… the good ole days. With the rise of no-contract plans, consumers are expected to buy a smartphone outright, pay for it in monthly installments, or buy into an upgrade program. NOTE: Phone upgrade programs are also called equipment installment plans (EIP).

Now consumers are keeping their phones longer1The number of consumers bringing their own phones to a carrier is steadily increasing.2 21.6 monthsSmartphone life cycle in U.S.1

TIP Consumers are bringing both existing and new phones onto carrier networks. Because carriers offer a limited selection of devices, consumers may look elsewhere—including search engines—for their next phone.

Capture more searchers with a brand term and conquesting keyword strategy. Combine that with ad extensions, like Enhanced Sitelinks and Image Extensions, that attract attention by increasing the size of your Main Line ads.

How are your offerings different from your competitors? Better specs? Better service? Let searchers know in your ad copy and landing pages. SOURCE: 1.

Carriers respond with upgrade programsLooking to grow sales and customer loyalty, wireless carriers and Apple now offer upgrade programs with phone swaps every 12, 18, or 24 months.

Across devices: Customers are looking for deals on smartphone brands, as might be expected. Successful ad titles include keywords pertaining to Smartphones (e.g., “smartphone trade”, “smartphone”) and Deals/Discounts (e.g., "deal“, “save”, “offer”), while their descriptions feature keywords specifying, Time (e.g., “limited time“, “annual”, “month”), Brand, and Deals/Discounts.PC + Tablet: PC and tablet searchers are looking to compare contract terms and explore alternative service plans. Including keywords for Services (e.g., “text data”, “unlimited talk”, "prepaid cards") and Mobile/Devices (e.g., "contract cell", "prepaid phone") is a smart strategy. Successful description keywords include Time and Find/Compare (e.g., "find", "pick").Mobile: Ad copy served to mobile searchers featured titles with Smartphones and Deals/Discounts, similar to the cross-device results. However, ad titles specifying Price/Pricing (e.g., “$ switch”, “$ month”, “data $”, “internet $”) were particularly engaging to mobile searchers. Mobile searchers responded well to descriptions featuring Deals/Discounts (e.g., “free shipping”, “trade offer”, “save”) and Brand keywords.
