Unlocking Mobile Performance Marketing for E-Commerce Sellers

By James Haslam·Dec 20, 2025·4 min read

The article argues that mobile performance marketing (MPM) is a growth superpower for e-commerce sellers, driven by a 44% increase in mobile orders over two years and predictions that mobile commerce will exceed half of all e-commerce by 2028. Key data: Pew Research shows 95% of teens use mobile phones, while desktop usage declines. MPM offers cost-per-event (CPE) targeting instead of cost-per-install, enabling payment for meaningful actions like add-to-cart or purchase.

Improved pixel-based tracking on platforms like Shopify enhances attribution and ROAS measurement. E-commerce ads stand out in mobile feeds dominated by game ads. Actionable takeaways: (1) Target CPE campaigns for better cost efficiency; (2) Use dedicated tracking tools to attribute clicks to user behavior; (3) Choose partners optimizing for right KPIs with transparent reporting; (4) Explore innovative formats like playable ads for engagement.

The article concludes that ignoring mobile advertising leads to falling behind competitors.
