Without a Mobile Presence You Will Be Left Behind

It’s time to get Mobile!

Without a mobile presence you will be left behind. Take a look at these figures and then take a look at your own website on your iphone or ipad or other tablet or smart phone.

• There are presently more than 5.3 billion mobile device subscribers.
• There will be nearly as many mobile devices as there are people in the world by 2015.
• There are 48 million people in the world who have mobile phones, even though they do not have electricity at home.

The issue is not that everyone has a mobile device, but that these devices give them Internet access – and many of them access the Internet only through their mobile device.

So ask yourself. Am I prepared for this mobile opportunity?

People don’t surf the mobile web. They know what they want and act on it. They want immediate information – your address, news, social media, product information. They recommend, buy, and follow up more than desktop users do.
