Are You Still Talking About the "Mobile" Web?
One of the reasons the Internet is so powerful, both as a way to put your story in front of customers and as a way to drive action, is its increasing ubiquity. The Internet isn’t a place anymore. You don’t “go online.” You are online, all the time.
Consider this:
- Google projects that 15% of all searches conducted this coming Black Friday will come from mobile devices.
- 40% of all mobile owners use the internet on their devices.
- 70% of smartphone users—some 63 million people—use their device while shopping in a store.
So, why is it that only 1 in 3 companies advertising on the web have a mobile optimized website?
Mobile isn’t as hard as it seems. You just have to have a plan.
- Ask yourself: “Is my site mobile enough?“
- Look at whether apps make sense for your business.
- Learn from what others are doing.
But, whatever you do, don’t sit on the sidelines. As I’ve said before, we’re not talking about the mobile web anymore; we’re talking about the web, period. The question is, are you talking about it at all?
