Will "Cyber Monday" give way to "Mobile Monday?" 7 tips to consider

I’ve been asking for a while whether mobile’s the right choice for your business going forward (spoiler alert: it is). Here’s another example: New data from mobile website provider Usablenet,

“…found that retailers with both mobile sites and apps saw traffic increase at a higher rate from 2011 to 2012 (117 percent) than retailers with mobile sites only (98 percent)…”

Additionally, the company saw :

• Average increase of mobile site traffic, 2012 over 2011: 98 percent
• Average increase of mobile page views, 2012 over 2011: 74 percent

Mobile isn’t a “coming thing.” It’s here. Now. It’s expected that the world will have over 2 billion smartphones in just a couple of years, to add to the billion or so already in place.

How can you get ready? Here are a handful of tips:
