Your First Steps toward Mobilization

Your consumers and clients live in a multi-device world. Mobile apps account for 52% of all time spent on digital media, and smartphone users spend 89% of their mobile media time using mobile apps. In 2014, 42% of all sales generated by leading merchants came from mobile apps, and experts are predicting 30% annual growth in mobile app revenue over the coming years. More and more people are taking to mobile commerce for its speed and convenience.

If your business doesn’t have a mobile presence, it’s time to get on board and place yourself in the palm of your customers’ hands. Whether they attempt to contact you via phone, tablet or laptop, you have to make yourself available on those devices and represent yourself with equal professionalism on each.

Don’t feel daunted – you don’t have to make a huge commitment of developing for mobilization. You can begin this journey simply by focusing on converting your existing website into a mobile friendly version.

Why Move to Mobilization?

Mobilization allows you to reach a wider target audience and enhance your connectivity with vendors and other contacts. Having a mobile-responsive website lets you retain its user interface and displays the design within the unique formats of each device, keeping the user-experience consistent across platforms. Mobilization also improves collaboration among your employees for better production and efficiency.
