You Need a Mobile Website


Should you have a mobile web site in addition to a desktop site? Three reasons why you should:
  1. A web site designed to display on a desktop computer monitor doesn't translate well to the very small screen of a smart phone.
  2. Smart phone use different navigation tools (no mouse to click), making it harder to move around a desktop site using a mobile phone.
  3. Smart phones use is growing. According to a 2011 report from market research company iSuppli, the number of smart phones shipped in 2009 was 16% of the total market; by 2011, the percentage rose to one-third of the total volume; and iSuppli predicts that by 2015, over half of all mobile phone shipments will be smart phones. Smart phones provide another way for business to communicate with their customers.
Currently there is a big push to have print and mobile work together. Printing a QR code on sales collateral, a newsletter or a direct mail piece opens up a new dimension of customer communication. When scanned by a smart phone, a QR code can lead anywhere-- to a web site or video, a map, additional information, a coupon or product review or many other places.If a business obtains the customer's permission (ie, opt-in), the business can send messages to the smart phone with special offers or contests, all designed to increase customer loyalty.
