Do You Really Need a Mobile Website?

By MSW -


Go Mobile to Go Big!
Did you know that the average iPhone user only spends 45% of their time using their device to make phone calls?  Did you also know that 1 in 5 internet users in the United States ONLY use their mobile device and not a computer?  Predictors of Mobile trends say that by 2015, mobile internet users will overtake desktop users.

Get your mobile site going now!
Mobile websites are a great way to portray your service or product on a smartphone, smart tablet, or other mobile device.  Mobile sites are slimmed down versions of your desktop website and allow viewers to quickly get the information they are looking for.  Examples of content for your mobile site might  include your services, relevant images, video, products, inventory, contact information, and directions to your brick and mortar storefront.  Consumers are quickly becoming comfortable with buying online via mobile websites and mobile market share is growing at a phenomenal rate.

A personal story:
A year ago, I was in the market for a truck that would pull our travel trailer.  I had specific performance requirements and wanted to buy a vehicle made in the US.  Sandy and I were traveling to see family in St Louis, and as we made our way up Hwy 54 and Interstate 70, I was searching for car dealers who had mobile sites.  I would search their car inventory and if a vehicle looked like a good fit, we would pull off the highway and look at it.  I found a truck at a dealership in Wentzville, we stopped and looked, and I bought the truck.  The dealers who had no mobile site had no chance at my business!

Email is a popular target for cyber criminals to gather information and is often used for “phishing”. This communication method is an easy way to steal sensitive details about people or deposit malware or a virus on your device.  It’s widely used, because most people are generally trusting and/or curious. Our internet marketing company in mid-Missouri gets questions about this kind of activity from our clients. Learn what phishing is and how you can better protect yourself from a potential threat: What is Phishing? The term Phishing is coined after “fishing” and is when a cyber-criminal hangs a digital “lure” and waits for an unsuspecting victim to bite. A phishing email typically has a link for the email user to click, and attachment to open, or prompts an email reply. Once you’ve taken the requested action on a phishing email, the cyber bug is in and likely gathering p...
