Make Sure Your Business is Mobile in 2015!

Is Your Business Mobile? 


According to www.SmartInsights.com, we passed the mobile user tipping point in 2014. What this means is that there are now more mobile only users that are on the internet than desktop users. The numbers are pretty startling...there are now about 1900 MILLION mobile users versus approximately 1700 MILLION desktop users globally. 

Which devices are most popular? (as of January 2015)


Here are some stats on the most popular devices that people are now using to search the internet: 
  1. 80% of internet users now own a smartphone and use it to search the internet
  2. 47% use a tablet
  3. 37% use a game console
  4. 34% use a Smart TV
  5. 9% use a Smart Watch
  6. 7% use a Smart Wristband

Where do internet users start their internet searches? 


According to the Smart Insights research, 48% of mobile users start their internet searches using a search engine. Another 33% started on a branded website (think Amazon), and another 26% started their search on  branded app (think Yelp). One other interesting stat shows that 89% of people are now using mobile devices to view social media via mobile apps. One more nugget to glean from this research has to do with responsive websites and e-commerce. This report showed that the ad to cart rate and sales conversion was still higher with Desktop and Tablets...not so much with smart phones. 

So what? 


At MSW Interactive Designs, we always ask, "So what?" Here is the answer to that question - having a standalone mobile website will allow you to display your important business information clearly and quickly to a mobile user, and may lead to better sales conversion for your business. If you are choosing a responsive website design, think carefully on how you are displaying your business information (think "calls to action") on the responsive website...especially if you are in the e-commerce world. 

MSW Interactive Designs can help! 


If you have any questions about mobile website design, or other mobile questions, give us a call at 573-552-8403. We can design a very user friendly mobile website presence for your business at a very affordable cost. Your question should be,"Can I afford NOT to have a mobile internet presence?"

Protect Yourself from Falling for Phishing or Spoofing Attempts.

We love to fish at the Lake of the Ozarks, but there is another kind of “phish” you should always avoid. 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...
