Mobile Websites Reduce Lost Traffic
Want to Convert 10% More Traffic to Sales?
Business success is not always about getting more traffic to your website. It might be better to reduce lost traffic with a good mobile website experience.
This chart above shows data from one of our customers who did not have a mobile site. Notice how many users (31%) were using mobile technology (smart phones and tablets.) Look at how many less web pages they visited, and how much less time they spend on the page.
Mobile Internet Users Exceed Desktop Users
Mobile Internet Users Growing Rapidly
The graph below clearly shows that mobile internet users in India have overtaken desktop internet users. They have moved from desktop and laptop computers to mobile devices in a big way. A recent study published in Nov 2012 by KPCB partner Mary Meeker and Stats Counter Global Stats contained the detailed study information.
Although this hasn’t occurred everywhere yet, it is clear that the trend for mobile internet users will continue to grow in other countries. Industry forecasts have been made that the US will reach this point in 2013.
The implications for every website owner are clear – you need both a desktop and a mobile website. If mobile internet users come to your site and see a page made for a 19″ screen on their 3″ mobile phone screen, they will probably leave and not come back.
We can help you capture mobile internet users by creating a mobile site for you. It can be either a simple landing page or a more elaborate site, depending on your needs.

Go Mobile Now!
Computer sales have been decreasing for the last 4 quarters, while sales of mobile devices (smart phones, tablets, ipads, etc.) have been skyrocketing. Know what that means? It means that many more people are going to be looking for mobile friendly websites.
You need to get one now, before it’s too late!
Your website can be viewed on a smartphone, but that doesn’t make it mobile-friendly. I come across lots of web pages that fit on my 3 inch phone screen, but I would have to zoom in with my fingers to see the data. If I can’t click on your phone number to dial it, or easily see a map to visit your office, I’m just not going to call you. Unless you are the only source for what I need, I’ll go to someone easier to contact. How many potential customers like me are you losing this week?

Over 40% of Email Was Read on Mobile Devices!
Did you know how much email was read on mobile devices?
During the last six months of 2012, 41% of all email was read on mobile devices, which equates to hundreds of billions of emails. The information came from a report published by Knotice, of Akron OH.
This means that people are opening the messages on the go, which is sooner than if they only read them at their desk, but it also could result in negative effects for the sender. If your email has a link to your website but your site is not mobile ready, they are likely to be annoyed and get a negative impression of your brand.
According to Google, companies without a good mobile site drive 61% of mobile traffic to their competitors.
Can you afford to lose that many people trying to get your information on their mobile device?
Make sure that every ad you run and every email you send will take viewers to a good web experience regardless of what device they are using. A smart site is programmed to recognize the device before it sees the page, and to send the best display for that device. With billions of mobile users in the world, you can’t afford not to have one!
