Are you willing to let the rapidly expanding mobile market continue to grow and do nothing about it?... when you can be using it to your advantage!?
Ever since the mobile market was introduced it has continued to increase rapidly. In the UK today there are around 75,750,000 mobile phones in use compared to a population of about 61,612,300, that works out at just over 1.2 phones per person! No wonder many businesses today, small or large, have seen it as a necessity to have apps and websites compatible for mobile phones. We see people using their phones all the time, whether they are having a conversation, texting, using apps or surfing the web.
People spend on average just under 3 hours daily on their phones. One market researcher writes '80% of their consumption (or 2 hours and 7 minutes daily) is spent inside apps, while the remaining 20% (31 minutes) is devoted to the mobile web.' That's more than long enough for them to spot a new website of their interest. This also shows not only that websites are beneficial but apps are too. According to Kleiner Perkins and Byers partner Mary Meeker, 46 million apps are downloaded every day. Anyone of those 46 million apps downloaded a day could be yours as long as you choose the right designer for it. Now if that isn't enough evidence to show you that the mobile market is increasing rapidly I don't what is.
It could be said that if your business is not findable on as many devices as possible you are missing out on a large share of the market. Would you really want to miss out on an ever expanding market like this? Most people tend to use their tablets and mobile phones more than their desktops, you may be thinking 'Will I have to pay for more websites for all these devices?', no you won't. Our web designers offer websites which are compatible with any sort of mobile device so you don't have to make a number of different websites for your customers to look at. It is a simple and easy solution for you if you need a website that keeps everybody happy.
The latest news on the mobile market is that businesses are using social media to promote themselves. This is a effective since social media is being used so heavily by people today, but on the other hand this may be costly at times. Also mobile payment technology is evolving and so more and more people are beginning to use it as an alternate payment method. This can be incorporated into the website giving customers new and fast ways of paying for items.
