Mobile Websites Increase Leads
If half of the U.S. population is involved in something, it’s safe to say it’s more than a trend. The latest statistics tell us that half of all Americans will be using smart phones by the end of 2011. Half of those smart phone owners have purchased from their smart phones in the last six months. What that means for business owners is that you are missing leads and sales if you don’t have a mobile website.
If you are not a smart phone user, and are not sure what a mobile website looks like, take a look at the image below. This is an example of a mobile phone website.
The main difference is that it a mobile website is smaller and simplified so that the user doesn't have to scroll around looking at tiny type to find the information they are looking for. The one-click call and email buttons also result in a better contact rate.
