Many people are afraid that their current staff and even themselves are not up to speed on the technology required to manage mobile marketing campaigns.\u00a0Others might believe that their current marketing methods could use some improvement, but they are unsure of where to begin.\u00a0One strategy that is proven to work for any business, large or small, is mobile marketing.\u00a0It\u2019s a relatively recent marketing development and is quick, easy, and extremely cost-efficient.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It starts with a mobile or responsive website.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mobile-friendly websites are designed to display properly in any smartphone, regardless of the make, model, or screen size.\u00a0They also automatically adapt as the customer transitions from smartphone to laptop or tablet.\u00a0This is an important consideration, as for some purchases, the journey may begin on the smartphone and be completed on a tablet or PC.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps even more importantly, Google and other search engines give higher rankings to businesses with websites that are what is called &#8216;mobile friendly.&#8217; If your website is not mobile-friendly, then you are losing new customers each and every day. If in doubt, simply submit your website url to any one of dozens of online tools that will measure your site&#8217;s performance.

The excellent research from Google on the Zero Moment of Truth or ZMOT, showed how important a responsive website is as potential customers move from device to device gathering information before making their purchase decision.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let fear of success hold you back from entering the world of mobile marketing.\u00a0The future is now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has heard of the fear of failure, but the fear of success is what prevents many small business owners&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":11194,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66,65],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11193","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-advice","8":"category-small-business"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
