Manchester Mobile Marketing





Is Your Business Part Of The Manchester Mobile Marketing Revolution?

We are approaching the holiday season when retail sales hit there peak in the year. Again we will witness and substantial increase in purchases made online. The increased role that smartphones play in our daily lives and will be a major factor in your business sales in the future. Manchester businesses need to embrace Mobile Marketing and ensure it is a major part of their marketing strategy.

The old yellow pages has died as most people search online but now the shift is away from conventional computers to access the internet.  By the end of 2013 most people will be accessing the internet from their smartphones or tablets. 

Google recently carried out a survey and established the following:

  • By the end of 2012 there will be more smartphones and tablets than the human population.
  • 44% of their target audience own a smartphone.
  • The number of smartphone users will double over the next 4 years
  • Over 95% of smartphones uses have used their phone to search for local businesses.
But the downside is of concern!........ over 80% of business web sites are not compatible for mobile phones. Meaning anyone landing on a non optimised site will find loading time is excessive and when it does open you cannot read the site.

So why go to all the expense and time in promoting your business if visitors come to your web site and they cannot read it. But also what message does that convey, a company who does not value mobile phone users and is not keeping up with modern technology.

But there is now an easy solution you should give serious consideration to and that is using business apps.  In the past business apps were only affordable by the large companies because of the huge development costs and the time involved.  But that is now changed thanks to Global BizznessApps who provide their clients with a platform to build affordable business apps.
