14. How Mobile Responsive Sites Work
A mobile ready website is able to serve content in a
mobile optimized format. Generally, text on a mobile
optimized site will be easy to read, the navigation
(menu) is easy to use, and media content adjusts to
the size of the screen in some cases. For a quick
visual guide, revisit the comparison that I made
above this paragraph.

15. { }2Responsive vs. Non-Responsive
What’s the difference?

16. Mobile Responsive vs. Non-Responsive
Not Mobile Friendly: Difficult to
read & navigate. Users have to
pinch screen to zoom in. Overall,
not user friendly on mobile
devices.
Mobile Responsive:
• Clear calls to action
• Easy to navigate/read
• Important info easy to find
(phone number, party
booking)

17. Mobile Responsive vs. Non-Responsive
Not Mobile Friendly
Requires too much
pinch and zoom
Not easy to use
More customers will
give up on booking
Mobile Friendly
Scales to any size
screen
Easy to use
More customers will
finish booking

18. Prioritizing the user experience for
your customer helps prevent them
from ditching your site and returning
to Google search to find a more user
friendly site (AKA your competitor.)

How to market for mobile web

21. Online Research
• Studies show that 70-80% of consumers research
online before doing business with that company
• If your potential customers cannot find you online,
then you will lose business and revenue
• Mobile responsive sites have a big impact on
search results

22. Online Research
• If you offer Online Booking for parties, you are
more likely to be able to capture revenue from
consumers during the research process
– Convenience of booking from home
• Same goes for Online Storefront - passes, gift
cards, merchandise, etc.

24. Marketing Your Business For Mobile Web
• Local search engine optimization (SEO) – Make
sure that your website is properly optimized for relevant
keywords that match what your customers are searching for
on Google and Bing. Ie. “Birthday Parties in Lynchburg, VA”
• Claim and optimize local listings – Take control of
your local listings (aka Yellow Pages of the Internet like
Google Local, Yelp, Citysearch) by ensuring that the
information is 100% correct and filled out.

Implementing a content marketing strategy will help improve
