It goes without saying that the smaller screen size on mobile devices affects the user experience that marketers can create. And more so than on desktop or even tablet, screen size is at a premium on the smartphone.
But the fact that youâre working on a constrained canvas also presents a major advantage: 100% of the consumerâs attention is focused on that small piece of real estate, and not in a passive way. A smaller screen means the user has to consistently scroll and engage with the device to reveal new content.
