clickable when reduced
to half its size on a
mobile device.

and proportion

adapts to the proportions
of the device it is
rendered on by using
CSS3 @media queries.

The advantage to our Passbook and Google Wallet integration is that we have location that has a Lat/Long so getting customer to add coupons to these wallets allows for customers to be notified when they are close to the location that they have an offer in their wallet.
Push fatigue is starting to set inThere are ways to engage customers with specific url’s, entice your customers to download and open your app or your third party app. Marketers that have invested in mobile apps need to not trust that consumers will 1)turn on notifications or 2)leave them on if the notifications strategy is to heavy.Email can be used to soften the message and engage customers.

Just remember mobile is viewed as the other screen but it is still
The problem is that because we are being indicated with so much content our attention spans have grown shorter we are multi tasking on multiple screens. It presents a problem to marketers not only where customers are reading their content but also for how long.
