Mobile web traffic continues to increase and in some cases is surpassing that of desktops. And from 2013 to 2014, mobile app usage saw an astounding 52% increase compared to just a 1% increase with desktops. With facts like these, it’s apparent that businesses can no longer afford to ignore their mobile experience.
Whether your audience is spending just a few minutes checking on the status of an order or watching streaming media for hours on their mobile device, it all plays a part in the overall customer experience journey they have with your business.
