The digital marketing company, Monetate, highlighted the importance in mobile eCommerce with this revealing infographic.  Google’s studies show that 79% of businesses don’t have mobile optimized websites. Monetate shows that almost 1 in every 10 eCommerce dollars is spent using a mobile device. So, what is your company going to do about it? The most used mobile marketing tactic right now is simply having a mobile version of your website.  According to the statistics, there has been a 103% increase in website traffic from smartphones in just one year.  It is likely that by next year your website could be selling more on mobile phones than it does from computers.  Do you need any more reason to consider becoming mobile-friendly for your customers?  Mobile is undoubtedly on a course to becoming a ubiquitous shopping tool.
