The amount of time and money people are spending on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has been steadily on the rise over the last few years, and yet, according to Adobe, there are still 45% of businesses that don’t have a mobile website that is optimized for all devices.

Remember This…

Mobile Sites Lead to Purchases

Although this may seem like a given, a Google survey confirmed that shoppers are more likely to buy a product or service from a mobile-optimized site.  In addition, 78% of smartphone owners and 75% of tablet owners consider the “look and feel” of a company’s mobile website when considering whether or not to make a purchase from it.

Non-Optimized Sites Drive Customers Away

A large majority of survey participants said that they are looking for responsive website design.  Instead of switching to a PC to find what they want from your site, they will instead find a competitor that is mobile friendly. (Google)  According to Compuware, 1 in 3 respondents said that a poor mobile application experience would drive them to a competitor.

Bad Mobile Experiences Can Damage Your Company Brand

A bad mobile experience can cause frustration and annoyance with your customers.  Not having a mobile friendly website design can make your customer feel as though you do not care about your business.  Although more than 75% of smartphone and tablet owners say they often return to websites that are visually appealing and function well on their devices, 44% say they would never go back to the site, and 52% would not return often if the website is not responsive and does not perform well on their device.
