Dip Your Toe in the Mobile Waters by Developing a Mobile-Optimized Website:
Our State of Mobile Communications research showed that one-half of U.S. adults will have a smartphone by 2011. Businesses that are not interacting with stakeholders via mobile are missing a huge opportunity to connect.
Do More Than Push Out Your Same, Tired Content:
Mobile includes voice, images and video – not just words. Deliver location-based content and enable transactions that are unique to mobile. Take advantage of the fact that you can reach stakeholders anytime and anywhere.
If You ’ve Got It, Flaunt It:
Once you have a mobile presence, let everyone know. Advertise it on your homepage and tell stakeholders via email. Anywhere you mention your social media presence, make sure your mobile offerings are mentioned also.
