Bridget Randolph discusses 5 ways that businesses are losing money by not having an effective mobile strategy. She outlines that businesses need a mobile-friendly website, should avoid technical SEO mistakes, simplify the checkout process, make permission-based marketing mobile-friendly, and track users across devices rather than individual devices.
