22.  Mobile Visit up to 20%
 Conversion and Transactions still lower than desktop devices but
sufficient to make an impact
 Apple Devices are still the top priority
 Keep customer engaged via email is important for mobile
 Search behaviour is similar desktop to smart phone
 Top 5 positions are more lenient on Mobiles
 Use Creative mobile targeting
