Since 2009, consumer use of all other media, including TV, radio, print, and even online, has declined while use of mobile technology has increased more than five-fold (and is now second only to TV in terms of overall media use!)

And in May 2015, Google announced that – for the first time – smart phones are now being used for searches more than desktops and tablets combined.

Mobile technology is here to stay… and it is essential for EVERY business to have a comprehensive mobile marketing strategy!
