The Mobile AdvantageDeveloping an effective mobile marketing strategy is imperative for success in today’s digital economy. To quote a report from Forrester Research, “A great digital experience is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a make-or-break point for your business as we more fully enter the digital age.” And these days, digital means mobile. There are more smartphones sold today than desktop computers, laptops, and tablets combined.
Consumers use their phones to text, call, search, buy, work, and play, offering multiple channels for savvy businesses to put themselves in the consumer’s line of sight, gain attention, and win new business. AdsLocal takes advantage of this multi-dimensional approach to put your business right in your customer’s hands.
