The importance of mobile marketing
If you walk away with nothing else from this post, you should walk away with this: The phenomenon is here - The rise of mobile marketing – it’s happening & fast.
The growth of mobile marketing is moving 8x faster than the growth of the internet itself. That’s fact is backed up by the famed Eric Schmidt, Google’s executive chairman – so it’s one to take note of!
Thus – mobile marketing is becoming a serious business tool.
It’s also interesting to know that there are less ‘time-wasters’ using mobile/tablet devices than PC users.

In summary, mobile marketing is here and it’s growing.
