8. A mobile strategy is no longer a “nice-to-have”.
While desktops and laptops are the most common
device used for searching the Internet, the shift to
mobile, is quickly closing that gap.

The Future of Mobile
This shows the
popularity of smartphone
ownership and emerging
mobile devices like
Smartwatches.
80% OF INTERNET USERS OWNS A SMARTPHONE

12. Environmental Factors
@mobomoapps
Pipe Devices Solution
3G Speeds. It’s
your lowest
connection
speed
Uncontrollable
and consistently
evolving screen
sizes
Think Consumable
Content First.

13. Responsive First
Because of these combined things:
Have an API First Mentality where you are
crafting consumable API content that any
platform or device can display.
This is out of your control, so you need to craft
content that can go anywhere.
Responsive First (not just mobile) because of the
Internet of Things (IoT)

Strategy: What are your
bussiness goals?

15. Most smartphone
users download
zero apps per month
Apps represent
50%+ of time spent
on digital media
Poor discovery features
On store cost per user/
download: $2.80-$3.00
Majority of time is on the
user’s single most used
app (Facebook, etc)
Understanding Mobile:
The Uncomfortable Truth
@mobomoapps

16. Mobile Website vs Mobile App
Mobile Website = Reach
You’re doing this to hit the largest audience
@mobomoapps

17. Content sharing nowadays shouldn’t require an
app, fastest path is mobile website.
Your website has to be responsive now to rank
higher on Google.
Cost of doing business, no longer optional.
Mobile Website Vs Mobile App
@mobomoapps

18. Mobile Website vs Mobile App
Mobile App = Rich Experience
You know your audience (user & device) and the goal
of the app is a stand alone product or augment
existing services.
@mobomoapps

19. You need to invest in marketing and pushing the
download to succeed.
Users have decisions to make and your app is
easier to lose:
Storage and battery usage.
“Storage full” is a reality for many people, the
heyday of “all the apps” isn’t feasible anymore.
Mobile Website Vs Mobile App
