It’s well known today that consumers are crazy about their mobile phones. There is not a moment when you’re out and about doing your daily tasks that you see someone glued to their mobile device. In fact, people are on their mobile phones now more than ever before. Did you know that about half of the entire local internet searches performed daily are done on a mobile device. And these searches are for LOCAL products and services like yours! This means that people are on their mobile phones even more than they are on their computers! What this basically means is that your prospective customers are searching for your business on their mobile phone. Do you have a mobile website for your business?
Recent studies have shown that most users don't have a good mobile web-user experience simply because businesses do not have mobile-friendly websites. This is an unfortunate reality.
When most websites were created, they were done so with the purpose of being viewed on a desktop computer, not a mobile device. However, with the popularity of mobile phones today, local businesses need to ensure that their prospective clients and customers can find them easily without any hassles. If someone is looking for a real estate agent in your home town and they land on your site, but they have to scroll endlessly to find your contact information, not to mention how long your website takes to load on their mobile device, they’ll get frustrated and will leave your website and go find your competitions site (which is mobile). Do you see how powerful and how important having a mobile website for your real estate business can be? It could mean thousands of dollars in lost sales simply because you failed to provide a mobile-friendly website for your visitors.
So, have you looked at your business website from your mobile phone? Does your website load quickly without having to scroll up and down pages to find information? Can you easily find your address, phone number and contact details. Can you easily click one button on your mobile phone to call your business? If you said no to any of these things, you’re losing out big time! You don’t want to lose visitors who could ultimately be your client or customer.
Most mobile phone user’s keep their phone within arm’s reach ninety percent of the time. Not only this, but the global technology research company Gartner has predicted that by 2014 mobile phone usage is expected to exceed desktop computer usage and people will be accessing the Internet more on their phones than on their PCs!
Over 20% of Internet searches are done on mobile phones. This means that if you’re business is not yet mobile, you could ultimately be losing out on 20% of new customers to your business! And that number is continuing to grow daily!
Pull out your mobile phone right this minute and visit your website. Can you see what it looks like? This is exactly what your potential customers are seeing when they view your website on their mobile device. Now ask yourself, when you viewed your website, was the experience a good one? Could you easily navigate your site on your mobile phone to see your contact details etc.? If not, you're potentially missing out on 20% of extra revenue from customers who are eagerly WILLING to pay you, but they just can’t easily find you on their mobile.
We live in a very busy era where people are strapped for time and want instantaneous contact. This is very serious for a realtor such as yourself. But you could use this to your advantage by providing your prospects with an easy way to find you – with a mobile friendly real estate website.
Remember, if you don’t currently have one, there is a way to fix this so that you too can capitalize on the enormous mobile-user market that is looking for you right now.
