Mobile is now a business strategy for small businesses

Small to medium sized businesses that want to scale in the next 12 to 24 months are making mobile a key part of their business strategy, that’s according to the 2017 SMB Insights Survey just published by The Business Journals in the US. Over 65% of the 1300 SMEs employing between 5 and 499 employees are already driving their businesses through their websites, and 72% of those have designed their websites to be mobile ready to take advantage of the cloud. 84% of all those SMEs surveyed believe that cloud computing and cloud based service offerings are the way forward for their businesses, particularly as they are beginning to source their sales revenues from further afield, moving from local sourcing to national or international sales markets. Making mobile a key future driver of business means that looking to these new market sources becomes much more of a reality. So if scaling your business is on the agenda in the next two years, take a look at your business growth strategy and make sure mobile is the key word underpinning your thought process.
