Many of them use their mobile phones to find information on prices as well, even if they plan to make the actual purchase offline at your store. The challenge for area small businesses is to make sure that their online marketing efforts are “mobile friendly”.

Come join us for this two-hour course and discover the different means of connecting with a prospect through a smart phone, learn how to integrate mobile marketing into your current web site, and develop a mobile marketing strategy and executive plan.
