Debugit Pest Control currently has a website using the Joomla program. With some menu, section changes and custom template that is using HTML5 and clean CSS it should be ready for any Mobile devices.
Imagine your customer see his home decaying not because of the weather, but because he has termites. A picture is worth a thousand words. Including photos of insects, pest, the environment and damages can give a customer a quick comparison glance. You become like WebMD.
http://www.digitalbuzzblog.com/2011-mobile-statistics-stats-facts-marketing-infographic/ Reports some mobile device stats. People are spending more time their mobile phones than ever. By 2014, Mobile internet should take over desktop internet usage. One half of all local searches are performed on mobile devices. With mobile tags providing more product information like comparison shopping than traditional barcodes.
Let ’ s face it your customer are mobile. Your website business investment should target the mobile market as well. But 79% of of large online advertisers still do not have a mobile optimzed web site. In short, Mobile Device, mobile marketing, mobile apps are not going away. My advice is get in while it is still hot!
With social mediums talking about products and services it just makes sense to build, market and grow with Mobile Devices.
Including QR-codes on flyers, business cards and website will allow mobile users to reach you more easier. This code can take the user to the instant application install, the web url, phone number, sms or promotional text. The choice and campaign will fit what is best for your market.
Importantly if your website looks like this, trust it will look worse when some one wishes to pull your website up on a mobile device. Having your content sized correctly and with the right information will give you a professional appeal.
Let ’ s look at what a mobile application can provide for your customers. It can provide a library of information to the homeowner as well as the technician. It will provide facts and frequently ask questions. With customer being able to upload their pictures with questions, you get them involved. It also builds your wiki library. Providing solutions for customers will be right at their finger tips.
