B2B’s must think about their mobile presence and while leaping from unaware to mobile savvy may be more evolutionary than revolutionary, it must be done and as a starting point B2B’s should be thinking about the following 4 things:
Mobile Website: First and foremost does your mobile web experience create the right first impression? Consumers want mobile sites to load fast and provide large easy to read navigation so they can figure out where they want to go.
Articles and Content: B2B’s are now using more and more content to help buyers engage with their brand. From the blog to your downloadable whitepapers and infographics, mobile users are looking to be able to read and learn about your business on screens that may only be 3 or 4 inches in size (not everyone has adopted the iPhone 6+ or the Samsung Note). If the visitor finds your content quickly but it isn’t in a responsive format then chances are they won’t read it.
Social Friendly: In an online world where we don’t only consume content, but share the best and most insightful findings of our day on social media sites, does your mobile site make social sharing and engagement easy?
App-Centric: Perhaps the biggest trend that most B2B’s are unaware of is that most people on their mobile devices aren’t on the web browser but they are using applications (apps). For B2B’s this doesn’t necessarily mean that they need an app (although they may), but rather that they need to consider their mobile presence within apps (specifically social sites). For instance, a user on Facebook or LinkedIn may want to learn more about your business.
