It's About The Tablet
Those of us from Scotland will now be thinking of a tasty sugary treat - but you - my dear reader should be thinking of a thin piece of electronics.
It's that time of year again when Mary Meeker produces her "Internet Trends" report. If you have some time you should read it - it's a fascinating insight into how people are going to find your business - if you don't have time - here's one of the big takeaways:
Your parents are getting connected!
I can speak from experience when I say my potential luddite of a father in his mid seventies would now need the iPad surgically removed from his hand - but let's steer clear of anecdotal evidence and look at this slide:
- Mobile is storming ahead but phones still kinda suck for browsing the internet
- Growth is coming from people sitting in their armchair at home and looking at the tablet in their hand.
- These people are discovering the internet in the same way that we did back in the day with our work computer.
- Tablets will become as ubiquitous as a TV, and fast!
What does this mean for you and your business?
Well - most of all - it means your website has to look good on mobile and in particular on a tablet. It also means that your business is becoming more visible to the grey dollar, which opens doors into mobile advertising and product positioning.
Interesting huh?!
