Today’s mobile-connected devices allow users to browse where desktop computers can’t go, and this increases the amount of online connectivity for many consumers and increases sales, and brand awareness for many companies. Reaching customers 24/7, no matter where they are, or what they are doing, is changing the way marketers advertise, and reach consumers online.
