For several years, the big marketing push has been to “go mobile.” Though the concept of a smartphone was around long before it, the release of the iPhone in 2007 brought the technology mass adoption. Mobile phones quickly became another appendage – an ever-present device that is a computer, television and oh yeah, a telephone, all in one small package. Having a mobile-friendly small business is no longer a suggestion; it is a necessity in reaching consumers.

In 2014, mobile marketing will shift focus slightly based on consumers’ increasingly split attention when it comes to media use.
