  The mobile market continues to explode – in fact, Target and Amazon report that a whopping 60 percent of November-December 2014 traffic to their websites came from mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Even more striking, mobile surpassed television as the top “attention medium” in 2014, meaning that people are spending more and more time with their mobile devices. It’s clear that any website that isn’t responsive – that is, built to look good on any size device — is missing a major part of its audience.

  But what’s becoming increasingly obvious is that mobile use is important in e-marketing, too. Data from 1.8 billion marketing emails sent in 2013 shows that 41% of all marketing email is first opened on a mobile device, compared to just 28% on a desktop and 22% in webmail. This represents an incredible 30% shift toward mobile from 2011 to 2013.
