There are almost as many mobile phones registered (in use) as their are prospective users. The Global Futurist Blog predicts that by the first quarter if 2015, for each user, there will be approximately 1.5 mobile devices.

--------------- What actionable items should you have on your whiteboard?
1) Have excellent reliable texting services, for alerts and for two-way communications;
2) Get used to using a QR code for your business, and integrate it into your advertising specialties. Make it a decoration;
3) Allow prospects an option to subscribe, order and pay via their mobile devices;
4) Use email to drive traffic to your mobile campaign (give QR Codes and mobile Short Codes);
5) Insert very brief links to personalized, impact-filled, mini voice mails from your organization into some of your messaging.
Now please -- go out and take the necessary action. Also be certain that your websites and blogs are mobile-friendly in terms of formatting flexibility, if they were not originally designed in anticipation of the mobile device revolution.
