With the economy beginning to pick up and consumer spending on the rise, how well is your business equipped to capitalise on the economic recovery? Has your business formulated a mobile marketing strategy?

Here at Eazi-Apps, we believe in working with our clients to add real value to their business. With that in mind, let us focus on some key mobile statistics that are sure to impress you!

  • There are more mobile phones in the UK than people
  • The number of smartphone searchers doubles every two months
