Pause......Would you still need that next week?

So a friend called me this morning that he just lost his wife. I was short of words, didn't know what to say to him, how to counsel him. My friend's wife had a kidney problem and have undergone dialysis. My guy has spent all the money he saved up over the years, including selling his properties just to raise the N10,000,000 that was needed for a kidney transplant in Indian.

The last time, I saw the wife, she was smiling, though in pains, the husband told me she was looking better 2 days ago when I asked over chat. The money needed for transplant was not complete and they still spend on hospital bills. I could only imagine what the young couple was going through and this morning when he called to informed me of her passing, I was deeply sad.

Life!, they say is a journey...but seriously, how many of us really thought of what might happen the next minute. Lagos has a way of keeping one busy that you forget to celebrate with friends and love one. We spend most of our time pursuing shadows, some of us spend 60%, 20%, 15% of our time in the office, at home, in church respectively on "activities" while only 5% of our time is spent on creating beautiful memories.

Guess, I have to find a way to keep myself sane, healthy, create memories with loved ones, and still pursue making money. I am hitting the "pause button" this weekend. 

Sigh!!!

7 Reasons Why You Need A Mobile Compatible Website

1. Greater Exposure – Many people no longer use desktop or laptop PCs and Macs to access websites and online content. Without a mobile compatible website you will not be able to access that growing audience.

2. Greater Accessibility – A mobile website allows your customers to access your website wherever they are. The immediacy of being able to find your online store when they first spot the email address will lead to high conversion and sales rates.

3. Simplified structure – The simplified structure of the mobile website may help you to fine tune and streamline your internet content.

4. SMS marketing – A mobile compatible website allows you to utilise the website address for SMS marketing campaigns.

5.Email marketing – With most people accessing emails on their smartphones a mobile compatible website can increase the effectiveness of your email marketing.

6. Application Marketing – Phone apps also contain advertising and marketing opportunities that will be lost on your business if your website cannot be easily accessed on a smartphone.

7. Outdoor advertising – When your customers are out and about and they see your web address on a sign or even at your shop front they are more likely to be able to access your information quickly if your website is easy to access from all commonly used mobile devices. Your website may even impress them enough to prompt them to conduct business with you right there and then!
