Did you know that more people are buying smart phones than personal computers right now in the U.S.? What this means is that your business needs to be ready to promote via mobile devices.
And if your promotion includes Facebook, there are ways to make your Facebook marketing better targeted for mobile consumers. There are 500+ million people who use Facebook's mobile application and that number is growing fast. This class will be an OVERVIEW (not a detailed how-to class) of the mobile market, Facebook on mobile, and how to optimize your Facebook page for mobile.
