The world is clearly getting attached to handsets more and more with different ways of staying connected to them. The trend of making Smartphone users the targeted audience is increasing drastically over the years and hence almost all Social Media Marketing companies are enabling the mobile version of their websites to make it mobile and user-friendly to the maximum.
