The turn of the calendar is always a good time to reflect on business strategy, growth and even new business opportunities.<\/p>\n

I have definitely seen many trends develop and start taking shape in the small-business sphere in 2012 that will have impact on how you market your business in 2013. \u00a0 I anticipate that 2013 will bring mass adoption to some of these. For example, mobile usage is definitely going to continue to climb; and that\u2019s not necessarily wholly to do with smartphones; it is the tablet that is contributing to this trend.\u00a0 As a result, mobile-responsive websites are becoming the cornerstone to redesigning websites.\u00a0 What good is your website if people can\u2019t read it on their tablet or smartphone?<\/p>\n

A mobile-responsive website is an effective and inexpensive approach for small-businesses.\u00a0 If you are redesigning your website or creating a new one \u2013 it is imperative your web-marketer builds you a mobile-responsive website that is driven by solid marketing principles.<\/p>\n

Inc.<\/strong><\/em> Magazine has a great article on the trends for 2013: “How & Where to Make Money in 2013 (and beyond)”\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n
