Obstacles to Engagement

In a recent issue of ExecDigital, Tarpley McColl, UR Mobile’s CEO, shared 3 things to leave out of a mobile website in order to allow end-users to engage easily with mobile web apps.

They should, however, make the engagement experience as friction-free as possible. This means optimizing the space where their mobile web apps reside: their mobile websites.”

Interview: Tarpley McColl, CEO at UR Mobile

UR Mobile’s CEO, Tarpley McColl was recently interviewed by mo.com. Here is an excerpt:

“A primary strategy companies have adopted for customer acquisition and retention has been to asynchronously push marketing messages to them through the most relevant marketing channels.
