Mobile Phone eCommerce
Introduction to Mobile Phone eCommerce
The mobile phone is always by our side these days, and they continue to get more powerful. eCommerce is what allows your clients to purchase your goods and services electronically. Modern mobile phones can do much more than simple voice calls, and if you tap into this you could save thousands of pounds in labour and greatly increase your sales. Now a person with a Mobile Phone can purchase your goods or services without making a voice call, being at their desktop computer, or coming to see your store.
