Wondering whether your business should have a presence on social media and a mobile-enabled web site? If you operate in Utah or much of the West, you can’t afford not to!
Just check out this new Census Bureau report, which names Utah as the No. 1 state for Internet access. According to the bureau, only 7.5 percent of Utah residents age 3 and older did not have the Internet available to them in their households in 2011. That’s significantly lower than the national average of nearly 16 percent. In fact, much of the West is more ‘connected’ than the nation as a whole.
Also, in much of the west, many people take the idea of Internet connectivity to a whole new level. These “highly connected” folks access the Internet from multiple devices, including home computers, laptops, smart phones and tablets.
Many Western states also have a high percentage of people who shop on tablets and smart phones, clip mobile coupons and utilize mobile payments!
