10. As Heidi points out on the article, email is certainly not dead. It is the number one way to engage our customers and keep them retained. I am curious. Are we opening up emails more on our smart phones or on our pc's. What are the latest trends for 2013 or 2014? Google it and tell me what you find. Based on what you find would it be in our best interest to make sure your emails render properly on smart phones.

11. Heidi also talks about the importance of having a mobile presence. I think we all understand that. We must note that apps (successful apps that is) for the smart phone are not a mere duplication of the website for that brand.

c. Do a Google search for the Ebay app for the iphone and what the video on what all it can do? What are the unique features that you can do only with the app?
