25% of the world’s population to have smartphones by 2015
minti • 19 July 2014
With the penetration of mobile smartphones increasing at an ever expanding rate, a recent study by eMarketer has found that approximately 25% of the world’s population will have a smartphone by the end of 2014. Let us think about this for a moment, by the turn of the year, one in four people globally will have a smartphone device and will use it frequently for their daily tasks.
Although this is a significant jump from last year, further research suggests that by the end of 2017, over one third of people will be using smartphones around the globe. However, one note of caution to these numbers is that there is no distinction between the level of adoption and usage of individual countries.
With all the data and research pointing to the expansion of the mobile industry, how does this relate to businesses and where do you fit into this exciting industry?
– Businesses need to go mobile – with mobile usage increasing at a phenomenal rate, every business trading today needs a mobile footprint in place. A mobile website is a great way to acquire new customers who have searched for a business and landed on their website. By offering a mobile optimised website, a business can keep customers on their website for longer, thus maximising the opportunity to acquire a new customer.
The mobile app on the other hand is primarily focused on customer retention as it offers the opportunity for customers to interact with a business. From shopping carts to loyalty initiatives, businesses can offer feature rich mobile apps that entice their existing customer base to interact with the business all year round.
– Your role – as the above information has demonstrated, the mobile market shows no signs of receding with businesses having a need to cater for this significant change in the technological landscape. By entering this market space, you can make a real impact in your business community by helping businesses to connect with their customers on their preferred medium, namely mobile.
Unlike many opportunities in the business world, entering the mobile landscape opens up various industries that you can target. Whether it is popular restaurant in the centre of town or an upmarket legal firm, you have the tools and resources to help businesses leverage mobile technology.

For modern entrepreneurs, building a sustainable business model is no longer just about chasing the next big sale. The future belongs to recurring revenue — a model that allows you to earn predictable, ongoing income month after month. And for those looking to build freedom, flexibility, and financial stability, it’s a game-changer.
For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
