Essential Web, Social, and Mobile Marketing Tips for 2019
Creating a successful online marketing campaign will require you to integrate social, mobile, and web strategies, as your consumer is constantly active on these platforms. Research suggests that users are regularly active on all these channels in both their personal and professional lives. For example, users regularly search for products/services near them, which comprises over 40% of all Google queries on mobile devices, and the mobile-first social media platform, Instagram, has nearly one billion active users. So, how do you traverse this complex terrain? Often, even the smartest marketers fall prey to using a one-dimensional strategy or technology, leading to over-focus and saturation. What’s worse is that the selected platform may not be where your targeted audience is currently most active.

These 17 Firefox tips make it easy to switch from ChromeThese 17 Firefox tips make it easy
Last December, I decided to give Firefox another chance.
The venerable web browser had received a visual overhaul and a new engine a year earlier, and had been getting even faster ever since. At the same time, it continued to take strong stances on privacy, offering simple tools to prevent Facebook and other sites from following you around the web. I also just liked the idea of using a product that’s not run by a tech giant. (Firefox is owned by the Mozilla Foundation, a nonprofit.)
