<p>The psychology behind how we spend our money is a wondrous thing. I’ll gladly throw down $ 1 a day for a Diet Coke, but I’m reluctant to spend $ 1.50 on a box of pasta that would feed my whole family when I can get it for less than that on another day.

We live in a multi-device world, and if you're still focused on improving your visibility, traffic, and conversions solely for desktop users, you're losing a great opportunity.
