Since mobile users have a small screen to work with, your content should be concise and to the point. This will encourage them to spend more time on your site or page as the information will be easy to grasp and in turn make a purchase. More so, concise content is easy to create and share. As you share it more often, you will reach more people and thus, enjoy a significant presence online. The trick with writing such a content is to share what you want to sell minus the words you generally use to increase the content. With phone, it is a small drawback that if the content is dragging too much, people will skip through the page, and you don't want that for your product. Make brevity your new policy.
