With that extra money they can have more robust and appealing advertisement campaign, giving them a strong foothold in the market. New updates from Google in the campaigns and device management is still new to the users, on the contrary, Bing offers more flexibility and more customized experience.
Mobile Revolution

Still, the advertisers are skeptical about spending more money behind mobile marketing, but it is high time they start doing it now, as people surf the internet while on the go. To have the campings perform at its full potential, it is very important to cover all the aspects. Mobile and tablets are one of the most important ones.
