If you still haven’t converted your site to responsive design, or don’t know what I’m even talking about, then you will LOSE customers!

I mean really far down.
Customers are used to smooth running, easy to navigate, mobile sites like Amazon, Target or Zappos.com. It’s what your customers want – and they expect you to provide a good mobile experience. With Wordpress responsive design templates there are no excuses for you to update your site.
