Deep links are mobile links that work like hyperlinks.

This tactic is one of the best ways to boost engagement with mobile users.
2. Digital Assistants
Digital Assistants are currently being heralded by Forbes and many other marketing sources. As retail traffic is directly correlated to online engagement, tech companies have begun to invest heavily in this tactic.
