You will be able to reach a wider audience if your site is mobile-optimized
Having a responsive site means you are better able to serve up the information your users need—and faster. The better your site’s mobile design and the easier your content is to access, the more likely it is that users will return to it. That’s a win-win for everyone.

Responsive design makes your business look relevant and user-friendly
Mobile-responsiveness is about more than just usability. If you’re not investing in your web presence, a user can easily assume that you’re also not invested in your business, which means your credibility is likely to take a nose-dive. Nobody wants to waste their time trying to navigate a mobile-hostile site, so don’t force them to struggle through yours—ensure that your site is easy to browse, intuitive to navigate, and pleasing to interact with.
