Key takeaways for optimising your mobile site
The way people shop online is constantly changing, and retailers need to stay up to date with their consumers, and listen to what it is they are asking for. When designing a mobile site, think more about how visitors are interacting with your online store; what they are using it for (i.e. checking opening hours, making purchases).
By listening to the needs of your customers and reducing the obstacles for the sake of speed and accuracy, you will open the door to easier transactions. This in turn will improve reputation and build lasting relationships. A loyal customer will be your biggest advocate if you get the shopping experience right.
Remember, unhappy customers tell the world. Happy customers keep coming back. Let’s make more happy customers!
