Title: Embrace the Mobile Mind Shift
1EMBRACE THE MOBILE MIND SHIFT
2- Mobile Growth is Astonishing
- Never try to change peoples behavior. Always
meet your users and customers where they are --
no matter where they are doing business. More and
more, users and potential customers are on their
mobile devices. This year, we will see the 20
billionth mobile phone sold. Mobile devices have
made the Internet more accessible to new
populations and demographics. This rate of growth
is expected to continue. It is estimated that
mobile accounts for 30 of e-commerce in the US
today. - User Experience Performance Engagement
- In order to acquire new users and retain existing
users, businesses need to focus on providing the
best possible user experience. To me, a better
user experience means I can download content
faster, I can conduct transactions securely, and
I can do this all from my mobile device. This
good user experience will keep me coming back to
the mobile website or mobile application. - Performance in a mobile first world means two
things - Improving speeds on the last mile of a connection
(the hop from the wireless tower to your device) - Adapting content to be delivered across a variety
of screen sizes - Both these issues need to be solved effectively
in order to improve the user experience on a
mobile device.
3- Dont Bring a Knife to a Gunfight
- In order to be successful in the mobile
environment you have to pick the right tools
from finding solutions to help you optimize
content for delivery to delivering content users
expect. Because of less than optimal experience
-- caused by latency and limited content served
to smaller screens -- mobile devices have not
delivered on their promise to retailers that they
can be an engaging channel for consumers. It has
become a vicious circle mobile devices havent
delivered consequently, retailers arent
adequately focusing on the mobile customer
experience. - You need to answer the following questions as you
build your mobile app - Whats my strategy for taking advantage of this
growth in mobile traffic and devices? - Do I need to build a native mobile app or do I go
with a mobile browser experience? - Do I have an app delivery provider that can work
across mobile apps, mobile browsers and desktop
browsers? - To find out the answers to some of these
questions and more, join me and Forresters Vice
President and Principal Analyst Julie Ask. We
will - discuss how retailers can use the IDEA (identify,
design, engineer, analyze) cycle to transform
their customers experiences in a way that
creates an engaging mobile moment that addresses
this mind shift.
