Users Are Cutting E-Commerce Companies Major Slack On Mobile Experiences

1. USERS ARE CUTTING E-COMMERCE COMPANIES MAJOR SLACK ON MOBILE EXPERIENCES

2. A site’s performance on mobile is really important, but industry consistency isn’t there. Customer experience is frustrating at best. You get the impulse to do research on a product and you want to complete a purchase on your phone. Along with many other potential customers, your efforts are often thwarted by endless white screen time, poor navigation, a mixture of slow and fast load times when you click through a site, and if you make it there, trouble with your transaction. You probably end up refreshing the page, waiting, and often giving up at some point during the process, only to file the impulse in the back of your mind for the next time that you are in front of your laptop. Busy lives often lead to forgetting to go back to that site and finish up or losing your impulse to buy almost entirely. BUT, ALL’S NOT LOST FOR AN E-COMMERCE COMPANY Consumers will cut you a little slack when it comes to mobile experience. When Instart Logic conducted a survey of 2000 consumers, only 27% said that they would lose confidence in a brand if their mobile site was slow to load or didn’t function properly. One very possible explanation for the reason people are so forgiving of brands on mobile is because they direct their blame on their phone/network/wificonnection instead of the brand. That means that though sites are losing out on transactions, they’re not losing them forever. Here are the facts that back up this claim: 35% of people said they’d come back after a few minutes to the site/app after it failed to load, and an additional 27% said they’d just keep refreshing until something showed up.

HERE ARE THE TOP 4 PERFORMANCE ISSUES THAT ARE HOLDING BACK CUSTOMER SPEND ON MOBILE: Internet speed: 55% said that this is what stopped them from spending (more) Navigation: 58% said that in general, most sites are too complicated to navigate on their phone and transactions are not easy to make Security: 76% of people are concerned about companies storing their credit card information UI: 57% said that their screens are too small Well, you can’t do anything about the internet speed, but you can optimize your site to offset that issue.
