The explosion of mobile over the last few years has been staggering. By next year, the twenty billionth mobile phone will be sold.
And not only are there many more mobile devices, we’re all becoming more reliant on them. In fact, 9 out of 10 consumers in the U.S. keep their phones within reach 24/7.
This has significant ramifications for retailers, particularly for online commerce, where mobile commerce already accounts for 30% of U.S. e-commerce and is expected to grow 300% faster than traditional e-commerce.
Mobile Web will outpace Mobile Apps, people don’t want to download a company specific app.Mobile commerce transactions are expected to top $115 billion in 2015 and climb to $142 billion next year, according to a new report from Forrester Research.
As we can see here, mobile browsing has been having significant growth v. dedicate mobile apps over the last couple of years. This means more people rather go to target.com or zappos.com instead of downloading the standalone mobile app.
Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
I selected a couple of examples of mobile commerce stores to highlight some of the features I’ve mentioned. ebay does a great job of featuring a straight forward and simple search bar. Target in this other case is focusing on offers and promotions, right as you land on their mobile commerce site you can see them feature 4 promos.
In this example we see this product from battery mart .com where it’s gathered quite a bit of social proof, they've received 175 reviews and has a rating of 4.6 out of 5. Knowing that others are buying the product you are and had a good experience is extremely reassuring. They also have a clear call to action to leave a review.
In this other example to the left, walmart.com does a great job in presenting valuable information on the first load of the product page: search, promo, product title, reviews, price, promo price, quantity adjust, registry, wish list and add to cart. BTO sports in this case summarizes their basket with all important information, prod description, subtotal and other charges, regular checkout and paypal.
This is a great new feature for this year that is becoming increasingly popular. Macy’s.com does a fantastic job of highlighting and guiding their customers thru the new features of their store.
Another feature that has been picking up steam is the full-width menu drop down from the top off the page. Here we have a couple of examples of mobile ecommerce sites that use this feature.
Another Mobile Design trend is to have quick access to the shopping card without needing to leave the current page/product/category you’re looking at. In this example, Clothing brand UNIQLO has a side-loading shopping cart.
Easy checkout options are becoming a huge trend, PayPal Express and Amazon checkout are making for quick and easy mobile shopping experience.
