In addition, the study sheds light on both the value and rewards retailers can reap by delivering a personalized, relevant and intuitive customer experience on mobile devices.
The major findings include:
The Maxymiser study found that 65 percent of respondents most value an easy-to-use experience and the fast loading of pages and images when visiting a retailer-s mobile site.
39 percent of respondents stated they would leave and visit a competitor-s mobile site, and never return, as a result of a “poor” user experience. On top of that, 23 percent would return less often following a poor experience.
There is no longer a clear delineation between in-store and mobile retail shopping, as mobile savvy consumers multi-task throughout the day. According to the Maxymiser study, 58 percent of respondents use their smartphone or tablet on the way to a retail store or while shopping in-store.
“If there-s one thing we know, it-s the importance and value of testing and personalizing the customer experience across all devices,” said Paul Dunay, global vice president of marketing, Maxymiser. “This research points to a clear shift in consumers- mobile behavior as well as an urgency among retailers to move mobile optimization to the top of their digital marketing priorities in 2013. Every moment they delay can result in a huge windfall not only in customer engagement and loyalty, but also in revenue.”
The “Mobilizing the Retail Shopping Experience” Research Study provides retailers with a snapshot of the changing needs, behavior and preferences of mobile savvy American consumers. The study analyzed a random sample of 1,000 respondents in the United States. Each respondent defined themselves as being 18 years or older, owning at least one smartphone and tablet, as well as having an interest in retail shopping.
