Ahh… mobile apps and devices. What would we do without them?
Cell phones, tablets, and light as air laptops have paved the way for all online customers to have the world at their fingertips.
Quite literally.
No longer tied to a stay-at-home desktop, today’s devices and mobile innovation has certainly made life easier…and more convenient.
But that convenience does come with some responsibility…from the seller’s point of view.
An excellent mobile experience can benefit business in many ways from perception of your brand all the way to overall engagement.
Is your mobile experience loved?
Let us count the ways.
If not, maybe this can help.
Access All Areas
Today’s websites need to connect with all types of consumers. From the time poor to leisurely retirees, there is no room for leaving anyone behind.
More and more online buyers are returning to the devices which are on hand all the time.
For most, this is their smart phone or a tablet.
Mobile apps are and will continue to be the go-to for those customers on the move.
If you are yet to consider an app for your business, it may be worth the time.
If you are not quite there yet, don’t leave any mobile stone unturned.
Consider all convenience-based devices and applications available. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have consideration for those up-and-coming products that may be revolutionary now, but in years to come will be the standard.
Designing Mobile Minds
Visual appearance plays a part…quite a big one on how your customers both potential and existing, feel about your brand.
Check your colors and your font. Bright font won’t get customers past your home page.
If your website appears too busy, it may turn buyers off immediately. Especially if they are browsing to find the best deals.
How busy your mobile website appears will almost always equate to slowness. A slow site is a frustrating site.
Frustration is the number one reason why people will leave one site for another.
Sometimes too much is exactly that.
Wind it back if you need to.
Make Mine Secure
Security is high on the priority list for online buyers, and who could blame them.
The risk of handing over all your information only to have it sold or stolen can be alarming for buyers personally, professionally ruining for any business and a financially catastrophic for both.
Have a privacy policy and make your security features known to buyers, along with any intention to use their data.
Update what you have to the best available.
Are You Mobile Experienced?
Overall user experience is key to online success. If you have mobile applications ready for people to use, make sure they are monitored and updated regularly.
Tracking the sessions will indicate how users navigate your app, how far they get, and general behavior while on the application.
For those without an app, be vigilant with how your site looks on every possible device.
