4 Ways to Expand Your Mobile Strategy

Apr 19, 2016 by Erica

The debate about whether you need to design a mobile experience for consumers has been settled. With Google’s algorithmic changes last year that favor mobile-ready sites and the fact that the majority of adults use smartphones, if you have not yet optimized your site’s mobile user experience, do so now. As you build and improve your mobile user experience, remember that mobile isn’t a new or separate avenue of ecommerce; it’s an integral part of the consumer journey that provides new opportunities to personalize a shopper’s experience. It allows you to strengthen the relationship between them and your brand. As you plan your mobile engagement strategy, consider utilizing the following four tactics:

  • Social engagement rewards
  • Make email contact mobile-friendly
  • Utilize mobile-ready interactive ads
  • Craft your strategy for how customers use mobile today, but consider how to respond to future technology

Encourage Social Sharing

Consumers are already engaging heavily with social media via mobile. With devices constantly in hand, sending incessant notifications to interact, the average adult spends significant screen time on their phone. Capitalize on this this level of interaction by adopting strategies to capture consumer attention while they are on their mobile devices.

Top 5 Things to Look for in a New Ecommerce Platform

Jan 5, 2016 by Erica

Consumer expectations in ecommerce evolve rapidly. It’s important to stay responsive to those expectations in order to stay competitive in a diverse and growing field. This doesn’t mean adopting every new trend as it comes along in an effort to stick to the cutting edge of ecommerce innovation, however. It’s much better to implement features most suited to your business needs exceptionally well, rather than partially implement a myriad of features that won’t suit your clients. As your business grows and evolves, staying responsive to customer expectations may mean replatforming your site. The decision to do so requires significant consideration and planning. Moving to a new platform shouldn’t mean enduring the same shortcomings as the platform you recently left behind. Make sure any new platform you consider has the following five features:

  • Customizability
  • Scalability
  • Built-in OMS
  • Robust marketing tools
  • Ongoing client support

Customizability

A platform that allows you to customize features, link to modern APIs, and design to your specific business needs is essential. Many platforms offer generic packages that don’t account for the unique requirements of individual ecommerce businesses. If a tool that is essential to your company is only available in one package, you are ob... Read more

Use Brand Persona to Stand Out from the Crowd

Aug 4, 2015 by Erica

Finding your brand’s voice is as important as setting your site’s design. Customers respond to authenticity and consistency; without these, your brand will struggle to succeed in the crowded ecommerce landscape. While it is easiest to craft brand tone when first launching an ecommerce site, it is worthwhile to periodically review and clarify tone guidelines as your company evolves. If you haven’t generated a brand tone guide, now is the time to create one. Creating a brand persona is an invaluable tool for developing your brand voice and also determining how to best reach target customers.

Once formulated, a brand persona will:

  • set a tone for social media posts
  • assist in goal setting
  • help engender familiarity and trust
  • provide customer service with a framework for consistent, quality support
