  • Effective handling of visual elements

Nowadays, mobile applications are dominating the market, acquiring considerable clients and growing profits. If you explore the reasons for their success, the User experience will be the most important factor. 46% of people say they would not purchase from a brand again if they had an interruptive mobile experience. What does it mean? It means that you should focus on understanding, evaluating your customer’s needs, and offering them a handy mobile commerce solution that keeps them engaged with your business. Confused? Let me share 5 tips that could help you in offering a more intuitive mobile shopping experience to your customers.

1. Create a customer-centric search

The search experience that you offer to your customers has the potential to make or break online sales. Surprisingly, a recent report states that more than 40 percent of customers turn to intelligent assistants before they make a purchase decision.

Here are some examples where eCommerce businesses can implement to create a customer-centric search:

Voice search

Having an intelligent voice search is an incredible opportunity for eCommerce businesses to stand out from competitors and enhance their UX. Voice recognition technology is becoming more accurate and its popularity will continue to grow which makes your customers more comfortable to get better results.

Leveraging Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence for Preference-based Search Engine

Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence make mobile platforms more user-friendly, improves customer experience and aids in building consistent omnichannel experiences. ML / AI helps you classify and structure your customers, provide them with the most relevant and enticing content that could increase your sales revenue.

2. Manage Catalogue Wisely

It is essential to simplify the product arrangement and it is one of the most important factors for boosting eCommerce sales. Within a three-tap, your app should allow your customers to arrive at the product they searched for. Here are some tips to make your customer’s journey simple:

  • A simple click to land your customers to the product page
  • Display a certain category of products at the homepage to make their purchase decision simple
  • Add checkout on your product page.

3. Design for multiple holds

You should understand that your customers will be mobile and if you want users to be able to purchase anytime and anywhere, you have to consider the facts about how they hold and use mobile phones. Designers should ensure that they have the layout elements in comfortable areas before they start their design process.

In general, there are three patterns of how users hold their smartphones. Firstly, applying two hands – one is holding a device and the forefinger of the other navigates. Secondly, a one-handed hold where the user interacts with an app using a thumb and finally the third one is a mix of two previous ones. Making the design more intuitive and adjustable to these patterns helps to fasten the conversion rate.

4. Highlighting the Brand Elements

Brand identity plays a big role in any business and it essential for any designer to handle these brand assets more intelligently. The basic brand assets that have to be highlighted include:

  • Logo
  • Mascots
  • Color palette
  • Custom font

Representing these elements in the user interface of an app will increase the recognizability of your brand and app.

5. Swift Checkout

Time is very critical for any business and modern users are extremely impatient where they expect a quick and secure checkout. If your app is taking time which is more than expected, they’ll abandon it and choose the one which is fast enough. It is advisable to collect customer data during the sign-up itself where this helps to save the time they spend on the checkout page. Also, having multiple payment gateways will help customers to make their own choice.

It is evident that the mobile eCommerce market is growing exponentially and in case if you are planning to start your own online shopping business, you should ensure that you have a mobile app with a stunning and intuitive user experience. Reach out to a professional eCommerce development company if required where they can help you with immersive app designs. Found this blog interesting? Please subscribe to my blog for future updates.

  • Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site - ecombytes.com - while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across ecombytes.com, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    CLICK HERE http://www.talkwithwebvisitors.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?

    CLICK HERE http://www.talkwithwebvisitors.com to discover what Talk With Web Visitor can do for your business.

    You could be converting up to 100X more leads today!
