Mobile technology has revolutionized so many aspects of how we live our life and shopping is no exception. Mobile commerce will continue to evolve and brands need to adapt now.

  • The average American spends over four hours on their phones every day, checking it as often as 150 times
  • Mobile dominated BFCM 2019 on Shopify, generating 69% of sales
  • 55% of consumers have bought something online after discovering it on social media. 

According to a report by Google, users who have a negative experience in your mobile store are 62% less likely to purchase from you in the future. While optimizing your mobile website is necessary, it isn’t the ultimate solution to the challenges of mobile drop off.
