Mobile eCommerce

Mobile commerce gives users of hand-held devices such as the iPhone, iPad and other smartphones the power to purchase goods and services from your website, directly from their mobile phones. It’s an increasingly popular way of doing business these days, and if your website is not already equipped to handle transactions of this kind then you may be losing out on potential sales. In 2011, eBay reported earnings of over $5 billion from purchases made through mobile phones alone, and experts say that mobile commerce will play an important role in any business’s strategy in the coming years. In a 2012 Online Business Index report, 72 per cent of businesses surveyed echoed these same sentiments.

In Australia – one of the fastest growing mobile markets in the world – smartphone users are purchasing something online with their phones every 15 seconds. And as of January 2013, 29 per cent of mobile users had made at least one purchase on their phones. This number is set to increase in the coming years as the wave of the smartphone and tablet revolution sweeps further throughout the developed world

Transacting directly on our mobile phones offers a degree of convenience and accessibility that’s hard to beat. In an age where almost everyone carries around their internet-enabled phone 24/7 and when time is precious and hard to come by, more and more people are using their phones to bank, socialise, and – most importantly for businesses – to purchase goods and services at anytime, anywhere. Having a mobile commerce will make it much easier for your customers to do business with you and increase your eCommerce conversion rate resulting in more sales and loyal customers.
