Nowadays, where more than 60% of global internet traffic flows from mobile devices, small mistakes made in mobile marketing strategies can lead to huge revenue losses.In this guide, we examine 4 critical mistakes to avoid.
Introduction: Precise Dynamics of the Mobile Screen
Mobile users are much more impatient and have shorter attention spans than desktop users.Opening a mobile page later than 3 seconds causes 53% of users to abandon the site [1].
Mistake #1: Cramming the Desktop Experience into a Small Screen
Just making a website responsive does not mean mobile optimization.Mobile users need large thumb-friendly buttons, simplified forms, and menus that can be easily managed with one hand.Complex navigation structures increase bounce rates [2].
Mistake #2: Impulsive Push Notification Bombardment
Push notifications are the most direct communication channel with the user;However, notifications that do not offer value, are sent at irrelevant hours, or are repeated too frequently will cause the user to close the application to notifications or delete them completely.
Mistake #3: Not Offering Local Payment and Express Login Solutions
The biggest reason for mobile shopping cart abandonment rates is being asked to fill out complex credit card forms.Not offering Apple Pay, Google Pay and one-click sign-on (OAuth) solutions reduces conversion rates by half.
Error 4: Lack of Deep Linking
If the user clicks on a product they see in an email or ad and is redirected to the home page, the sale will be missed.Deep link configurations that lead directly to the application page where the relevant product is located are mandatory.
