Some tips that Cypher said have led to eBay's successful mobile efforts, and should become goals for all retailers’ mobile programs, include the following:
- mobile pages that load in less than five seconds;
- prioritizing top features/content/deals at the top of the page;
- limit required data entry on the checkout page; and
- add large, clearly visible product category and search boxes.
In addition to selling via a mobile site, the channel can be used as a tool to complement the in-store shopping experience, Cypher said. He cited Apple as a great example of a retailer that empowers its store associates via mobile devices. The top ways store associates can use mobile devices to improve the in-store experience include as a point-of-sale service (i.e., line busting); to look up inventory availability; leverage assisted selling such as personalized recommendations based on past purchase behavior; and task management.
