12. WHY SHOULD WE
USE M-COMMERCE
R E T A I L T R E N D S A N D M - C O M M E R C E

18. DIGITAL DISRUPTION
is the change that occurs when
new digital technologies and business
models affect the value proposition of
existing goods and services.

19. The main goal in m-commerce is to
ensure that your business’
shopping experience is well-suited
to the smaller screen sizes that we
see on smartphones and tablets.
Concepts such as responsive
designs and a mobile-friendly user
experience are all important for
your business’ m-commerce
success, as well as mobile apps.

20. FIVE SIMPLE STEPS
SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS CAN TAKE
TO MAKE SURE THEIR
BUSINESSES ARE PRIMED
FOR MOBILE COMMERCE

21. USE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB.
To get a website or online store, use a
hosted platform with responsive
design. If you're already using a
popular blog platform like
WordPress, choose a theme and
shopping cart that employ
responsive design. This makes
securely processing credit card
payments on a WordPress site as
easy as cutting and pasting a snippet
of code for one of the popular hosted
shopping carts.

22. THINK MOBILE FIRST.
Check that your website design and
navigation work well on mobile
devices. Keeping any inputs to forms
to a minimum. And make sure that the
checkout process for customers is
simple, easy and quick to complete on
a mobile device, as fingers are
clumsier on a smartphone than on a
PC keyboard.

23. GET THE E-COMMERCE BASICS RIGHT.
Good-quality images and
descriptions are essential.
Nothing will turn a
prospective buyer off more
quickly than a bad picture of
your product. Be clear about
communicating
your shipping costs, delivery
times and any warranties. If
possible, offer free shipping
above a particular order
value if you sell physical
products.

24. REMEMBER THAT SPEED MATTERS.
Using a mobile device makes
people very impatient, and
businesses often lose sales if
their sites don't load quickly
enough, or if the checkout
process takes too long. Small
businesses should use a
hosted website or e-commerce
solution that has been
optimized for speed.

25. MAKE THE MOST OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
Apps, especially those for social
media, continue to be the
most popular way to spend
time on mobile devices. Small
business can use these social
networks as an additional
sales channel. They're also a
good way to engage with
prospective customers.
