10. 10 | STATE OF CROSS-DEVICE COMMERCE H2 2016
Cross-device is here to stay
Again this year, about one-third of online retail
transactions involved two or more devices.
Old models fall short
Retailers using conventional device-focused
analytics do so at their peril, undervaluing
consumer engagement and missing the
opportunity to optimize advertising spend.
No vertical is exempt
Cross-device buying is the new norm across all
retail categories.
Forget “browse on smartphone, buy on
desktop”
As smartphones extend their role from browsing
to purchasing, retailers must ensure the user
experience is consistent, synchronized and
seamless not only for mobile, but across all
devices and platforms.
Key Findings
11. Reach Out
• Evaluate the low-hanging fruit: do you have an internal X-D solution or
relationships with vendors that can run X-D analysis for you?
Where To
Go From
Here? Do the Math
• Pull data for your specific user-base to understand the path-to-
purchase across devices
• Determine which data points you’d most want translated into people-
based metrics
Integrate
• Consider which systems need to ingest X-D information to power
improved insights? Web analytics? Sales attribution? Ad tracking? Your
DMP / Data Warehouse?
Re-orient
• Move to a user-centric paradigm across all aspects of e-commerce
