Some Fashion Selling Better Through Mobile

Some, but not all.  Not by a long shot.  This was a very interesting article to me that emphasizes the differences in the eCommerce world between desktop buying, mobile buying, and leads to questions around in-store buying habits.

Here is a snippet from the piece:

A Gilt executive at the Mobile Shopping Summit 2015 revealed that more consumers purchase Hermès handbags on mobile than on desktop, suggesting that accessories and jewelry are better suited to mcommerce than ready-to-wear apparel.

During the “Loyalty Panel: Increasing Customer Lifetime Value By Developing A Consistent Brand Voice Across Devices” session, the executive discussed how some retail categories are not as readily bridged with mobile as others. Consequently, the brand has revamped the imagery in its mobile application and site and lessened credit card friction to make the shopping process seamless and fuel more sales.

“Some categories we haven’t been able to bridge as much as others,” said Cynthia Kleinbaum, director of loyalty marketing at Gilt Groupe, New York. “Ready-to-wear has been a challenge, not so much accessories and handbags.”

Happy Reading,
