Device Hopping Intensifies; Study Finds That 41% of Smartphone Shoppers Started Their Shopping Session on a Different Device
Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) June 19, 2014 -- The study analyzes cross device shopping trends of customers in eCommerce sites worldwide. In particular, the study examines 98,000 site visits that originated from clicks on cart abandonment emails, during May 2014.
Key findings point out that device hopping is rife among mobile shoppers. Almost 1 of every 3 shoppers that started their shopping session on a smartphone or a tablet completed their purchase on a different device (30% in the case of smartphone users and 34% of tablet users). The hopping trend intensifies in the case of smartphone users, where 41% of customers who performed a purchase on their smartphone did so following an initial browsing session that was conducted on another device.
Another interesting finding of this study is how confident tablet users were to finalize a purchase on their tablet. 19.5% of shoppers, who clicked a link in a cart abandonment email on their tablet, ended up converting. This is almost as high as the conversion rate on computers which stood at 21%.
This study also proves the effectiveness, and revenue-enhancing potential of cart abandonment emails. The overall conversion rate of visits from cart abandonment emails was 19.6% (almost 1 in 5 emails converted into a sale) - extremely high by any marketer’s standards.
