Calendars.com Makes a Date with Mobile Commerce
Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 26, 2015 -- Calendars.com launched a new version of their mobile commerce site that allows mobile users to browse, shop, and check out, via the best possible mobile consumer experience. The new site is re-designed specifically for the ever-increasing percentage of consumers accessing Calendars.com via mobile devices. Powerful features are integrated into the new mobile site, extending and leveraging Calendars.com’s current ecommerce infrastructure into the mobile space.
The site was fully re-imagined, from the ground up, and extensive testing refined the features and functionality, with an eye on the highest possible conversion rates.
Unbound Commerce’s unique, hybrid-build methodology was used to allow real-time inventory to be cloud hosted, allowing lightning fast page loads. Orders are processed through the current, ecommerce existing platform using custom proxy technology.
Rich features like live chat, social media sharing, order tracking, and a location enabled, store locator were all built into the new mobile site.
Filling in fields of information on a small screen during checkout can slow the checkout process. Calendars.com integrated PayPal Express Checkout as a payment option, to streamline the checkout process for its mobile customers. The new mobile site was also designed to support both Registered User log-in and Guest Checkout.
“Mobile will only continue to grow, and it is vital to provide an optimal and seamless experience across devices. We engaged with Unbound Commerce to design, build and deploy a re-imagined mobile site,” said Jessica Gillespie, Senior Manager of Digital Marketing at Calendars.com. “Our business is very seasonal, and we wanted the option to tailor our mobile offering to our mobile audience, and shape that offering based on mobile-specific sales numbers,” she added.
