1) Between 17-20% of luxury retail brands' customer intentions come from mobile devices, affecting all luxury brands globally. The impact is higher in larger luxury markets like the US, UK, France, and Japan.
2) Most luxury brands are not optimizing their mobile experiences and are abandoning a large percentage of customer intentions and requests on mobile. Basic mobile sites and lack of apps mean the experience is broken for many brands.
3) To capture the mobile opportunity, brands should take a three step approach - fix basic mobile experiences, mobilize storytelling through participative content, and create holistic value experiences across all channels including mobile. This will allow brands to engage customers and win on mobile.
