Mobile is driving an increasing share of commerce. If you're not optimizing purchase paths for smartphones and tablets, you can't miss this timely webinar by ecommerce expert Charles Nicholls.
Brands that have optimized for mobile devices are now getting as much as half of their sales from mobile devices. Yet for most retailers, abandonment rates on mobile continue to be dramatically higher than desktop. Why?
Join Charles in this encore performance of his recent Conversion Conference keynote session, in which he reveals:
* Who is spending money on mobile devices, what are they buying, where and how?
* 3 techniques for capturing the sale using mobile devices
* The secrets of success for conversions on both smartphones and tablets
