Editor's Notes

- #46 Specific channel and device breakdowns are quite interesting, with mobile and tablet visitors to the main Oxfam website up significantly year on year (124 per cent and 45 per cent respectively), and donations from those devices both up over 50 per cent from this time last year as well. In our online shop, we are now seeing over one third of all visitors coming via tablet and mobile – it’s around 35 per cent on weekdays and rises to over 40 per cent at weekends. Of those, the majority are from tablets and while average transaction values on desktops and phones are fairly similar, tablet users spend an average of £3 more per order. Mobile revenue is up 207 per cent on last year and we expect this to rise still further when our shop site becomes fully mobile-optimised later this summer. Interestingly we see the opposite trend for donations, where mobiles have a significantly lower average gift value than desktops as well as a much lower conversion rate. Digital and mobile are particularly important during an emergency, and we saw this in particular during the Philippines crisis response last year. At that time mobile device usage (phones and tablets) was considerably higher in terms of both traffic and donations, and we are increasingly seeing that people are more inclined to engage on these devices when there’s a lot of media coverage or a sense of urgency. Having our on-site, mobile and acquisition activity ready to go in advance of an emergency is therefore a hugely important part of our work as a digital team.
