Study shows consumers are more satisfied with their mobile commerce experiences
Customer satisfaction with mobile commerce seems to be steadily improving as mobile commerce services become easier to use and address many of the security concerns that consumers have. A new study from Foresee highlights this satisfaction among consumers in the United Kingdom. UK consumers have been showing strong interest in mobile commerce over the past two years. Many of these consumers have been using their mobile devices to shop online at the various retailers in the UK that have come to embrace mobile commerce.
Study highlights UK e-commerce sites
The study from Foresee examines the 40 largest retailers in the UK that have e-commerce websites. Each retail site was rated on a 100-point scale. The study found that consumer satisfaction with traditional websites held steady at 74 since 2010. It also found that satisfaction for mobile websites came in at 72 among consumers. Foresee notes that the disparity between these two channels has been slowly decreasing and the firm suggests that satisfaction in mobile commerce may soon overcome that seen in traditional channels.
Consumers becoming more comfortable with making mobile payments
The study suggests that consumers are becoming more comfortable with mobile commerce. Over the past two years, more mobile commerce services have become available, either in the form of mobile applications or through the use of NFC technology. Security concerns have also been addressed in order to create more peace of mind among consumers that wish to participate in mobile commerce. Adoption of mobile commerce is highest among retailers as they consider this form of commerce a very attractive concept to modern, tech-savvy consumers.
Better services encourage participation from consumers
The study shows that more people are using their mobile devices to shop for and purchase products. This trend is not likely to change in the foreseeable future, according to Foresee. Consumers are likely to continue showing support for mobile commerce, especially as new services become available to them that make shopping from their mobile device more convenient.
