Live chat, SMS: customer relations in the mobile age<\/h2>\n
The most experienced smartphone users will obviously use their phone first when they need to contact the customer service department to ask a question or submit a request. However, they will not necessarily make a phone call!<\/p>\n
Contradictory? Not necessarily. Looking for a number to call and talking for several minutes isn\u2019t appealing. It is often far more convenient to send a text or even chat live with an advisor or a chatbot<\/em> on an instant messenger.<\/a><\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.oxatis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chatbot-1024x683.jpg\")

In 2020, 63% of customers said they were more likely to visit a website again which has a live chat<\/em>\u00a0feature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
This new trend<\/a> has not gone unnoticed by the companies themselves, who sent their customers or prospects an average of nearly 65,000 A2P (application to person<\/em>) SMS messages per month and per advertiser in 2020, of which 48.73% were notifications and 51.27% were advertising SMS.<\/p>\nIn particular, this communication channel allows the customer to interrupt and continue the written exchange as they wish, but also gives them the opportunity to explain the origin of their request or problem in more detail, all while on the couch binge watching the latest season of Money Heist<\/em> on Netflix.<\/p>\nProgressive Web Apps: a new mobile user experience<\/h2>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.oxatis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/uxmobile-person-684x1024.jpg\")

Even if you are unaware of what a progressive web app<\/em> (PWA)<\/strong> is, you\u2019ve probably already used one when browsing the internet on your mobile.<\/p>\nOne of the characteristics of these apps is they load directly from the integrated browser on your smartphone, with no action required from the user. The user therefore doesn\u2019t need to connect to an app store to download and install it.<\/p>\n
These progressive apps<\/strong> have previously been affected by a lack of interactivity and mobile-oriented features compared to native apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
They have come a long way in a few years: it is now easy to install a shortcut on the phone\u2019s homepage, to send a push <\/em>notification at the right time or even work offline.<\/p>\nPWAs are not expensive, they are easy to maintain and easily accessible.

The Progressive Web App for your conversion rate<\/h3>\n

In addition to its low development cost, a PWA\u2019s main advantage is that it speeds up user access to its services. It has been found that the conversion rate decreases by 20% for each additional step between the user\u2019s first contact with the app and the moment when they can actually start using it.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Core Web Vitals: when UX goes hand in hand with SEO<\/h2>\n
What if the quality of the mobile experience offered by an e-commerce site has a direct impact on its visibility in Google results? The idea is enough to make many e-merchants who are still not very mobile friendly<\/em> sweat. Yet it is about to become a reality and further shake up the way customers find and buy a product online.<\/p>\nGoogle\u2019s new Core Web Vitals indicators, which are expected to affect the search engine\u2019s algorithm results from May 2021, place growing importance on the User Experience (UX). New factors therefore complement the strict analysis of page content according to traditional SEO<\/a> (search engine optimization<\/em>) rules.<\/p>\n\nDownload the complete SEO guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThree new criteria (out of seven in total) could change things completely for many non-mobile optimised sites:<\/p>\n
\n- em>Largest Contentful Paint<\/strong> (LCP) refers to the time taken to load the largest element on the page, and therefore the delay before displaying the main content. In the case of a purchase confirmation page, this will be, for example, the form containing all the information needed for the transaction (delivery address, order details, etc.).<\/li>\n
- First Input Delay<\/em><\/strong> (FID) refers to the delay between the time the user interacts with your site and when they get a response. For example, this indicator focuses on the responsiveness of the site when the visitor clicks on a button or activates a JavaScript function. The quality and intuitiveness of the interface will come into play. Inserting smaller images, among other things, can help to reduce the display time and improve this score.<\/li>\n
- Cumulative Layout Shift<\/em><\/strong> (CLS), on the other hand, focuses on the site\u2019s visual stability. It tends to favour sites that display correctly and efficiently on a wide variety of media and screens (computer, smartphone, all types of tablets etc.). For example, it is important for a product page to display consistently on all screens: important text information covered by an image or poorly calibrated adverts are, among others, a common problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This paradigm shift involves a significant amount of groundwork for e-commerce sites that are still too focused on their desktop version. In return, the brands concerned can expect a significant improvement in the conversion rate of their mobile site, especially if the thinking is paired with the adoption of a real multichannel strategy<\/strong> (website, mobile site, social networks etc.).<\/p>\n***<\/p>\n
Buying habits are rapidly evolving in favour of a new mobile first<\/em>approach<\/strong>. This trend should encourage brands, for those who have not already done so, to consider creating a mobile site<\/strong> that is truly independently designed and integrates as many mobile-<\/em>friendly <\/em>features<\/strong> as possible.<\/p>\nBe prepared to engage in this thinking and carry out a rapid and effective transition to take advantage of the current migration of large customer segments to mobile!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A silent revolution in consumer habits is slowly taking place and is shaking up the digital strategy of many brands.
