Are you losing customers before they convert?

In today’s competitive retail market, conversion optimisation isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether you’re selling trainers or luxury fashion, ghosted carts, clunky checkout journeys, and generic experiences are costing retailers millions in lost revenue.

Are rising basket abandonment rates and low mobile conversions holding you back?

Today’s shoppers expect fast, frictionless digital experiences—and they’re quick to leave if your site doesn’t deliver. Whether it’s confusing navigation, unclear return policies, or slow checkouts, the consequences are real:

  • 70% of ecommerce baskets are abandoned before purchase
  • Mobile conversion rates lag behind desktop by over 50%
  • 55% of shoppers leave when faced with unexpected costs at checkout
  • 17% won’t purchase due to concerns over payment security or data privacy

Retailers are investing in tech, but without shopper insight, even the best platforms fail to convert. Check out our recent guide and webinar on conversion optimisation to learn more.
