First topic of the New Year was m-commerce and how it interacts with e-commerce and in-store shopping.
How does it affect future business models? How can all these forms of shopping interact with each other to make the complete user experience better, more helpful and more effective regardless of the channel?
In the very first of our breakfast seminars our speaker Rogier Beeftink (London UK) addressed these topics and challenged the way we think of commerce today.

WHY SHOPPING CART CONVERSION IS NO LONGER

In 2011, shopping cart abandonment rate reached all-time high of
72%. It’s believed to continue climbing. Why?
Researchers attributed that high rate to user sophistication: as
shoppers become more experienced online, they are more likely to
compare shops even as they move toward checkout.
