VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Dec 5, 2016) - Mobify customer Lancôme, the world's leading luxury beauty brand, has launched a new Progressive Mobile web presence, delivering a high-performing, app-like experience that represents the future of the mobile web. Lancôme selected Mobify, the leading provider of mobile customer engagement technology, for its proven ability to increase mobile web revenues and competitive advantage for retailers and brands worldwide.
According to Malik Abu-Ghazaleh, vice president digital marketing & ecommerce at Lancôme's parent company L'Oréal, "Working with Mobify to deliver our new Progressive Mobile website is about laying the foundation for better ways to reach and engage with customers through personal communications, individualized shopping experiences, and tailored, contextual services based on customer journeys from discovery to checkout."
Mobify's Progressive Mobile technology combines Google-pioneered Progressive Web App functionality with other app-like features designed to engage online and in-store shoppers. With the look and feel of a native app, the new site features the ability to add engagement technologies such as real-time web push notifications and mobile web payments via Apple Pay. It also delivers exceptionally fast mobile web experiences. This is critical because, for every 100 millisecond decrease in homepage load speeds, customers see a 1.11% lift in session-based conversion.
Lancôme expects to reduce page loads by 2-4x and increase conversion rates on mobile to take advantage of a significant increase in mobile traffic. Phase 1 of the project is complete, with the core customer journey from discovery to checkout now built with Progressive Mobile Web. Next is integration of Apple Pay, which will make Lancôme one of the first retailers to deploy the new mobile web payments. Phase 2 will feature the ability to deliver dynamic, relevant content to customers based on their location or behavior.
Abu-Ghazaleh says all shoppers are increasingly looking for simplicity, convenience and context, and they want the same quality and responsiveness they get from popular applications like Facebook and Snapchat.
"With our new Progressive Mobile website we're able to reduce page loads with a fast site that's ready to deliver all the latest mobile customer engagement features to meet the needs of our shoppers in the moment."
With a presence in 130 countries and innovations such as customized cosmetic experiences using digital readings of a client's face, Lancôme is known for embracing disruptive technology. The brand was recognized by Fast Company for 2016 Innovation by Design and designated a "Genius" by the "Digital IQ Index: Beauty 2015." Now, with its next-generation mobile web presence, Lancôme is the first beauty brand to adopt emerging Progressive Web App technology to radically improve online customer experiences.
