About The Live Discussion:

While they may have more resources at their disposal, large retailers do not seem to do any better than their smaller merchant counterparts when it comes to converting online shoppers into buyers at checkout, especially when using a mobile device.

Underperforming merchants are leaving an estimated $162 billion in annual revenue on the table when they are unable to convert an online shopper to a buyer.

Brick-and-mortar merchants have acknowledged the checkout conversion struggles they’re facing, but at the same time many large retailers aren’t adequately addressing four major blind spots that get in the way of a better performance.

These blind spots include: 

– The lack of relevant data (the data blind spot)

– A lack of a having a checkout conversion strategy (the strategic blind spot)

– The reliance on in-store POS partners to deliver an eCommerce and mobile checkout experience (the hardware blind spot)

– An unrealistic expectation of omnichannel at the expense of perfecting a multichannel experience first (the omnichannel blind spot)

On Thursday, July 21 at 1:00 PM (EST), MPD CEO Karen Webster will be joined by Scott Fitzgerald, SVP at BlueSnap, for a live digital discussion where they will dive into the data from the Q2 2016 Checkout Conversion Index, including how the overall index improved three points to 56.4 from the first quarter of this year.
