Spreadshirt, ecommerce platform for spreading ideas on something tangible, continues to set the pace in getting the mobile experience right for global users and partners. The intense mobile focus began three years ago and continues to accelerate offering up further evidence on the merits of going mobile to grab market share and interested users.

“The race to grab the click to buy in ecommerce is all about going mobile. We totally get how essential it is for our platform to be simple, fast, and fun to use for consumers as well as for sellers,” says Philip Rooke, CEO of Spreadshirt, “Three years ago we made a conscious effort to focus more heavily on mobile, and the investment has paid off. We are hyper-focused on simplifying the user experience of the Spreadshirt platform with mobile optimization and everything else that makes international selling and sharing of ideas as easy as possible.”
Metrics that show the mobile strategy is working and driving more traffic and interest from visitors:

Spreadshirt knows that getting mobile right is not just about buying a product from mobile, it is also about the ability to easily design and share ideas on every product offered from any device. The effort is ongoing to continually enhance a selling experience that is fun, fast, simple, and accessible for everyone.
In the shorter term for the mobile journey, Spreadshirt plans to launch an official Seller App for all Spreadshirt partners that will allow partners to display upcoming promotions, sales, and favorite products at a glance. They are also focused on enhancing the partner area making it even easier to manage all international merchandizing businesses on the Spreadshirt platform.
