38 ENABLING YOUR BUSINESS

39 Summary of Recommendations As smartphones become the largest productivity connection tool, brands and retailers must adjust to provide consumers with access to easily shop from any mobile device. Provide mobile consumers at least one mobile friendly payment option. Remind consumers of items left behind with shopping cart abandonment s, site abandonment s and remarketing messages. Some consumers will prefer to complete the transaction via desktop or tablet, so continue to offer reminders and send remarketing messages to those who have browsed key content on a smartphone without converting. Blue Moon Digital recommends that all clients offer PayPal, as well as Amazon Payments and Google Wallet on their classic and mobile websites. PayPal, Amazon Payments and Google Wallet are widely accepted and have the largest group of participating consumers. Blue Moon Digital recommends that no more than three additional mobile payment options are offered beyond Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Too many options may push the payment options to the second page, especially on mobile devices, and may become confusing to shoppers. 39 Confidential & Proprietary Blue Moon Digital, Inc. 2015
