Tablets offer more immersive and rich media experiences
Most important task-‐oriented services are directly accessible via the home screen. All other services are only a swipe away
Tablets can offer more rich-‐media and immersive experiences during the discovery and explore phase of the customer lifecycle

Don’t expect “game-‐changing” mobile technologies in 2013
• NFC, augmented reality, image recogniWon, 2D bar codes flexible displays, LTE, indoor posiWoning…
• Significant progress but no major breakthroughs
• CombinaWon of mobile technologies to enable beuer experiences

Responsive Web Design seems to be an answer…
• A consistent and op4mized experience across all web-‐enabled touchpoints: a single code base and a single site for all web experiences • A reduc4on in maintenance risks and release cycle Wmes • A beVer marke4ng visibility thanks to a single « device-‐agnosWc » url structure.
• A way to size up as well as down • One single web team with a breakdown of development silos
Like Sony, a growing number of brands are leveraging responsive sites to adapt to the size of orientaWon of the screens

....however responsive design is not the panacea
#monetatewebinar
…Be aware of some key limitaWons
• Responsive design is a philosophy more than a technology.
• It is s4ll the early days. • Despite the hype, there are few responsive eCommerce sites. • Customers do not want the same basic experience everywhere on every device • It does not replace the need to develop unique experiences for a given touchpoint. • You’ll need to invest in internal skills.
#monetatewebinar
Key takeaways • The Mobile Mind ShiS is happening now
• Brands must combine inWmacy, immediacy and context to offer more relevant mobile experiences
• It is Wme to invest to differenWate tomorrow’s experiences on mulWple connected devices
