Remington Launches Innovative Mobile Commerce Site
LONDON, November 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Spectrum Brands, a global consumer products company with market-leading brands,
announced today that an mCommerce enabled, mobile-optimised version of its UK personal
care Remington website has been launched.
Designed and built by leading mobile marketing agency, Incentivated
[http://www.incentivated.com ], the site is a transcoded version of the brand's desktop
website, providing access to the full range of Remington products from hair dryers to
electric shavers.
The innovation for this transcoded site (http://uk.remington-europe.mobi) comes
through the UI and UX brought to life through template designs and menu structures.
Echoing the design elements of the website, Incentivated have enabled dynamic,
split-screen image-based menus, using swipe gestures for intuitive interactivity and ease
of searching and browsing through the site.
The split screen allows for Remington "hero" products to be promoted - and for these
heroes to be dynamically updated as offers change or new products are released. Because
the site is transcoded, any content changes made to the website are automatically fed
through to the mobile site without any further editing being needed.
Secure integrated payment technology allows product purchases to be completed through
the mobile-optimised checkout.
Katie McLean, European Digital Manager, Spectrum Brands: "We are pleased to be able to
bring our products to our customers through their mobile devices. Presenting a
cookie-cutter site to our customers was never an option for Remington. They, and we, are
more sophisticated than that and we are delighted to be able to provide them with a fully
transactional site that maintains our brand integrity."
Jonathan Bass, Managing Director, Incentivated: "Mobile is fundamentally different
from desktop browsers and you can't just pare down a site to 'make it work' for mobile.
Being able to deliver this site for Remington which pays as much respect to their brand
and the design challenge in providing customers with an experience that works with the
phone's capabilities and strengths, such as the swipe for touchscreen phones and 'click to
call' buttons.
We believe this is another great example of a company understanding that mobile is
critical to their future success, but not compromising their brand in order to deliver for
their customers."
