Convert mobile browsers into buyers with native iOS and Android apps or custom Shopify solutions. Cut marketplace dependency, increase mobile conversion by 40-60%, and own your customer relationships.
Your mobile web traffic exceeds 45%, but mobile conversion rates lag desktop by 50-60%. Mobile browsers abandon carts, struggle with checkout, and never return. You're paying for traffic that doesn't convert.
Zalando, Amazon, and other marketplaces take 15-30% per transaction. For a €10M business, that's €1.5M-€3M in annual fees—just to access customers who already know your brand. You don't own the relationship or the data.
Customer acquisition costs have increased 60% since 2022. Meta ads, Google Shopping, and influencer partnerships cost €40-€80 per customer. Without strong retention mechanics, customers buy once and disappear.
National chains and well-funded DTC brands have native apps with push notifications, loyalty programs, and one-tap checkout. They're capturing mobile shoppers while you're stuck with a mobile website that can't compete.
Native apps load instantly, store payment information, and offer Apple Pay/Google Pay integration. The average native retail app sees 2.8x higher conversion than mobile web. For a business doing €5M in mobile traffic annually, that's €1.5M-€2.5M in additional revenue.
Build your own channel. A £12M UK fashion retailer migrated 42% of marketplace customers to their native app in 18 months, saving £680K annually in commissions. The app paid for itself in 7 months.
Push notifications, personalized recommendations, and loyalty programs drive customers back. Retail apps with smart retention mechanics see 3-5x higher lifetime value per customer compared to web-only shoppers.
