LONDON, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Leading mobile marketing and technology company, Incentivated, has been chosen by Spectrum Brands to design and build a transcoded mCommerce-enabled mobile site for Remington.

Remington, a UK leader in personal care products, has tasked Incentivated with bringing their desktop direct eCommerce sales channel to mobile, providing on-the-go access to the full range of Remington products from hairdryers to electric razors.

As well as mobile-specific user experience (UX) and consumer journey design, Incentivated will be creating a range of specific template designs to apply to the screen-scraped content, ensuring a "write once, publish everywhere" mobile website that displays perfectly and appropriately, whatever the customer's phone. As a lifestyle brand visual impact as well as product and price promotions will be important for driving conversion.

Katie McLean, European Digital Manager, Spectrum Brands: "The future of retail is clear: get involved in mobile, or miss out. At Spectrum Brands, we are striving to provide the best personal care products for our customers, wherever they choose to look for them. With creative, UX, and technical expertise all under the one roof, and an industry-leading client base, Incentivated was the obvious choice for us."

Jonathan Bass, Managing Director, Incentivated: "We are delighted to be asked to deliver this transcoded mCommerce mobile site for Remington. Conversion has been proven on mobile and now the challenge for design/UX within mobile shopper marketing is to increase basket-size as well as raise conversion rates still further."
