Jay Suites' clientele increasingly use mobile platforms to browse the web<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York, NY, December 5, 2011 \u2013 Jay Suites, a leading provider of executive suites rental, virtual offices, and other office space products in New York City, announced plans to launch a mobile version of its website and client portal late last week.\u00a0 The decision follows a steady migration among its visitors and customers to mobile browsing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general mobile trend isn\u2019t new, but we\u2019ve began to notice it in our business only in recent weeks,\u201d says Jack Srour, the company\u2019s COO.\u00a0 Jay Suites uses advanced tracking technology to analyze data about its site usage, including visitor sources and platforms.\u00a0 The data has recently pointed to an increasing share of visitors who are accessing the site using mobile browsers.\u00a0\u00a0 Juda Srour, Jay Suites\u2019 President, explains: \u201cAs in any other aspect of our business, our website places high emphasis on user-friendliness and design.\u00a0 But since mobile browsers always represented a small fraction of our visitors, it didn\u2019t play a major role.\u201d\u00a0 Now, that has changed.\u00a0 \u201cMobile accessibility is now our top design concern,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

The NY-based office space provider will certainly be a pioneer in the area.\u00a0 A quick scan of the shared\/flexible office space industry\u2019s online presence reveals that its players have barely ventured into addressing mobile platforms, with virtually none adopting mobile websites.\u00a0 Granted, the industry is mainly comprised of relatively smaller office space providers (5 or less office space center locations) with relatively limited marketing budgets mainly focused on promoting their offerings.\u00a0 Yet even the larger, well-known competitors have not created mobile-friendly browsing experiences, a surprising fact given that companies of similar size in other industries have already launched well-developed websites geared specifically towards mobile browsers.<\/p>\n

Indeed, general trends suggest that desktop devices still dominate the browsing world: according to StatCounter, just over 7% of all online usage involved mobile devices in October 2011.\u00a0 However, Jay Suites\u2019 share is reportedly more significant, ranging as high as 35% on some days.\u00a0 Considering the typical target market of executive suites rental companies \u2013 namely, 1-8 person law firms, accountants and startups \u2013 this over-representation seems logical, and the lack of mobile adoption among competitors rather surprising.<\/p>\n

Jay Suites has already commissioned its marketing team to create mobile-friendly versions of its website as well as its feature-rich client portal.\u00a0 Adopted two years ago, the proprietary portal allows users to book conference rooms, pay invoices, and submit service requests, among other tasks.\u00a0 Dozens of tenants access the portal every day \u2013 and lately, an increasing proportion of them have expressed the desire to be able to perform many of these functions on-the-go.\u00a0 Jay Suites\u2019 management has considered an upgrade for some time, but was deterred by the costs of transferring historical data to a new system.\u00a0 But the need for mobile access convinced management to embark on the undertaking, further complicated by the company\u2019s strong emphasis on high-quality design and functionality.<\/p>\n

Despite the project\u2019s overall complexity, Jay Suites\u2019 management strongly believes in its potential to improve its customers\u2019 online experience and boost sales.\u00a0 \u201cAt the end of the day, we\u2019re here to provide the best service to our customers in new ways,\u201d reiterates Jack.\u00a0 Mobile accessibility is a sure way to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
