To help you serve these customers better, we've described four ways you can optimize the in-store experience for mobile users.

E-catalogs are great for boosting your conversion rates, but they’re useless if no one can visit them. To really get the most out of your digital catalogs, you’ll need to drive traffic to them. We know that traffic generation can be tricky, so we decided to write a series on our blog about how you can distribute your digital catalogs to increase your pageviews.
We have completely reworked the way hotspots work in Publitas. You can now set your hotspot’s click area by drawing a rectangle that can be resized at a later point.
