Shopper Research Highlights Consumers’ Multichannel Habits | Mobile Marketing Magazine | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

When researching purchases in store, more than twice as many shoppers head for a website, rather than an app, on their smartphone.


Questioned about how they use their mobiles in store, 47 per cent of respondents said they used their phone for sharing ideas, followed by 29 per cent who said they used it for comparing prices, with 20 per cent saying they used their phone for finding product information, and 17 per cent for sharing photos, taking pictures as a reminder, finding store location information, and browsing (with no intention to purchase)....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

70 per cent of UK shoppers have a smartphone, and 30 percent of smartphone owners have used their phone to shop in the last month, according to new research. Lots more insight for marketers and retailers.

The latest tally, based on more than 1 billion transactions in 3,000 online retail and travel businesses measured by Criteo, shows mobile in the first quarter of this year accounting for more than a third (34%) of all online transactions globally.

In the U.S., 29% of all online sales now are via mobile, led by fashion and luxury, mass merchants and travel.

The mobile share of ecommerce transactions grew 10% in the last three months, according to Criteo, which projects yet another 10% growth in the U.S. by the end of this year. That would put mobile transactions at 33% of U.S. online purchases and 40% globally....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

No question the money in mobile is starting to flow big time.
