70% of Those Who Bought in a Store, Checked Mobile First

70% of Those Who Bought in a Store, Checked Mobile First | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

For commerce, mobile is at center stage. For example, 70% of smartphone owners who bought something in a store first turned to their device for information related to that purchase.

The tricky part here is that a retailer may never see the actual mobile activity that could be heavily influencing sales in their stores.

Some of this activity happens well before a store visit. The majority (68%) of consumers search on their smartphones for things they want to address at some point in the future.

Interestingly, at the actual moment consumers want to make a purchase, most (65%) used a mobile phone during that moment.

The number one way that those in-the-moment purchase considerations are addressed by 71% of consumers is by visiting a retailer’s website or app....

Mobile and Social Shopping Trends HUGE For 2014 Holidays

Mobile and Social Shopping Trends HUGE For 2014 Holidays | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The holidays are almost upon us, and recent surveys confirm what many business owners have suspected: social commerce, and the use of mobile channels, is increasing and will have a huge impact on 2014 holiday shopping behaviors. The shift toward social shopping highlights trends that impact both business-to-consumer and business-to-business (B2B) purchasing.


As reported by MarketingLand, mobile and social channels will play a significant role in holiday shopping this year. In an online survey of 1,000 smartphone owners, sponsored by MarketLive.com, one in three shoppers stated they plan to make more than 50 percent of purchases via mobile devices. Thirty percent of respondents reported having made a purchase as a direct result of “engagement with a social networking site” within the past year. This is up from 18 percent the previous year.
