Roughly 72 percent are researching an item or checking prices on a smartphone before buying. Store locators are popular with 60 percent of smartphone users, and 55 percent are using mobile coupons.

Reviews are popular with slightly more than half of all mobile device users and 44 percent of smartphone users use digital lists while shopping....

55% luxury spending now experiential purchases: BCG - Luxury Daily - Research | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Luxury in the form of premium experiences are seeing the most action in terms of spending, while high-end goods are lagging in comparison, according to new findings from a study by Boston Consulting Group.

The key finding of BCG’s Luxe Redux report is that there has been a shift in spending habits, where 55 percent of spending comes from luxury experiences rather physical goods. In addition, experiential luxury purchases grew 50 percent faster worldwide year over year than sales of luxury goods.
Jeff Domansky's insight:

There's a great quote in this article from Jean-Marc Bellaiche: “The industry has moved from ‘to have’ to ‘to be,’” he said. “To have or to own or to buy a product is now to be and to experience service and we believe that is a big trend." Marketers take note.
