85% Use Smartphones in Stores, 55% Changed How They Shop

85% Use Smartphones in Stores, 55% Changed How They Shop | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Most consumers (85%) globally say that they have used their smartphone in-store, according to the DigitasLBi Connected Commerce study.


This is an increase from 72% just a year ago.


And it’s not only using a smartphone in a store but the rather the impact it’s having.


The majority (55%) of smartphone users say the Internet and smartphones have changed the way they shop in a store.


Perhaps more significantly, 77% of Internet users have been influenced by mobile during the purchase process....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

While most consumers still prefer to shop in physical stores, the smartphone has increasingly become an integral part of in-store behavior. This post by Chuck Martin at MediaPost is critical insight for online and offline retailers. Highly recommended. 10/10

Wall Street Journal Explores How Retailers Should Use Discounts | AgilOne | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

We worked with Shelly Banjo from the Wall Street Journal on a piece about how retailers should use discounts. The Wall Street Journal added a piece of consumer research to accompany the article that was very interesting.


They asked what email headline would get consumers to open an email from a retailer.


Consumers agreed that they are most likely to respond to an email that is advertising a specific (read: relevant) item on sale, not to generic  discounts....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Valuable consumer insight for retail marketers, social marketers and PR.

Sandeep Londhe's curator insight, January 8, 2015 7:25 AM

Consumers respond to an email that is advertising a specific (relevant to them) item on sale, not to generic discounts.

 

Even a modest discount will get a shopper to buy, as long as it is for the right product.

 

Retailers who differentiate discounts on a shopper-by-shopper basis will experience twenty percent greater profits.

 

75% of consumers demand some form of personalization by retailers.

 

Delivering value means delivering the highest relevancy, not necessarily the highest discounts.
