A guest post by Eric Anderson of White Horse.
Armed with smartphones and a determination to change the way they buy, shoppers are storming retail aisles. On-the-fly comparison-shopping, scanning, and research are creating new ways for marketers to influence in-aisle buying behavior. But as smartphone usage in the United States reaches critical mass, retailers’ response must evolve rapidly.
We set out to identify the areas of greatest opportunity for retailers and CPG to develop a mobile experience strategy that aligns with changing mobile behavior. Our research included a 390-person survey of smartphone users, as well as “shopalongs” with smartphone shoppers in a range of retail environments. The infographic below excerpts six key findings from that study, which is available for download.
