The rapid growth of tablet and smartphone ownership has led to an explosion in mCommerce (and tCommerce or tablet commerce). The Consumer Electronics Association reported in early April that 37% of smartphone and tablet owners are engaging in some form of mobile commerce and, on average, they spent over $642 on mobile purchases in the last 12 months, totaling over $124 billion. Because of the rapid growth in mCommerce over the last year, companies are investigating ways to improve the mobile shopping experience (for both in-store and remote shopping), from innovative retail environments to offering new shopping services and apps that go beyond price checking.
We’re launching this mini survey to understand what you think mobile devices can do to help you shop better and lead you to new experiences.
