Tablets play a slightly different role, primarily

used at home for leisurely browsing and

online shopping activities.

Tablets play a slightly different role

Smartphones are used throughout the day and play a key role in making real-time purchase decisions that happen in the store or, most often later online. Purchases on smartphones are increasing but still outpaced by tablets and desktop.

Tablets, on the other hand, see peak usage during leisure hours and represent greater engagement with site content as well as more frequent and bigger ticket purchases, hence the term couch commerce.

"Tablets surpassing portables in 2013, and total PCs in 2015, marks a significant change in

consumer attitudes about computer devices and the

applications and ecosystems that power them.”

- Ryan Reith, Program Manager for IDC's Mobility Trackers

Pew surveyed 2,252 U.S. adults, and found that

34% owned a tablet, up from:

– 18% in 2012

– 8% in 2011

– 3% in 2010

Adults ages 35 to 44 own tablets at a higher rate

than any other age category

Responsive Web Design

A customer’s mobile context consists of:

– Preferences: the history and personal decisions the customer has shared with you or with his social networks

– Attitudes: the feelings or emotions implied by the customer’s actions and logistics

– Situation: the current location, altitude, environmental conditions and speed the customer is experiencing

The Role of Mobile in Retail

Mobile has a greater impact on indirect commerce (in-store use) while tablets play a deeper role in research and direct commerce.

Smartphones play a pivotal role in the shopping process

40% of US consumers report using their devices for showrooming, the process of shopping for a better deal or product online while in-store.

For CPG brands, smartphone-optimized .com content (brand site, microsites, landing pages) is essential to capturing the attention and intent of these consumers, particularly at point of sale.

Showrooming, while unsettling for retailers, provides excellent insight into crafting mobile experiences

Use of mobile in showrooming

To ask my friends or family what they would recommend buying

The Role of Mobile in Omnichannel

Retailers Lag Behind Consumers’ Omnichannel Desires

• Retailers have to overcome a variety of hurdles to create an omnichannel experience, while have customers have already made the leap. Consumers still make most purchases in a physical store, but they’re hopping from device to device as they gather product information and recommendations before leaving home. Even while in a physical store, many augment their shopping by looking for information via mobile devices.

• More than any other technology, smartphones and tablets are changing the shopping experience for consumers, letting them bridge the online and offline experience—even when stores fail to make it easy for them to do so. “Consumers are a couple of steps ahead of the brand,” said Tony King, founder of luxury retail consultancy King & Partners. “People will check something seven or eight times online before they actually buy … [using] several devices. They are experiencing the brand across all those different channels.”
