Deliver the best of online… at the point-of-retail
Right now consumers use mobile devices to help make purchase decisions while in a retail store. In fact, Motorola released a study recently indicating 51 percent of retail shoppers around the globe used their mobile devices in some capacity to help make a buying decision during the 2009 holiday shopping season. Consumers want the kind of specific and detailed information they find online – like user reviews and discounts – to help make informed purchase decisions. Shoppers intuitively know this information is available, but not accessible in a traditional retail setting. This great content should help shoppers make informed buying decisions at retail, and that is possible with the mobile Web.
