As many retailers dawdle, consumers continue to change their shopping behaviors. They still head to stores to actually purchase, but they shop continuously on their devices. Smartphones aren’t replacing stores—they’re augmenting them. In 2015, for the first time, the majority of sales in stores will be influenced by digital media, according to Forrester Research.

Top devices used when researching a purchase decision:

 52% Consumer veiwership

Laptop or desktop
 60% higher overall likeability

Mobile phone
 78% more likely to want to learn more about a product

Tablet
 
 


A recent industry survey found only 5% of businesses said they have executed an omnichannel strategy, while 37% have yet to begin. ARE YOU ONE OF THE 37%?

The smartphone is the new hub of retail. The majority of US consumers shop with their phones. In most cases, mobile is the catalyst for sales.
