The Path to Purchase Is More Mobile than Ever
Key findings from a new consumer survey from xAd show that a majority of smartphone use occurs at home and that increasingly online purchases at home are made on smartphones. When consumers use their mobile devices on the go, 42% expect to make a purchase within an hour! In-store smartphone use has quadrupled, but this actually presents an opportunity for retailers as it drives in-store conversions.
Read highlights from the xAd Mobile Path to Purchase study.
