Mobile in Retail - Thematic Research

The Constantly Connected Consumer

Thanks to mobile technology, consumers are connected round-the-clock. Mobiles are being used to shop, bank, communicate through SMS, calls, emails and social media as well as to conduct research via the internet and make purchases.

Voice assistants such as Amazon Echo and Google Home are being used to control smart home technology and purchase items via the internet for example. Companies therefore need to be accessible via an increased number of digital touchpoints in order to tap into the connected consumer, stay top of mind and keep customers satisfied.
