5 Mobile Shopper Behaviours Retailers Must Know About

The Mobile Shopper

The mobile shopper is a very different animal from the traditional online shopper.

Most people who purchase online will do so on a laptop, tablet or desktop, but they’ll do that from the home or office.

But the truly mobile shopper is the person who uses their smartphone while they are out and about, traveling, in the street, on the way to work, at lunch and so on.

This very mobility gives rise to a range of behaviours that differ from home or office-based online shoppers, and it’s this difference in behaviours that is the subject of this week’s Retail Buzz video.
