A recent MediaPost Mobile Insider article by Steve Smith makes the bold statement, “friendly reminder to retailers: Your customers are way, way ahead of you when it comes to using mobile as a resource.”
As someone who regularly works in the Mobile space to help clients develop and implement their mobile strategies, I have to say, he’s quite correct. Study after study indicates that consumers are heavily embracing the use of mobile technology, and are interested in being able to utilize their mobile devices to find convenience and improve the productivity of their lives. As more and more demands are made on their time, consumers are seeking ways to engage with retailers in ways that are convenient for them; chief among those methods of engagement is mobile.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of retailers – large and small – have yet to catch on. However, this month’s featured mobile program by Marks & Spencer shows that some retailers do “get it”, and those that do will definitely be able to take advantage of this growing trend in consumer preferences for doing business with their favorite retailers.
