The majority of smartphone owners have already received promotions on their smartphones. The media that is currently preferred by retailers is the SMS.
Local promotions and invitations to events are the most relevant kind of SMS marketing actions for smartshoppers.
When well done, consumers like them and act on it ! The most common actions are to search on mobile and to go to the stores ! It is then mandatory for Retailers to foresee a mobile interface for their website!
More than ever when knowing that consumers go to the stores after having received a mobile promotion buy and buy more than what they have been invited to!

When doing shopping, smartphone owners would rather use a mobile site to search for a promotion and to find a store.
The third reason is to find product information.
Some also like to compare prices, products or services.
It is interesting to note that ladies seems to be using more mobile sites than men!
![Page 28: How do shoppers use their smartphone as a shopping companion](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545b9c89b1af9f4a1d8b4df3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There is no point in comparing mobile sites and mobile Apps. Sites are most commonly used by mobile shoppers!
Retailers must focus on mobile sites first !
What is not in this study, but can be found over the web is that Apps will be most used when wanting to deepen the conversation with consumers through loyalty programs for instance.

Wikipedia:
“Showrooming is the act of examining merchandise in a Brick & Mortar retail store
without purchasing it there, then shopping online to find a lower price for the same item”
Thanks to mobile technologies, more and more showroomers also use this technique to find another store where to buy the same product but cheaper or a similar product cheaper.

Will you communicate more often about your shopping on social media in the future ?
In the future, this practice will become bigger and bigger! Retailers should be ready for it !

Social media sharing become more and more important in the life of consumers. They like to share what they do.
When you know that a consumer is 4 times more likely to buy a product from a brand/store whose Facebook page is liked by a friend, there is no reason why not to invest in it!
On your mobile sites and Apps, you should promote social media sharing !

A mobile loyalty card is a loyalty card stored on the customers smartphone.
Offering this type of service seems to be very interesting for consumers. But at the moment it doesn’t seems to be well used!

While it is not yet used by smartphone owners, there is a strong interest in such programs: the mobilization of loyalty cards.
Many initiatives already exist in this area. A new example is the passbook proposed by Apple: all the loyalty cards may be stored in the iPhone (more info here).
But the main problem we see in the market is the fact that the majority of Retailers are not able to read the screens of the smartphone with their current barcode readers !

Smartphones are not yet used as an extensive tool for post-purchase reasons. We see some potential in the cash-back part.
And it is interesting to note that non-smartphone owners would be the most interested target !

Conclusions : it is time to act !

From this study, Retailers should retain that more than half of their shoppers may have a smartphone in their pocket while shopping ! They are interested in getting more in touch with the retailers thanks to their smartphone.
What do they expect? The expectations are quite simple: get info about the 4 P’s (Products, Promotions, Places and Prices) and being able to share the word via the social networks.

Is there an opportunity to tackle?
Yes ! When you know that only 7% of the retailers have a mobile website*, there is some space for the first who will act !
Another opportunity is available in the mobile loyalty card… But some investments are necessary in the barcode readers.
