Mobile Commerce: Transforming the future of the retail industry
With the convergence of online and offline shopping, mobile commerce is fast replacing desktop-based ecommerce; in fact it is quickly taking over a massive portion of traditional retail shopping. Mobile commerce has empowered customers to a greater extent while giving retailers the opportunity to connect to more potential clients. No wonder, Mobile commerce or m-commerce is truly the future of retail industry and is having a telling effect on the way it will operate during coming years.
M-commerce: Revolutionizing the retail industry
Client management: A mobile device allows people (read customers) to access the Internet and all modern communication channels. A retailer thus finds it easy to put across information related to his products or services to a potential customer or existing ones too. Building customer relationships has become easier and more effective with the advent of m-commerce.
Personalization at its best: In the past few years, the retail industry has received a shot-in-its-arm with m-commerce coming to the forefront, and this is sure to notch up many more brownie points for the personalization it offers. Imagine getting a personal note from your favourite brand telling you about a new product or an oncoming sale or a new stock of your preferred product. A heightened customer experience is all that the retailer wants, and m-commerce has truly helped to address the related concerns to a great extent.
Customer data analysis: With the mobile being the modern customer’s preferred source of information and transaction, the retail industry has access to numerous data points. The retailer is able to understand a customer’s recent purchase history, transactions etc. which allows for a deeper analysis of customer preference and behaviour.
