Thinking about how you make purchases on your mobile phone in general,
which of the following best describes your use of app versus browser?
Apps dominate for
shopping

Considerations
› Significant, loyal user bases are conducive to proprietary apps
› Store associates can be one of those user bases; monitoring activities and
providing customer information can be valuable use cases for stores
› Unique functionality needed for specific events or activities are well-suited for
apps
› Accuracy of data, real-time context and constantly refreshed information are
essential for making apps useful
› Speed of retrieving information can be a key value for retail apps
› Richer engagement can happen in-app; better data comes from app usage
› Businesses targeting younger shoppers are likely to benefit more with apps
