Mobile apps: how is m-commerce changing the retail game?


As advanced in a previous article, the success of mobile apps depends on several factors. One of them is customer experience. This was demonstrated by Starbucks.

The coffee chain decided to do things differently when they decided to develop the app all be themselves. Moreover, the success of its application inspired several retailers. It showed how app value and experience can bring more clients into a particular retailer’s mobile ecosystem.

Payments are also an important part of m-commerce. If a buyer offers the option to ‘pay’ alongside with other incentives within the app, they are more likely to see an increase in downloads. A research showed that nearly 46 percent of those utilising digital systems would be interested in downloading frequently-visited merchants’ applications and utilising them to make payments if this would allow them to not to wait in checkout lines at brick-and-mortar stores. Only 36 percent install apps just as they are. This is because consumers do not like experiences that are filled with friction.

Experts advance that the future will see many more apps that aim to facilitate transactions. Moreover, the implementation of technologies such as voice-assistants will further enhance the mobile commerce sector. There have been several developments in this sector and consumers are very interested in these features.
