Advances in technology are changing the way customers shop for and purchase products in-store. According to Nielsen’s Digital Global Shopping Report, 61% of Asia-Pacific respondents (including Australians) conducted household grocery shopping research online in the last year alone. Smartphones, in particular, have become an important pre-shopping tool for customers to conduct activities traditionally completed in-store.
Activities such as comparing prices and products, checking product availability, looking for coupons or specials, and reviewing product descriptions and nutritional information can be done before customers have even left their house. It is therefore imperative that retailers shift their strategic focus and harness new opportunities to serve their customers in ways that go beyond the traditional exchange of goods.
