Convenience Drives Growth
“Convenience tops the list of m-commerce benefits for purchasers. They choose to shop anytime, from anywhere that offers their mobile network or internet connectivity. For retailers, m-commerce offers an incredible growth opportunity. Indeed, Statista projects that global mobile purchases will exceed $3.56 trillion for 2021.”
Accuracy, Security and Legality of Mobile Data a Challenge
-
- “Redundant, Fraudulent, or Inaccurate Data. A consumer may interact with a business from multiple devices, often creating duplicate accounts. Moreover, mobile devices increase the risk of “click spam” (fraud) and “slips” (accidental clicks), which cloud marketing metrics.”
-
- “Mismanaged Data. Mobile devices deliver a swarm of data points with the potential to inform business strategy and marketing. However, data analysts must be able to interpret the data with appropriate context to gain value from it. Mismanaged data offers no value and often creates a hefty liability.”
- “Data Security Risks. The information collected often includes real-time customer location data. Phishing attacks also leverage buyer “slips” and social engineering to drive unintentional clicks on phishing links. Thus, retail cyber security requires increased attention and resources.”
