- 34% use their mobile phones to research products in store (Forrester)
- Cross-channel shopping journeys involving mobile devices rose on average by 20% from last year (Cisco)
- More than a third of visits to online stores come from mobile phones and tablets (Custora)
- US mobile eCommerce is expected to hit $50 billion in sales this year (Custora)
