Shoppers rely on their mobile devices to help them navigate their shopping journey, whether that means researching products online, browsing in-store, comparing prices, or looking for a brick-and-mortar store to make their final purchase. With over 6 billion smartphone users across the globe, the importance of a mobile-first approach and bridging the gap between digital to in-store is critical to retailer success.
