Mobile Apps: The Future of Retail

The rise and rise of the smartphone has altered the retail landscape beyond recognition over the past few years. According to figures released by App Annie, the first half of 2018 saw the biggest biannual growth period for shopping apps, with a massive 2bn apps downloaded.

Perhaps the oldest retail adage is 'the customer must come first' and this is still just as true for online businesses as for more traditional brick and mortar stores. Research repeatedly shows that customer experience plays a crucial role in engagement; this is true regardless of the channel of communication. Mobile apps allow a business to get closer to the customer than ever before.

Modern retailers need a mobile app, it's as simple as that. The retail landscape continues to become more competitive, as new, digital-native and mobile-savvy entrants emerge every day.
