“I cannot emphasize the importance of mobile enough,” continued Grayson Carter, Inc.’s president. “It’s a trend that has held firm over the past few years, and it isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it impacts almost 90 percent of purchases throughout the holidays. If your website isn’t mobile friendly, it’s time to optimize now. Well over 100 million people in the U.S. will use their devices to make purchases, and even more will use their tablets and smartphones to research items they plan to purchase on-site.”

According to the firm’s president, the use of social media is also a pervasive holiday shopping trend. In one survey, 45 percent of Twitter users reported that they are more likely to consult the social platform regarding potential purchases than their own spouses. She indicated that business leaders should use their pages wisely, offering shopping tips and linking to landing pages.

“Despite the popularity of social media and mobile usage, it’s crucial not to forget about the value of on-site promotion,” the president concluded. “More than 90 percent of retail sales take place in brick-and-mortar stores. That’s largely where our interactive services come into play. We connect with shoppers, and learn about their needs in real time. Then we customize our outreach to meet their unique situations. We can attest that people appreciate this approach. It ensures that the brands we promote are memorable, and it keeps buyers coming back for more. It also facilitates conversation – consumers tell their friends and family about the products we promote, and you can’t go wrong with word of mouth. With this information in mind, it’s time for a record-breaking holiday season!”
