My hubby and myself were having a conversation and we started discussing about the future of online shopping. As some of you may be aware. people are going shopping for applications for their smartphones and iPad and this is just the beginning of a technology revolution that can affect online shopping in a big way.
For instance, I had bought three applications since I got my iPad. This is an addiction as more people are shopping in iTunes store for apps that can either increase their productivity or enhancing their lifestyle. Apps will be the future of virtual shopping. Many retailers have created apps for iPhones and iPad that can provide their tech savvy consumers the convenience of shopping from anywhere in the world. And, this is very powerful. Not only will they increase their sales, their company will grow in a tremendous way. I’m sure many of us will be using our smartphones to book hotels, shop for gifts or even compare cheap insurance without even turning on our computer or logging onto a browser. Experts say that apps can replace the browser in the future.
So if this is the true direction of online shopping, retailers and companies should start creating apps for the new generation of consumers.
