What is M-Commerce?

Posted by admin on August 21, 2011 - 7:09 am

m-Commerce, not necessarily a new idea but a technology has come of age with the I-phone and other mobile devices that can do so many things and have so many applications that the potential is still untapped in many areas. Everywhere you look people are chatting, texting, browsing and surfing the internet on their mobile devices. The US consumer has embraced the technology for many things including shopping at their favorite online stores and making payments as well. As much as the US has embraced the technology Asia has proven to be even more receptive to conducting business on a mobile device. How about Western Europe, how are they fairing with embracing the technology of mobile devices?

The answer to that question is, not bad at all. Thirty three per cent of consumers in six European countries have used a mobile device for some kind of e-commerce service. Surveys have also shown that the online spending has increased with the use of a mobile device. In the countries of Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Sweden and France a survey showed that those consumers who are planning to use or using their mobile devices for m-Commerce 10% have already used a mobile device to do price comparisons and online shopping and 20% were planning to do this in the near future.

Any way you look at m-Commerce in Western Europe the trend is on the way up and consumers are embracing the idea of doing business through their mobile devices more each day. As the younger generation matures one would expect a big jump in transactions that take place on a mobile device because the youth of the world are used to using the devices and may not have done business any other way. It kind of like when your kids see a record album and ask “dad what’s that?”, because they have never see anything but a CD or get their music online. The kids don’t know any other way.

Whether you want to buy shoes, jewelry, Mopar Dodge Parts or Toyota Parts for your car you can do it from your mobile device. Most websites are now mobile device ready and if they aren’t yet they will be very soon. The mobile device has only shown the tip of the iceberg when it comes to its potential and each year new technologies will emerge that makes m-Commerce even more friendly and convenient for the consumer. You can already walk through a store and scan a bar code and immediately have more information on the item you scanned. You can get digital event and airline tickets with your mobile device as well.

When you think of how fast technology is changing the world and how fast people are adapting to the online retail world it’s no wonder that double digit increases in sales from year to year are occurring almost worldwide. Emerging technologies is taking us on an exciting ride and when you grandkids grow-up they’ll ask their dad, “what’s an I-phone?”
