The consumer perspective on mCommerce Isis Nyong'o, Vice President & MD, Africa, InMobi, Kenya Currently data is lacking in the mobile ecosystem and we don’t fully understand the consumer and their usage, habits and sentiment around mobile commerce. After leveraging InMobi’s global network of over 194 million consumers in over 115 countries to research this issue in depth, this session will dive into the likes and dislikes around the mCommerce experience, usage incidence and trends of the brands, sites and Apps most commonly used. The research will include mCommerce behaviors by device and outline the demographic profile of mCommerce users. Finally and most important, the analysis helps link mobile advertising strategy to mobile commerce strategy for retailers and content players. Attendees will take away an understanding of how mobile compares to the PC web, will learn how consumers alter their purchasing behaviour due to the introduction of mCommerce, and finally understand how this all links to mobile advertising.
