Smartphone conversion sources

• 62% of smartphone conversions came from an email
• 21% referral link to a website
• 12% that were direct visits

Possibly 5% share attributed to search may be understated due to Google’s “obfuscation” of search terms the company admits.

Consumer behavior is changing with technology. Consumers have adapted an "always on" mentality when it comes to shopping. Mobile and tablet has helped ecommerce organizations immensely.  Ecommerce is growing, and poses a threat to retailers. A recent survey found 27% of shoppers made their last purchase online--double the number from the previous year.
