The Connected Shopper

As a result of the adoption of smartphones, social media and broader technological advancements coupled with the rise of Generation Y as a group of shoppers, the shopper path to purchase has fundamentally been reshaped.

Shopper behaviour too is fundamentally shifting. Media consumption and sources of brand influence are fragmenting as a result of technology, particularly social media and smartphones. The pace of change is set to accelerate and there are important implications and opportunities for brands.
