Revealed: 81% Of Brits Still Use Their Desktop To Purchase Online
For the first time, smartphones have overtaken desktops and laptops as the desired choice for internet browsing in the UK. On average adults are spending up to 2 hours per day scrolling through the internet on their smartphones, so why are people still sceptical to purchase using their mobiles?
It’s likely consumers hesitate to make purchases on their smartphones due to concerns around privacy and security, leading to high cart abandonment rates.
Shopping using a smartphone is supposed to be easier but, in reality, leaves the user ambivalent to whether they are making the right choice.
