It is no secret that mobile shopping is the newest ecommerce trend. According to a recent stat by Forrester Research, 16% of consumers purchased via their mobile device over last year’s Thanksgiving Weekend. What you may not know is how companies are capitalizing on this latest trend. It wasn’t very long ago that most people would never think of shopping, doing their taxes, etc with their mobile device. The sheer amount of information now available at your fingertips or should I say on your smart phone is truly amazing. Now there are mobile companies out there that can not only tell you where to get the lowest price but when you should make the purchase! Yes, you heard that right. Don’t ask me how this technology works but let’s just say there are companies out there that have built some incredible algorithms.
Decide (decide.com) is one of those companies that are taking Mobile shopping to the next level. Their company mission is to be a service dedicated to helping consumers buy electronics with no regrets. Their mission sounds simple but the technology behind it is anything but. The free app that is available for both the iPhone and Android phones helps you decide when to buy. Decide advises you to buy or wait depending on their proprietary price and model predictions. They state that their predictions are right 77% of the time. Here is how it operates on your smart phone: when you are in a store, you would scan the UPC barcode on the product and the Decide App will then give you a green “thumbs up” saying you should buy or it will give you a red “hand” telling you to wait and purchase later. They also have the ability to send you alerts on future product purchases so you can be alerted about price changes, product releases or even rumors!
In this economy more than ever consumers are looking for ways of saving money and this is just one potential ways companies are helping consumers do just that. Go here to download their free app: http://www.decide.com/mobile
