According to The Accenture Interactive survey aimed at use of consumer shopping channels, 72 % of consumers, aged 20 to 40 in the United States and the United Kingdom, use mobile devices while in-store to compare prices, but the majority of the 2,000 surveyed leave before making a purchase. In addition, the survey shows that while consumers in this age group are concerned about online privacy, they will permit retailers to track their shopping behavior to personalize their shopping experience. Accenture Interactive surveyed 2,000 US and UK consumers via online survey to determine which shopping channels are used most frequently, how consumers move between channels, how social media influences purchasing decisions and the value consumers place on price, privacy and personalized shopping experiences. 52% of the consumers surveyed in each country believe that in-store prices are higher than online prices.
