1. Researching and Buying Technology Products - UK - June 2013
Younger consumers are more likely than older consumers to shop across online and in-store channels. In the
years to come, as the 25-34s mature they are likely to keep these shopping habits, making a multichannel
approach the standard way to research and buy technology. This evolution of the technology shopper makes it
important that retailers and brands ensure full integration between their stores and their digital portals; an
holistic approach to retail channels, treating them as multiple paths to a brand that the consumer could travel
interchangeably, rather than separate pipelines with little to no crossover, will ultimately yield rewards.
