A recent study conducted by Inmobi has suggested that people that use mobile shopping apps are more likely to visit brick and mortar stores. Users that had mobile apps visited physical stores 41% more frequently than people that did not have apps on their phone that were of this variety. Retail and QSR apps found that their users were the most likely out of the lot, with a 39% increase in how often they went to brick and mortar establishments.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that big box retailer and grocery app users also visited physical stores more frequently, with the increase being 24% and 25% respectively. This goes against the claim that mobile app based shopping would reduce the relevance of physical locations, and further stats from this study reveal that the developers behind these apps have a lot of opportunities to increase their footprint in lots of different ways.
43% of the people that responded to this survey said that they had never used an app that was made by a QSR.
