A report has now been published to reveal the results of a new study that has shown that tablet commerce continues to lead the way in overall mobile shopping and that iPads are making the biggest impact among consumers in terms of buying.

Even more, it showed that tablet commerce is producing far greater results than smartphone shopping.
Of all of the tablet commerce resulting from email marketing, 99 percent came from iPad versions of the device.
Among all of the mobile purchases that stemmed from marketing emails, 56 percent were from tablet commerce instead of from smartphones. As iPads make up the majority of that category, this indicates that those devices are having a massive impact on the results that email based mobile marketing is having on the return on investment of these brands and marketers.
The report also noted that while Android device are gaining a steadily larger share of the overall market for those devices, they do not appear to be growing their impact on the actual purchases made over tablet commerce, at least when it comes to making purchases based on emails that they have received.

Moreover, 82 percent of all of the emails that were opened and that lead to clickthrus were based on Apple devices. The report’s data showed that tablet commerce – especially fro iPads – is starting to become an important part of email marketing and online shopping as a whole.
