Mobile commerce to find more success in Peru this year

Mobile commerce could become a major boon for companies in Peru. SafetyPay Peru believes that the rise of mobile commerce could lead to a 15% increase in sales for companies that work to engage those with smartphones, tablets, and other devices. Device penetration has made consumers more mobile-centric and companies may have to follow suit in order to find continued success in the coming years. These companies will, of course, have to overcome potential security issues in order to effectively serve mobile consumers.

Consumers are becoming more confident in the security and services of companies participating in the mobile commerce space

In Peru, more consumers are beginning to participate in mobile commerce. This is due to growing confidence that consumers have in platforms that allow them to shop for and purchase products with their mobile devices. In the past, security concerns had lead many consumers to avoid mobile shopping. Companies offering mobile commerce services have worked to make their solutions more secure in order to protect consumer information. This has lead to consumers becoming more confident in the mobile sector, which comes with a willingness to purchase products through shopping platforms.

Retailers will have to become more comfortable with mobile technology in order to connect with consumers

Retailers may have trouble engaging mobile consumers because they are not well versed in mobile technology. Many retailers focus on traditional channels in order to connect with consumers, but they are beginning to feel pressure to become more mobile-centric. One way retailers are trying to connect with consumers is through offering them special deals if they make purchases through a mobile device.

Mobile commerce to see significant growth in the near future

Peru is expected to see a major increase in mobile commerce activity in the coming months. More companies are likely to bring their mobile payment services and other solutions to the country in order to find success in the thriving mobile space. Mobile commerce still faces significant challenges, but companies are likely to overcome these challenges and make the sector more valuable in the near future.

Whether you’re headed to Mardi Gras or another festival or attraction, wearables can help find children in a crowd.

Although wearable technology has been primarily focused on issues such as health and fitness tracking as well as call and text alerts, it is now being speculated that these devices might also become very popular among parents who want to make sure their kids can find their way back again if they should wander off in a crowd.

This is good news for parents who will be bringing little ones to the Mardi Gras celebrations, this year.

That said, wearable technology’s benefit for helping scared and lost children to find their parents, once again, is hardly limited to the Carnival season. As events start to become more common over the spring and summer, the need to keep track of kids and to give them a way to be safely returned to parents will only become more important. In this way, parents will not only be able to keep track of event locations, concert schedules, parade routes, and festival maps, but they’ll also bring young ones back to parents again.

This use for wearable technology will be important for helping families to keep calm and to stick together.

While many events – including Mardi Gras – are designed to be exceptionally family friendly, when such a large number of people are all milling about in the same location, it takes only a split second before family members can become separated from each other. Moreover, it takes only a few feet of distance before another person can become impossible to see from among all the rest of the people in the crowd, particularly with so many other distracting, colorful and exciting things going on all around. Parents are now using wearables to make it possible for little ones to send an alert to the smartphones of their parents when they’re lost or scared, without having to find a phone of their own.

This is being accomplished through gadgets such as the GizmoPal 2, which is made by LG and that runs on the Verizon network. It employs GPS and wearable technology that will allow children press a button to access two-way communication with their parents.
