Apptive and Shopify join forces to promote mobile commerce among merchants

Apptive, a mobile commerce and management platform, has announced that it has entered into a new partnership with Shopify, an e-commerce firm. Through this new partnership, the two organizations aim to make it easier for consumers to shop through Shopify with their mobile devices. Shopify has become quite popular with merchants that are working on developing a strong online presence. These merchants are finding that engaging with mobile consumers is becoming increasingly important as more people begin to shop exclusively from their smartphones and tablets.

The platform also allows these merchants to make changes to their applications in an efficient manner, providing consumers with new services quickly.

Merchants must adapt to changing consumer base

Merchants that do not take steps to engage mobile consumers could be missing out on a major opportunity. More people are beginning to rely heavily on their mobile devices in daily life. This means that people are shopping and purchasing products from their smartphones and tablets more regularly. Mobile consumers have shown that they are both willing and able to spend larger sums of money when shopping online. Merchants that do not engage these consumers may run the risk of losing their relevance with a changing demographic.

Consumers are becoming increasingly mobile

With smartphone and tablet devices becoming more common among consumers, retailers have had to change their engagement methods in order to ensure their continued relevancy. As such, many companies have come to take mobile commerce more seriously. Over the past three years, retailers have been dabbling in various mobile solutions that promise to boost their consumer engagement. Few of these solutions have managed to deliver on this promise, however, encouraging retailers to take matters into their own hands.
