1 Title Here Accenture Mobile Consumer Survey 2011 RILA Sneak Preview: Multi-Channel in a Mobile World June 2011 Copyright Accenture, its logo, and High Performance Delivered are trademarks of Accenture.

2 Study Objectives Over the past 12 months, the rapid adoption of smartphones has given rise to a new, more empowered multi-channel consumer. At the same time, emerging mobile technologies such as location-based services, NFC, and mobile wallets are poised to radically alter the shopping experience, but may require significant investment and introduce new risks associated with data privacy. As many retailers begin to develop a mobile strategy, Accenture sought to build on previous research by gaining a better understanding of the new multichannel consumer landscape and the current and future mobile shopper, specifically: How do consumers use channels to shop and who is the Mobile Shopper? How do they shop across categories and channels today, and how is that likely to change? How will this influence and impact adoption of experience-enhancing technologies such as location-based services, NFC, and mobile wallets? 2

16 Preliminary Take-Aways Know your customers. Retailers need to understand which segments shop their stores, understand the needs and attitudes driving their behavior, and tailor a mobile solutions to meet those needs Invest with a customer focus. Next generation mobile capabilities have a higher degree of difficulty and risk when it comes to implementation, integration and operation. As such, it is critical to listen to the customer when developing a mobile strategy Think about education and incentives to drive adoption. While certain segments of consumers expect to increase their use of mobile and demonstrate strong interest in next generation mobile services, adoption of mobile coupons and payment will require awareness, education and motivation efforts in and out of the store to change long standing shopping behaviors 16
