For Information Throughout The Shopping Process

New York, NY – May, 2015 - Scanbuy, Inc., the world leader in providing mobile relationship management solutions, today released its quarterly trend report that summarizes consumer shopping activity during the first three months of 2015. With 22 million engagements generated during the quarter, consumers used mobile devices to bargain shop, get reviews and access information throughout all stages of their shopping experience.   

The family budget was a strong driver of engagement activity last quarter, with value shopping coming in as the top area of interest from both iOS and Android users.  Codes providing product information received the highest number of scans, as consumers used their mobile devices to gain valuable access to reviews, updates and real-time comparisons across a variety of brands.

The quarterly report confirmed the global appeal of mobile shopping, with the highest activity recorded in United States, Spain, France, Denmark, and Brazil. While scanning was popular with both genders, males generated the highest percentage of engagements across all age groups except those under 18. Some other notable statistics from the report include the following:

Males were responsible for 59% of overall scanning activity
