In a similar survey conducted by Sybase 365 a year ago, only 32 percent of respondents said that mobile incentives would encourage them to make a purchase on their device.   In the absence of coupons, discount offers or other enticements, 56 percent of consumers surveyed said they would still be likely to use their mobile device for one of the following uses: to find a store location (38 percent), compare prices (34 percent), researching deals and coupons (28 percent), find a product review (27 percent) or make a purchase (22 percent).   Among the key areas where greater adoption inroads stand to be made is the availability of mobile commerce solutions from widely known, trusted channels. Asked which solution would encourage greater use of mobile payments for holiday shopping, one in four respondents (25 percent) reported that they would be more likely to make mobile payments if the solution was offered by their financial institution, while 22 percent would be persuaded by a solution such as PayPal, and 18 percent would be influenced by a solution from a credit card company.   Merchants are definitely stepping up their efforts to leverage the mobile channel, with 53 percent of respondents indicating they are aware of existing mobile campaigns from Target, Starbucks, Best Buy, Amazon.com, Apple or Groupon. ![Linc Wonham](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Linc%20Wohnam.jpeg) [Linc Wonham](https://www.websitemagazine.com/ecommerce/author/linc-wonham) I am a longtime content specialist with vast experience in ideating, creating and editing articles, infographics, books, ebooks, white papers, insights guides, corporate POVs, video scripts and more for omnichannel promotion and distribution on behalf of publishers, brands and creative agencies.
