“The key for retailers is to understand how customers are using digital devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, to make decisions and shop,” said Deloitte Retail partner and national leader David White.

“Australian retailers are potentially underestimating the appetite of consumers for digital engagement through the end-to-end shopping journey.”
