Essex, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2012 -- Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have Internet access both at work and at home. Other establishments such as Internet cafes and schools provide access as well, and smart phone access is booming. Whereas in comparison, a visit to a conventional retail store requires travel and must take place during business hours. One major advantage of shopping online is being able to quickly seek out deals for items or services with many different vendors. Search engines, online price comparison services and discovery shopping engines can be used to look up sellers of a particular product or service.

According to The New York Times, "Mobile marketing is the most powerful advertising medium ever invented". What’s been driving this revolution is the tremendous growth in Smart Phone sales that run Android and the iPhone OS. A new market report from Transparency Market Research published this year, reported that Smart phone sales in 2011 hit 468.9 million units, a 66.7% increase over 2010 sales of 282 million units, and sales are expected to reach 1.05 billion in 2015.

Amazingly, the Pew Internet and American Life Project published in 2011 found that one third of American adults or 35% own smart phones. This study also found that smart phone owners are financially well-off and well-educated, with 59% of adults living in a household earning income of $75,000 or more, and 48% of those with a college degree. One of the questions Pew asked the respondents is what device they normally use to access the internet, and 25% of smart phone owners said that they mostly go online using their phone, rather than with a computer.
