The fashion industry found a new opportunity to reach out to the community of trendsetters when mobile apps became the new platform for shopping. Expanding business operations on the app market has been crucial across all sectors because of the digital age that we live in, but there’s much more to it for the fashion industry than just revenue generation.
Fashion is a form of expression that we want to share with others, and the best way to do it is by connecting virtually with the global community. The quickest way to build these links between buyers with brands and industry professionals is with the use of a smartphone. Studies from last July show in the UK alone, more than half of smartphone users searched for retailers using mobile sites and apps according to Mobile Marketing Magazine. With mobile internet currently being the most influential trend on the internet landscape, as described by the operators of mobile casino brand Pocketfruity, the most effective way to sustain the growth in fashion is through smartphone users.
