63% of shoppers used multiple devices to help with their holiday purchases last year, finds Google in a holiday consumer survey conducted with Nielsen. Among the survey’s highlights, 2 in 3 also said that having access to multiple devices made it easier for them to shop, and half felt that access to those devices made them shop more frequently.
