According to research from the IBM Institute for Business Value and the National Retail Federation , 71% of consumers shop in “micromoments”—whenever the impulse strikes—and often while they are doing something else, such as taking a break from a work project, eating lunch or even running on a treadmill.

Another reason why retail businesses lose customers is the inability to consistently meet their needs.
