What's The top 5 things you buy from your phone
Share on:

What's the top 5 things you already do/would purchase from your phone?

Just curious what you use your phone for on a daily or weekly basis to purchase. If you don't make purchases just give your top 5 things you think people purchase.

Personally, I really only buy two things on my phone - music and apps.

I don't think I've ever bought anything except for a couple of aps. I will do my banking with it, though.

Dont focus on closing sales with mobile unless you're in the content delivery market.

If you have a product you'd like to sell, get their email address and market to them through mobile, gather their interest and get their email address --- where you send them their cart.

I usually just buy apps and music on my phone. When I buy stuff online other than apps and music, it's usually from Amazon and I do that on my computer.

i've just started using iphone 4s, my first touchscreen smartphone (embarrasing hehehe), and first things I bought are apps, game apps in particular, i think moving forward i'll be doing much more online transactions, banking for instance, ebay/amazon purchases and such

Download Apps that's #1!

Sometimes I've done a few ebay purchases aswell and the occasional legal track is downloaded from a person I like to support

Here is a nice little info graphic from comScore research.

Flowers are something I forgot about but looking at the graph image above I'm surprised clothing was so high in %.

Don't know if Comscore results are accurate and target demographic nation wide but for most we buy apps and music. Clothing, tickets... ummm suspecious results.

Some people do buy other than digital goods but not that much.

Ahh this is a good one....

Obviously there are apps, paid and free, that I download on a regular basis as well as music.

But there is one app that has increased my spending through my phone 1000%.

The Amazon App.

I have Amazon Prime so free 2 day shipping on all items listed in Prime. Combine that with one touch check out and it's game over. =)

I like it because if I'm out shopping I can scan the barcode on whatever I need, compare the prices online, and read some reviews.

If it's cheaper on Amazon with free shipping and no sales tax, I'll buy. If it's a better deal in the store...I'll make the purchase there.

It's saved me literally hundreds if not thousands of dollars especially around Christmas time.

I buy lots of things on my phone.
Obviously apps and music but also eBay is high up there!
With my smart phone I also buy clothes, dvd's and video games.
In fact I hardly ever use my p.c.
I can even run my business through my phone!!!

I haven't purchased 5 things with my phone, yet. But I did just buy an Android tablet using my phone, PayPal and eBay. Does that help?

I've now bought several things using my phone but they have all been through eBay and payment with Paypal. The process is simple and works really well. The whole checkout and payment process is mobile optimized.
