Mobile Wallets and the effects on Marketers

Mobile Wallet have become more and more popular.  I’ve been an IPhone user for so many years; I love the fact that I can use my phone for so many things in my life. Recently Apple Pay and Google Wallet have become more popular; there is more demand especially in the last year. Google Wallet offers the convenience of storing your bankcards, loyal cards, traveling tickets and more, additionally Google Wallet helps you organize all your tools. Forrester Research has conducted a research on Google Wallet and Apple Passport, according to their research “50% of adult smartphone users want to store their loyalty program points, rewards, coupons, offers and more in their mobile wallets.” The purpose of this research is to inform marketers of the opportunity to engage and connect with consumers. Since most of us use the phone to get information marketers would be able to push information through Mobile Wallets. Marketers have the ability to send reminders to consumers moreover they can trigger a reminder as you get closer to the store. I’m not sure if this good or bad. It may become overwhelming. As much as I appreciate my phone helping me find information and reminding me certain things I’m not sure if I’m ready to start receiving push notifications on my phone telling me to go inside a certain store just because I’m passing by.
