BRP Consulting recently determined five key ways that mobile devices are impacting the retail experience: customer identification, customer engagement, associate training and task management, mobile POS, and mobile payment. For McLean, VA <a href=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/vending.php\">vending<\/a> providers, the ability to make a mobile payment is something that cannot be ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to The Pew Charitable Trusts\u2019 May 2016 report, 55% of the United States\u2019 population was mobile payment users. 72% of those users fell into the Millennial or Gen X generations. While Millennials and Gen Xers enjoy the rewards, discounts, alerts, and electronic receipts that mobile payment solutions offer, they, 74% of Millennials and 70% of Gen Xers, are also very concerned about the risk of identity theft and loss of funds that might come with using mobile payment options. This block to using mobile payments results from a lack of understanding if mobile payments are faster, safer, or easier to use than traditional payment methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-133\" src=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AdobeStock_127573717-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile Payments in McLean, VA\" width=\"370\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AdobeStock_127573717-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AdobeStock_127573717-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AdobeStock_127573717-1024x678.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/>For mobile payments to be successful in the long run, there must be additional McLean, VA consumer education about:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the length and ease of a transaction using a mobile device as compared to a traditional transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">how loyalty rewards programs can be tied to a mobile wallet, and how that can improve the overall shopping experience &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the enhanced security features and faster checkout that mobile wallets offer<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consumer education about using mobile payment systems does not need to be long and drawn out. A recent USA Technologies study found \u201cthat call-to-action messages [on vending machines] underscoring speed, convenience and security of Apple Pay can act as an electronic gateway for consumers to learn about and use the mobile wallets already installed on their phones.\u201d Not only did this information educate consumers, but it also increased mobile payment usage by 135.2% and increased overall sales by 36.5%. Knowledge really does make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Offering McLean, VA employees the option of using mobile payments to purchase a <a href=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/healthy.php\">healthy snack or beverage<\/a> in the office break room not only educates them about mobile payments, but it also gives them an alternative way to purchase a much-needed snack or <a href=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/beverages.php\">beverage<\/a>.
