When it comes to examples of interactive grocery shopping, the name of the game is personalization. Personal shopping was once thought of as an elite option for high-paying customers. Technology and increased interest in interactive marketing strategies now allow that same level of customization to permeate your personal shopping for even the most mundane purchases, like your groceries.
Many of these interactive grocery shopping innovations even focus on discounts, such as paperless coupon apps, discount grocery apps, waste-reducing mobile discounts, discounted ingredient apps and personalized health food deals. The subscription or delivery model is also popular, as seen with on-demand delivery apps, rapid grocery delivery services and ingredient delivery services. Technological advancements allow for ideas like ingredient identifying displays, automated grocery shopping systems and QR-scanned shopping.
