Will More Shoppers Buy via Mobile Devices This Year? (Holiday Shopping / Black Friday Info Graphic)

The biggest mistake any retailer can make this year is not having an online presence with their store, and more specifically, not having a mobile store where mobile shoppers can buy your products during this year’s holiday and Black Friday shopping season.

As you can see in the info graph below, the number of shoppers this year during the holiday shopping season and Black Friday, is up over 4% this year compared to last year.  That equates to nearly $586.1 billion dollars being spent during the 2012 holiday and Black Friday shopping season.

One of the more impressive stats I see when it comes to holiday shopping via mobile phones is that nearly 47% of shoppers consider their mobile device a vital tool in their holiday and Black Friday shopping AND spend over $800 this holiday and Black Friday shopping season.

Here’s how shoppers will spend their money and buy gifts during the 2012 holiday & Black Friday shopping season:

RadioShack offering Nexus 7 32GB for $230

If you want to take a quick $2o off your Nexus 7 32GB you might want to consider it buying from RadioShack instead of the Google Play Store. The retailer is offering the device for $250 — that’s Google’s price, too. But Google isn’t offering this cool coupon code that’ll take $20 off any order of $125 or more.

This deal effectively brings the price down to $230, and while that’s not a terribly steep door-busting deal it should prove helpful for those who want to offset tax or shipping chargers they might otherwise accrue.

The Nexus 7 32GB should be quite the awesome device with its Tegra 3 chipset and completely stock, pure Android. But many were vexed to find out that there is no room for expandable storage. For most, 8GB isn’t enough, and 16GB is just barely acceptable. This new 32GB option was a must, and Google bringing it in at the the 16GB model’s original price tag means the Nexus 7 has gone back onto a lot of people’s radars and wishlists.

Unfortunately the device appears to be out of stock as of the time of this writing, and we expected that considering many people are likely to jump at a juicy deal like this without delay. But keep an eye on it and see if it doesn’t pick back up over the course of the week. You’ll want to keep coupon code RMN20 handy if you want to take advantage.

32GB Nexus 7 in stock at Walmart for $249, 16GB model now $199

Although the Google event scheduled for this morning has been delayed as Hurricane Sandy bears downs on the East Coast, at least one retailer is going ahead with a refresh of their Nexus portfolio. Walmart’s website now lists the new 32GB Nexus 7 as in stock and features a price drop for the 16GB model. The 8GB Nexus 7 is no longer shown for sale.

The 32GB model comes in at the expected price point of $249, but perhaps the bigger news is that the 16GB model has dropped to $199, replacing the 8GB model at that price. It is unclear if Google plans to continue sales of the smallest storage option with a similar price cut as the 16GB model or if that device will be discontinued. Not present on the retailer’s site is the rumored 3G Nexus 7, which was also to be unveiled this morning at the New York City press event.

Google’s Play Store now lists both the 8GB and 16GB Nexus 7 as “coming soon” rather than on sale, a sign that a refresh should soon occur. It was expected that the tech giant would introduce a refreshed tablet lineup today that included the 32GB Nexus 7 along with a new Nexus 10 tablet developed by Samsung. The star of the show, however, would have been the LG Nexus 4, the next addition to the lineup of pure Google smartphones.

Google may still proceed with the rollout of the new Nexus 7 products today, but we are awaiting word from the company about plans to reschedule their Nexus event.

[Thanks, TLC!]
