🔈 Most Common Smart Speaker Usage
People are doing plenty of things with voice commands on their #SmartSpeakers, but shopping isn’t really one of them. Only about a quarter to a third of U.S. smart speaker owners have ever purchased something using voice. Very few do so on a regular basis. An Information article this summer said just 2 percent of #Alexa owners had made a purchase via Alexa in 2018.

❓ Do you own a Smart Speaker, like Apple HomePod, Google Home, Amazon Echo, etc?
