WAR IN THE STORE - The Battle Over Mobile Shopper Marketing - Who will Win an... - 0 views

  •  
    "At stake is nothing less than the relationship with the consumer, a prize that retailers have only recently won and that they will not lose." Interesting premise. Basically that retailers are better positioned to meet the need of shoppers (agreed), and so will be able to control the real estate of apps that brands will once again have to buy time on. The winning scenarios are pitches as platform play vs. killer app that grows into a platform.

Retail's BIG Blog | Three tips for marketing to the mobile shopper - 0 views

  • A very small group are actually driving the majority of mobile shopping. In fact, that group – dubbed “heavy mobile users” by the speakers – generate ten times more shopping than “light users.” Whether it’s looking up a store’s location or accessing gift guides, the heavy users group has led the way. Nonetheless, the speakers warned, the future growth will come from light mobile users who will have a very different outlook.

    The indication that "heavy mobile users" are driving the majority of mobile shopping syncs with my observations. Yes, the big growth / blue ocean is the light users, but they are shown the way by these early adopters. What can you implement that is of interest to the early adopters?

8 reasons why proximity marketing will matter for retailers in 2011 | RetailCustomerExp... - 0 views

  •  
    1. Ideal for retail with pass-by-foot traffic 2. Bluetooth = no interaction through mobile carriers (I doubt this one - balanced vs. how many people have BT turned on) 3. Integrate with digital signage (assuming they have digital signage with round trip signaling) 4. Record devices (metrics / analytics!) 5. real time (again, assuming appropriate round trip metrics) 6. inexpensive vs. carrier messaging plus own the data (I guess they assume one-time hardware / software cost - again, doubtful; messaging as vs. carrier is interesting) 7. mobile messaging measurable (== bad experience with untargeted SMS messaging?) 8. ID and message thousands of phones (again, failure of SMS campaigns?)

  • According to RFID-Ready.com, Tagsys, a provider of item-level RFID infrastructure, has announced the introduction of FiTS (Fashion Item Tracking System), a commercial end-to-end supply chain system for the fashion and apparel retail industries.
  •  
    FiTS = "Fashion Item Tracking System" -- not really a standard, just a marketing term used by Tagsys as far as I can tell.

Phone-Wielding Shoppers Strike Fear Into Retailers - WSJ.com - 0 views

  • Until recently, retailers could reasonably assume that if they just lured shoppers to stores with enticing specials, the customers could be coaxed into buying more profitable stuff, too. Now, marketers must contend with shoppers who can use their smartphones inside stores to check whether the specials are really so special, and if the rest of the merchandise is reasonably priced. "The retailer's advantage has been eroded," says Greg Girard of consultancy IDC Retail Insights, which recently found that roughly 45% of customers with smartphones had used them to perform due diligence on a store's prices. "The four walls of the store have become porous."
