Retailigence Heads to Mobile Marketing Association Forum in NYC
By Matthew Shevach
Some of the top innovators in mobile marketing will be converging at the MMA Forum in NYC this week to gather insights, perspectives and share real world examples about “Mobile’s Role in Closing the Loop Along the Path to Purchase.” I’ll be there along with Scott Mueller, an advisor to Retailigence and founding partner and manager of ShopChology. Scott will be speaking on a pre-conference workshop panel I’m looking forward to attending (May 8 at 9:30 AM) – “A 360 Degree View of Mobile Along the Path to Purchase.” The panel will provide valuable insights about how marketers can leverage mobile to generate awareness, strengthen your brand, trigger transactions, and enhance loyalty.
According to US census data, 75% of consumer spending occurs within 15 miles of the average American’s front door. Scott and others on the panel will be talking about mobile marketing strategies and tactics for both brands and retailers to capture a greater share of local consumer spending, much of which is influenced by online channels. (Forrester Research). This is the online-to-offline (O2O) opportunity brands and retailers can tap into with mobile marketing platforms like Retailigence that integrate mobile marketing with location technologies and product inventory data. Consumers online or on their mobile phones can now instantly find out where they can buy their favorite brand or products at the most convenient retailer that has the exact item in stock. These are just a few of the exciting topics speakers and participants at the MMA Forum will be discussing.
I’m also looking forward to the Opening Keynote on Day 1 (May 9 at 9:15 AM) by Trish Mueller, SVP and CMO from the Home Depot. It’s going to be a great forum that I’ll wrap up in a future blog post. Hope to see you there!
