HOLIDAY SEASON SPECIAL In-Store Media Cross Media Optimizing a Last Mile Marketing Strategy Integrated with Mobile and a Brick 'n Mortar Retailer    Over 75% of users with smartphones do price checks on their mobile device before purchase. Not only do in-store mobile apps play a major role in engagement, offers and location based advertising, so does traditional marketing techniques such as SMS, QR codes and the emerging areas of integrated NFC marketing and the mobile wallet.   The holy grail for retail marketers has been to best enable that last-minute shopping decision with the traditional methods of merchandising now being disrupted with mobile online shops instead of the typical check-out processes. Mobile has led to the opportunity to not only get that “impulsive buy” via 1-click buy and carry or home delivery, but offers an array of opportunities around mCRM.  Mobile will have a major role to play moving forward in the overall brand marketing in-store strategy. For this holiday special MXM we will bring such brands to share that story in an amazing venue along 5th Avenue and 34th street- The Empire State Building.
