Webinar on Sept. 24: Last-minute tips for effective 2015 holiday mobile marketing

While most brands and retailers already have their holiday mobile strategy and tactics in place, marketers need to take one last look at the ever-changing mobile landscape to ensure effective branding and customer acquisition and retention throughout the holidays. Mobile marketers should also look into leveraging location-based mobile advertising for driving incremental traffic to their stores.

With a consumer base that uses smartphones and tablets for nearly every aspect of life and has come to possess a here-and-now attitude, marketers need to address mobile with a no-holds-barred approach this holiday season.

“This holiday season will be yet another litmus test for marketers and retailers to prove that they understand how consumer shopping behavior over the holidays is evolving,” said Mickey Alam Khan, editor in chief of Mobile Marketer and Mobile Commerce Daily, New York. “Mobile has become a stand-in word for convenience, its chief feature being instant gratification. Not understanding this shift in thinking could cost marketers big this year.”

This hour-long webinar on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET will offer expert advice on last-minute tweaks to mobile efforts that can really drive a marketer’s bottom-line.
