Barclaycard US: How Mobile Payments Will Shape Holiday 2011 for Retail

The second Mobile Marketing Summit will be held Thursday, Sept. 8 in New York at the National Museum of the American Indian, a Beaux Arts Smithsonian museum in downtown Manhattan. Targeting senior executives and decision-makers at brands, ad agencies, publishers, retailers and service providers, the summit is the leading holiday mobile marketing conference. (Conference agenda below write-up.)

?With four out of ten subscribers nationwide using Web- and app-enabled mobile phones, brands and retailers can expect some surprises this holiday season,? said Mickey Alam Khan, editor in chief of Mobile Marketer and Mobile Commerce Daily.

?As this event and its speakers will explain, consumers are trained now not only to expect their favorite brands to have a mobile presence, but also some element of mobile sophistication ? shopping, inventory search, price comparison, social chat, store location and buying capabilities,? he said. ?Given that mindset, it?s only fitting that holiday mobile marketing is tailored to driving transactions on device and in-store. To sit this one out is leaving money on the table.?

The New York summit is limited to around 200 executives on a first-come, first-served basis.
