IDC: Customer Reach and Relations in the Next-Gen Mobile App Era
Mobility is a pervasive and perhaps dominant condition from which consumers access the universe of digital content and services. For this reason, it is a primary design point when brands, marketers and retailers think about tactical and lifetime customer engagement. Mobility is a permanent condition, but it is also highly dynamic. In many ways it can be considered a complex extension of the Internet that has democratized the relationship between brands and consumers. The mobile application is now king, but what marketers can do within and between these ?containers? is changing radically. This session will focus on the evolution of mobile apps with the objective of helping marketers and retailers aim ahead of the coming changes. Key topics include: 

? Mechanics of the Inter-App Economy
? How will apps evolve to multiply engagement and transaction potential
? What devices and service platforms are most engaged by consumers, which are emerging, and at whose expense
? What are app developers thinking and doing and how does that help marketers
? The post-app engagement model

John Jackson, program vice president for mobility research, IDC

Deloitte Consulting: The New Digital Divide
As historically bricks-and-mortar retailers attempt to build their digital business, they continue to focus on, build and measure things that customers do not value, or more simply put, the wrong things. As a result, these retailers are steadily losing market share in sales, shopping and search. Consumers have not stopped going to stores, but digital has altered in-store behavior in three clear, irrefutable ways:

? It is not just about the Buy button                       
? Declining influence and inspiration                     
? Category and the ?mission-driven customer?

Jeff Simpson, director, Deloitte Consulting LLP

Boston Retail Partners: How Mobile Technology is Transforming the Customer Experience

Mobile devices have become ubiquitous in the lives of consumers, dramatically changing how they shop. Having a constant, virtually unlimited amount of information at their fingertips has changed consumers? shopping behavior and elevated their expectation for customer service. Consumers now use mobile devices to research products, compare prices, complete purchases online and increasingly to pay for in-store purchases. The proliferation of tablets and mobile phones has also created new opportunities for retailers to enhance customer service. Putting mobile devices in the hands of store associates enables inventory look-up enterprise-wide even for products not immediately available, supports the associate providing assistance to the customer on the selling floor and enables transaction processing anywhere in the store. This session will explore the findings from Boston Retail Partners? 16th Annual POS/Customer Engagement Benchmarking Survey and Mobile Technology: Transforming the Customer Experience special report which surveyed top North American retailers to understand the current trends in the industry, including:
