Opening Keynote

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”

Speaker:

Jeff Simpson, director, Deloitte Consulting LLP

10:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.

Break

10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

The intersection of payments, retail, technology and marketing have never been hotter, with the best known and most coveted consumer brands pushing the boundaries of what, where and when we can purchase. Through unique data-driven consumer insights, this session will explore the zeitgeist of payments – social media payments, real-time transactions, Big Data, mobile and wearables – showing what is and what is not working and where the opportunities lie for the future of consumer transactions. The session will explore:

• Forecasts for mobile payment adoption, both online and at the point of sale

• New developments in real-time transactions and the implications for mobile payments

• International examples of best and worst practice in fusing mobile with payments

• Untapped opportunities in connecting the dots between industry stakeholders

Euromonitor: 5 Most Important Trends Impacting Mobile Commerce

• The arrival of smartphones to the masses has ushered in a new hyper-connected consumer, leaving numerous companies scrambling to develop long-term digital strategies that will enable them to compete in this new era. What companies need to do to remain competitive in this new digital era

• Tablets are the natural transition from the desktop or laptop commerce experience to the on-to-go shopping or payment experience that may eventually unfold on those smaller screens. Why has this tablet trend has been so prominent among developed-market consumers

• Increasingly, social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and Line have entered the mobile commerce battlefield. How social companies could drive future mobile commerce adoption

• Traditional payment behemoths such as Visa and MasterCard now find themselves competing against non-payments entrants in this fast-evolving and ever-expanding digital payments landscape. Should these non-payment players be considered advocates or adversaries of the established payment industry

BIA/Kelsey: Location-Based Mobile Advertising: Beyond the Hype
There is a rising tide of excitement and investment around location targeting in mobile marketing. But what do marketers mean when they say "location targeting?" The answer is different, depending on who is asked. This session will define the opportunity around location targeted mobile marketing, starting with the term itself. It will take a concrete data-driven approach, including case studies and illustrative examples of what is working and not working in location-based mobile marketing, including topics such as:

• Mobile usage data

• Mobile ad revenue forecasts

• Examples of location-based ad units

• Phone calls are the "new click"

• Difference between good location data and bad location data

• Mobile marketing attribution for offline conversions (“closing the loop")

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:

• Mobile POS: Nearly 300 percent more retailers plan to deploy mobile point of sale systems in the next two years

• Customer-facing mobile services: 165 percent more retailers plan to offer personalized recommendations via customer-facing mobile technology within three years

• Mobile payment: 350 percent more retailers plan to support NFC payments by October

Speaker:

Marty Whitmore, vice president, Boston Retail Partners
