Mobile / smart phone, social and technologies are converging right now at a rapid pace.  As of January 2013 nearly 130 million Americans own smart phones.  It all started with the mobile phones, were now you can reach individual consumers on a person level to market your business and offer coupons and other incentives.  Those who hop on the mobile payments train early will not only find new customers, but will set themselves from the competition. 

Using smart phone technologies, sophisticated mobile apps are taking location based personalization to the next step.  For example some apps recognize individual devices and give customers offers based on frequency of visits and other loyalty-related data.  Others are building technology that traces consumer shopping habits to offer personalized recommendations and offers. Others can sync with your customer’s social media accounts to share offers to their friends.  This can help your business spread the word about deals and find new customers’ social networks.  Socially shared coupons can be a great way to spread excitement and brand awareness between friends online.  This is just the start and who know what the future holds for even better and more advanced than what is now available.
