The phone has become our ticket, loyalty card, and catchall wallet.Networks are faster, phones are smarter, and the mobile shopper is ready to spend money now. What can a business do to maximize the mobile buying power of the new impulse consumer?

He'll explain: - How to minimize barriers between the shopper and a sale.- How marketers can connect and, more important, reconnect with loyal shoppers.- The technology available now--and what's coming soon--and how to pick a solution that will deliver results.But like "Blink "or "Freakonomics, "this isn't just a book for businesses.
