Best Practices for Mobile Retail Strategy. Mobile devices accompany consumers everywhere throughout a busy day. Through mobile initiatives, retailers have unique opportunities to engage with consumers as they move through each purchase phase—whether they’re in a store, in transit, at work or at home. Data from InsightExpress showed that during the holiday 2010 season, smartphone owners used their devices at different stages of the purchase funnel: to receive sale alerts (awareness), look for better prices and product reviews (consideration) and redeem coupons (conversion).
This gives retailers many opportunities to connect with consumers and encourage purchase and loyalty. “Forward-thinking retailers are devising mobile strategies to address each stage in the consumer purchase funnel—awareness, engagement, consideration, conversion and loyalty,” said Tobi Elkin, eMarketer writer/analyst and author of the new report “Mobile Web: Best Practices for Retailers.”
For many retailers, mobile remains a work in progress. Jumpscan - All in one QR code. OpenTable Seated 15.4 Million Diners in Q3 2010.

Facebook Launches New Mobile Site with No Data Fees. Facebook has just launched a fast new mobile version in order to expand its international reach. The new site, 0.Facebook.com, will be available in 45 countries through 50+ mobile and wireless network operators. It is a trimmed-down version of Facebook with most of the features of m.Facebook.com, including status updates, a newsfeed, Likes, wall posts and comments. 0.Facebook.com has a killer feature: Using it is free, regardless of data plan.
The world's largest social network got its 50+ launch partners to make 0.facebook.com a costless experience, except for photos. Operators such as T-Mobile, Digicel, Vodafone, and MTN all support the new Facebook initiative. Because of its partnership with mobile carriers, there are a few caveats. First, 0.Facebook.com is only available to people on networks and countries that support it. 0.Facebook.com reminds us of Facebook Lite, the company's first attempt to build a stripped-down version of its website.

Mobile Browser ID Strings (a.k.a. User Agent ID) The non-mobile stuff is here (hint: you get jerked back by the power cord after 3 feet and your arms start to ache after 10 minutes with non-mobile stuff) or click on any right menu link for the browser/section. We started these pages with four strings because we had never seen a comprehensive list anywhere.
Nominally RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 define them (get RFCs) but only as an afterthought (the RFCs define HTTP 1.0 and 1.1). Browser IDs, more correctly User Agent IDs, appear, among other places, as the environmental variable HTTP_USER_AGENT in Apache. You need this information to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment or to optimise the display or ... to know who and what is crawling around your site. And if you want to check your browser string use our cheap trick page.
