A panel of retail and mobile technology providers and strategists on Tuesday highlighted some of the ways that brick-and-mortar stores are employing mobile to keep customers coming back, and the challenges they face integrating mobile in each phase of the path to purchase.
Speaking at MediaPost's Mobile Insider conference, Alistair Goodman, CEO of location-based marketing firm Placecast, pointed out that location technologies from geofencing to the more recent launch of in-store location systems like Apple's iBeacon make it easier than ever for retailers to track their customers. But that's only half the battle.
"What do you do once you know they're there?" he asked. What's the relevancy -- what's the data you apply on top of location in order to deliver something that the consumer is going to find valuable, not intrusive? That's the objective that we're all after."
For Catalina Marketing, the goal has long been to get grocery store customers to buy more stuff by giving them a scanning device -- and now an app -- to scan items with their own phone as they shop. Then go to self-checkout lane to pay. Through its Scan It product, the company can provide customers with a bank of personalized offers based on their purchase history, said John Caron, Catalina's vice president of marketing.
"It drives an incredible amount of loyalty," he said, pointing to a 6% to 8% increase in the average customer basket total. But he acknowledged that integrating mobile technology with physical stores is still "really, really hard," because it requires a combination of human oversight and behavioral tracking to pick up on any suspicious patterns that might indicate someone is using the system to shoplift.
Still, as people increasingly focus on their phones screens instead of what's immediately around them, Caron argued that it makes sense for retailers to use mobile, ironically, for direct interaction with customers. "We already have blinders on in the store," he said.
When it comes to car shopping, mobile has become an especially crucial platform for prospective buyers, noted Kayla Green, digital strategy director for Saatchi & Saatchi LA., who works closely with Toyota. She explained that the number of informational "touchpoints" car buyers go through during the purchase process has gone from eight to 22 in the last few years.
"Why is that happening? Because people have access to information on their devices at any time," she said, adding that the use of mobile has increased five times in the car shopping process in the last year. As a result, the auto shopping window has contracted from three to six months to six weeks to three months.
While tapping into growing mobile usage, and the ability to target customers in the physical world, panelists also emphasized the importance of an opt-in approach and not being overly intrusive. "Where push really crosses the line is where your incorporating highly personal data, when you haven't got permission -- then you lose the consumer," said Goodman.
Like ScanIt, he indicated that Placecast's system learns what shoppers' preferences are over time and sends offers accordingly on an opt-in basis. "After six months, consumers in our program start expecting offers based on location, and come to understand the system is learning the things that they like," he said.
Not everyone believes marketers need to be so careful about alienating mobile shoppers.
Adam Guy, senior vice president, business development at Millward Brown Digital, suggested there is room to elbow onto the mobile. "What are you really interrupting, anyway?" he said.
"I would love to see us be willing to offend a consumer by giving them information about something they may not realize they need to know."
To get a better idea of what mobile consumers are doing, he said Millward Brown is building up a panel to track consumer habits on smartphones and tablets as it already does on a wider scale online. That includes what apps or mobile sites people frequent as well as how they shop on devices.

Fiber optics called key to recruitment
The Gothenburg Improvement Company is calling on the community to complete a survey about the need for fiber optic technology.
Surveys will be included in the April utility bills.
Nate Wyatt, chair of the Gothenburg Improvement Company's fiber infrastructure committee, said Internet, telephone and television service could be provided from a single fiber and single provider to businesses and residents.
Faster Internet speed, more bandwidth for more devices and more would be available with the technology, he said.
Noting that neighboring communities have fiber infrastructure, Wyatt said it's key to business and industry recruitment.
"Without it, we have a difficult time recruiting people and businesses," he said.
A company is willing to install fiber infrastructure in Gothenburg, he said, but someone is needed to operate the technology.
Wyatt said the surveys will show prospective operators that the technology is wanted and needed in Gothenburg.
Wyatt said some local businesses are utilizing fiber optics, like Gothenburg Memorial Hospital, and the faster dissemination of information is amazing.
For example, he said utilizing fiber optics may mean times when patients don't have to drive to see doctors out of town..

Barbie Care and Share 2008
Kay Wolverton Ito combines her interest in Barbies with charitable giving, adds a recycling element, and the results are the third year of what she calls Barbie Care and Share.
Over the last two years, she has spearheaded an effort to donate new and gently used Barbie fashion dolls, adding some clothing and accessories. To date nearly 300 dolls have been donated to local agencies serving children such as Casa Pacifica and Aspiranet.
This year, Ito is again organizing Barbie Care and Share with friends and family to donate Barbies, clothing, and accessories to needy children at various agencies. Each doll will come with its own cloth carrying bag.
Anyone interested in donating gently used dolls (no Bratz brand dolls, please), clothing, or accessories can reach Ito at 482-4560 or email@example.com. The dolls must be in good condition, of course, with no chewed body parts or cut hair. Ito also needs help sewing the dozens of bags that are needed to package the dolls.
Last year's Barbie Care and Share was a community effort, with a Girl Scout troop and other children helping to clean, dress, and package the dolls donated by generous citizens around the county. Ito is looking forward to another positive response this year and welcomes help with this rewarding project.

LOL borrow a coffee pot. That is awesome. I have 2 coffee pots, 2 french presses, an espresso machine, a travel mug with a built in french press, a finjan (probably misspelled but a turkish coffee pot), and two jars of instant coffee. Yeah, I might need to cut back a bit. THat said, I only drink about 1/3 of the coffee I used to drink. I am also beginning to see why I have no counter space.
somehow I manage to leave my intelligence and decorum at the door wherever I go. I doubt your journal will be an exception to that - not on the rug

If this series has been a show of trust on Yusuf Pathan by the captain, this game could be the beginning of Irfan Pathan's second innings
Sriram Veera in Colombo
February 10, 2009
India needed 57 runs from 29 deliveries when Irfan Pathan joined his brother Yusuf in the middle. Yusuf, the big hitter who bowls a bit of useful offspin, is not yet a permanent fixture in India's one-day side. Plenty has been said about Irfan - critics cite his ineffective bowling on subcontinent pitches - and it appears he is struggling to identify his predominant vocation.
What followed was stirring stuff. Irfan and Yusuf plundered 59 runs off 25 balls and India posted a rousing three-wicket win with four balls to spare.
Throughout this tour, Muttiah Muralitharan has been taunting Yusuf on and off the field. "Why don't you hit me?" has often been the central jibe. Yusuf reminded him about the IPL final, when he took on Murali but was told that the pitch didn't turn. Tonight, there was no Murali and more importantly, the team situation demanded Yusuf to hit out. And he did.
"The ball had suddenly started to turn and rotating the strike was difficult," Mahendra Singh Dhoni said about the pitch at the R Premadasa Stadium. Yusuf got a little help from Tillakaratne Dilshan who threw the ball to legspinner Malinga Bandara. Cue two sixes and a four in the 16th over, and equation had quickly changed to 40 from 24 balls.
When quizzed about those monster hits at the post-match ceremony, Yusuf said they had all been in his slot. It was as if he had no excuse. He just had to hit the cover off the ball, with no offence to Bandara. As Dhoni said, Yusuf has licence to hit: "We really don't want him to rotate the strike; we want him to look for the big shots."
It wasn't all just brute force, however. Yusuf showed that behind that expressionless exterior, there was a smart brain clicking. After that expensive over from Bandara, Dilshan didn't turn back to spin, and Yusuf coolly picked singles to hand the strike over to his younger brother. Responding to the pressure admirably, Irfan unfurled some gems of his own against Dilhara Fernando and Lasith Malinga. Irfan is a better player of seam bowling and Yusuf can murder spin. It was a perfect tango.
Since the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007, Dhoni has looked at Yusuf as a long-term prospect for the No. 7 slot in ODI cricket. "Even if he had not scored in this game," said Dhoni, "we believe in his talent and will give him chances."
In the field, Yusuf had starred with the ball too, chipping in with a tidy four overs for 2 for 23. It wasn't mesmerising bowling - Yusuf's brand of offspin isn't going to inspire a young boy to turn his arm over - but it was effective. As Dhoni said, "He is not a talented bowler in the sense that he doesn't have 100 variations. He will be a tight bowler who can be useful for four to five overs."
Yusuf does indeed fit perfectly into the new Indian way of bowling a slew of slow bowlers in the middle overs between the bowling and batting Powerplays.
If this series has been a show of trust in Yusuf by the captain, this game could be the beginning of Irfan's second innings. His batting was never in doubt; it's his bowling that has to improve, though Dhoni defended his bowler. "It gets difficult for [the] one-change bowler," he said. "The ball doesn't do anything by then on these flat tracks. There is tremendous pressure. You have to take wickets and not give too many runs."
According to Dhoni, a rate of six-an-over for a bowler is reasonable in an age of powerplays. "What Irfan does is add stability when it comes to batting. Without Harbhajan Singh, we have a long tail." On this tour, including this game, Irfan has given away 149 runs from 120 balls at 7.45 runs per over. Clearly, if he has to cement a spot, his bowling will have to improve.
It will be interesting to see how the two brothers go from here. Yusuf will find pressure from Ravindra Jadeja, who is a good batsman and can bowl tidy spin; he was the highest wicket-taker this past Ranji season. Irfan is the preferred allrounder in conditions assisting seam but has been unable to find a regular place otherwise. Both brothers have been working hard in the nets, slogging it out to improve their respective arts. But as Dhoni said, the talent has to be tempered - "International cricket is not just about talent. It's what you do with it."

Dede has described his first goal for Brazil as a "dream" after helping his country to a 2-0 win over Zambia on Tuesday.
The Cruzeiro defender got on the scoresheet after 66 minutes, heading home a Neymar free-kick to double Brazil's lead after Oscar's goal seven minutes earlier.
The 25-year-old admitted that "it was a dream" to finally score his first goal for Brazil and targeted further appearances under Luiz Felipe Scolari.
"I am very happy to score my first goal with the national team shirt," he said.
"I had it in my head that this game was the biggest game of my life. To be part of the Selecao means a lot to a player. Moreover, the World Cup is fast-approaching. I am fully focused and very thankful for being here.
"I think I had a pretty solid game and even scored a goal. If I manage to keep it up then I think I can reach my goals. I'm relieved but I have to keep working every day in order to stay in the group."
Brazil have won 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions, with Scolari praising the development of his team.
"I think if we were to observe the results and progress of the team, it was a great year," he said.
"After those initial games where we were in search of tactical evolution and finding the parts to make this work, we had it all."
Scolari also hinted that there could be surprise inclusions in the squads for his next two friendlies prior to the FIFA World Cup, depending on players' club commitments in Brazil.
"Maybe I have to call one or another name that I have not imagined yet," he said. "I'll probably call one or two players who are not here."

A courtroom spokesperson said Hudson was in the building, but she would not be in court for the opening statements.
Hudson said previously she would attend the court proceedings at 26th Street and California for every day of the trial. She is on a list of potential witnesses who could be called.
William Balfour is charged with the 2008 murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, her brother, Jason, and 7-year-old nephew, Julian King. Prosecutors say Balfour, who was married to Jennifer Hudson's sister, Julia, had made threats and carried out the murders during a jealous rage.
With all of the publicity surrounding the case, the biggest challenge for the judge is making sure Balfour gets a fair trial. A gag order is in place, and the judge is implementing strict rules inside the courtroom. Any spectators interested in watching the trial must register the day before the court session.
The judge also has ordered the identities of the 12 jurors and six alternates to remain secret until after the trial. Besides not talking about the case until after deliberations, the jurors have to avoid watching news reports or reading news stories about the trial or doing anything that would compromise their impartiality.
For reporters covering the trial, the judge has banned tweeting in the courtroom because he believes that activity could become a distraction for jurors and witnesses on the stand. The judge also has placed restrictions on the e-mails reporters can send, saying they can only send an occasional e-mail to their news organizations.
Opening statements were scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. but got under way late. ABC7 spotted William Balfour seated at the defense table wearing a white shirt and grey tie.
Jurors were expected to hear statements from both sides. A legal expert explained what to expect.
"Opening statements will encompass both what the prosecutor and the defense think is going to be the evidence in the case. The prosecutor is going to show that this is a circumstantial case, and that actually, works in your favor as a prosecutor because you don't have the credibility issue of one witness. You get to piece together that puzzle and show that the jury can follow points 1, 2, 3, 4, put to the puzzle together, and show that he's guilty. The defense, likewise, is going to show this is a circumstantial case, that there is no direct evidence that links the Mr. Balfour to the crime," said Atty. Thomas Glasgow.
Barricades were put in place early Monday in anticipation that large crowds of fans would gather outside the courthouse hoping to see Jennifer Hudson. However, there was very little activity late Monday morning.
Opening statements were expected to go into the afternoon. There is a chance a witness could be called by the end of the day Monday. A list of potential witnesses was distributed, but the court is not saying anything about the order in which they could be called.

* Mounting Ukraine tensions cap gains in copper
* Nickel on track for 11th weekly increase in 12
(Adds comments, updates prices)
SINGAPORE, April 25 (Reuters) - London copper futures hit a seven-week high on Friday and were headed for their best week in about a month on firm demand in top market China, although growing tensions in Ukraine curbed further gains.
Premiums for spot copper in China have surged to levels last seen in 2010 amid strong seasonal demand this month. April and May are typically brisk consumption months for copper due to increased construction activity.
But copper futures struggled to push higher due to mounting violence in Ukraine, which is capping investor appetite for some risky assets from commodities to equities.
Ukrainian forces killed up to five pro-Moscow rebels as they closed in on the separatists' military stronghold in the east, and Russia launched army drills near the border in response, raising fears its troops would invade.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange was nearly flat at $6,755.75 a tonne by 0301 GMT after earlier hitting a high of $6,775, its strongest level since March 7.
For the week, copper was up 1.5 percent, its biggest such gain since the week ended March 28.
The escalating tensions in Ukraine are prompting some investors to lock in recent gains in copper, although the metal may still scale higher in the near term given the strength of seasonal demand in China, said Helen Lau, senior metals analyst at UOB-Kay Hian Securities in Hong Kong.
"If you ask fabricators, their order books are all pretty good," Lau said, adding that copper prices may bounce back in the short term to $7,000, a level last seen in early March.
The most-traded July copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 1.7 percent to 47,760 yuan ($7,600) a tonne.
Purchases by China's state stockpiler, the State Reserves Bureau (SRB), had helped boost premiums for copper held in Shanghai's bonded warehouses to $95-$115 a tonne over cash LME from as low as $65 in early April, said Lau.
The SRB has bought at least 200,000 tonnes of imported copper stored in bonded warehouses after global copper prices dived to multi-year lows in March.
London nickel was little changed at $18,340 a tonne after fears of tighter supply lifted prices to $18,600 on Thursday, its highest in more than 14 months.
Nickel, the best performing base metal this year, has gained 32 percent so far in 2014 as an Indonesian ban on exports of unprocessed minerals from January tightened supplies of nickel ore which top buyer China uses in the production of stainless steel.
For the week, nickel was up more than 2 percent, its 11th weekly gain out of 12.

A long-time advocate for philanthropy, politics, and education in the state of Rhode Island has passed away.
Nuala Pell, grandmother of Clay Pell and widow of the late Senator Claiborne Pell, passed Sunday morning in Newport at the age of 89.
Mrs. Pell was recognized for her decades of service to Rhode Islanders. Last year, Salve Regina University announced the "Nuala Pell Leadership Program in Public Service" in honor of her dedication to the service of others.
Clay Pell says of his grandmother's passing, "Our entire family is heartbroken by my grandmother's passing. She dedicated her life to her family and to the service of others. From her work in support of the arts, education, and her humanitarian service, she was a beacon of hope to many. We could not have asked for a better parent or grandparent than Mimi. We will love and miss her more than words can express."
Providence Mayor Angel Taveras says in part, "Nuala Pell's
contribution to the State of Rhode Island has been immeasurable." U.S. Senator Jack Reed recalls Mrs. Pell as "a civic leader in her own right...a spirited champion of the arts, education, and public service." Congressman Jim Langevin said Mrs. Pell "has always embodied those same values of selflessness, courage and kindness" as her late husband, Senator Claiborne Pell. U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse says her "remarkable lifetime of public service left an indelible mark on our state."

Historical Traveler Reviews Stormont Hotel Belfast
5 stars!
I flew in from California on Christmas eve 2002 to surprise my family on Christmas day. I booked one night at the Stormont. The hotel was just about empty when I arrived late on Christmas eve, but there were very pleasant staff at the desk. My room was cozy and welcoming. I had a personalized welcome/Christmas card on my bed signed by the manager along with a little basket of goodies. I felt most welcome! I declined a wake up call thinking I'd wake easily. But was awakened by a call from the front desk politely asking if I'd be staying longer and if they could do anything for me. It was lunch time! Ha ha - yea! how about a swift kick out the door! I didn't eat there, but the place was buzzing with families who'd come for the Christmas Carvery when I checked out. My experience was very pleasant and I would definately stay at the Stormont again.
A Great Hotel to Stay In!
This was my first visit to Belfast and I hope it will not be my last! Staying at The Stormont Hotel was a sheer delight. The bedroom was huge and spotless. The staff pleasant, efficient and very welcoming, the food excellent! Best hotel breakfast I've had for years! Thank you Stormont Hotel! I'll be back.
My wife & I stayed in this fantastic hotel for 3 nights at the end of Jan '05. Could not fault in any respect. From the moment we arrived, the staff, especially Michael the Concierge, when out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We had dinner in both restaurants and found the meals excellent. Special thanks to Julie-Anne. We'll be back again soon!!
Overstretched and short staffed
We stayed for a Saturday night whilst visiting friends in the area. Arrived at 1pm to check in and were told that as they were busy the rooms were still being prepard and were not ready for release. We asked if we could complete the paperwork but were told that this was not possible.
We went away visiting and came back at 5.30pm, we asked for a non-smoking quiet room but we were told that the hotel was now full and that the only double room available was a smoking room but that we could pay �20 and upgrade to a non-smoking executive room with bathrobes etc.
We paid the extra but when we got to the room it was not ready for us and we had to ring housekeeping. Also the room was at the front of the hotel opposite the function suite and due to a large wedding party taking place was definitely not going to be quiet. We spoke to the manager and made the point that this was not to be expected from a 4* hotel he was most sympathetic and agreed to refund the extra that we had paid.
Basically the hotel felt over-stretched and short-staffed.
It is worth remarking that when booking a UK hotel it is worthwhile to ask if there is going to be a wedding, particularly if the hotel is one that is toward the top of the range. It is worth finding out the time the function is going to stop, usually 1am, and asking to be put in a room well away from the noisy areas. However this does not stop guests being noisy on the way back to their rooms. This does not make the problem go away but at least one can keep the blood pressure down by being prepared and have a go at asking if you can have the same wedding discount that they are offering the bridal party.
Stayed in the stormont overnight as it was close to the ferry in the morning, staff were really helpful, as if each and everyone had won the lottery that day, service with a genuine smile, rooms were very big, huge beds, televisions in room huge, food awesome.
Will definately return to this hotel. have read the other reviews and i just wonder if the one person who was disapointed was not a manager of a rivalhotel?? very biased...... top notch hotel well deserved of the 4 * rating
Fantastic location
Really nice hotel, friendly staff, great location. Go for a walk round Stormont Castle while you are there
Stormont Hotel -
The Stormont hotel is excellent !! what more can I say...I stayed there last summer. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpfull. The rooms are airy and spacious. Excellent location, (just outside belfast town - opposite stormont parliment buildings.) In my personal opinoun the Stormont is is an ideal base for touring Northern Irelands many tourist attractions. I will certainly be going back again!!
Loved Belmont and Stormont
My husband and I have just returned from a VERY enjoyable three-day stay at the Stormont Hotel. The facilities were excellent! We had a very comfortable room (probably the best we've ever had) and couldn't fault the hotel at all. The staff were very friendly and helpful indeed, and the food was also very good . We really couldn't fault the hotel or staff at all. This won't be our last stay at the Stormont and we look forward to staying there again before too long! A MOST ENJOYABLE STAY!
Highly Recommended
The person who wrote the "Disappointed" review must have been very hard to please or didn't stay at the same hotel as me. 40 of us stayed the weekend at Stormont Hotel and it is a beautiful hotel with very spacious, comfortable accommodation and excellent meals. The staff are so helpful and friendly and the level of service is second to none. Some of our party have stayed in many high quality hotels and said they would love to stay longer. Highly recommended.
Stormont Hotel Dissapointment
Dear readers,
I urge you to not visit the Stormont Hotel, because there is nothing worse that waisting you time! The accomitations are spartian and the hotel even looks like a crazy house. There are fare better hotels in Belfast, but be careful and not go to the Stormont or the Europa!
