mobile email: the time is now
DESCRIPTION
The number of people accessing their emails via mobile devices in 2012 continues to grow. But mobile email is not really about repurposing desktop email and squeezing it to a smaller screen. The real value of mobile email is the ability to deliver instant gratification wherever the consumer is, in a way that cannot be duplicated at the desktop. Join this session to discuss how mobile has evolved over the past year, and how to utilize the consumer mobile data that's available to you. See real examples of marketers using mobile as a unique opportunity to offer up content that cannot be duplicated by the desktop.TRANSCRIPT
