Description Marketing strategists Rick Mathieson and Jim Crawford say it’s just a matter of time before consumers forswear Foursquare, dropkick Shopkick, and tell Facebook Places exactly where it can go. Sure, these and other location-based services are all the rage now – but they will have to evolve dramatically over the next few years in order to survive. Why? Because the moment we find ourselves pinged with 70 different offers from 70 different retailers as we stroll down the street - or checking-in to every restaurant or retailer for dinky discounts we ought to receive anyway - it’s all going to get very old, very fast. The problem isn’t (merely) about scale. It’s not (just) about the value of the deal. It’s about the entire experience. The Future of Location-Based Marketing – And How To Avoid It provides an in-depth look at far more powerful trends that will collide to transform the worlds of mobile marketing, social media and retailing in the decade ahead. Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that will have attendees rethinking possibilities - and setting all-new coordinates for their location-based marketing initiatives.
