The digital world is rapidly expanding and there are more opportunities for retailers than ever before, particularly in the smartphone arena. Usage of such devices is increasing daily, and with more apps being developed and operating systems created it’s time for brands everywhere to use mobile technology to their advantage.

These days an effective retail display simply won’t cut it – shops have to appeal to customers in the digital arena as well as in the physical one, meaning investment in mobile-optimised sites should be at the top of the agenda. Far too few retailers are ready for the mobile age but it’s essential they address this issue before they go anywhere else, because once the basics have been mastered brands will be able to move on into the development of apps and specific campaigns to help catapult them into the digital marketplace.

It’s also a good idea to look into the prospect of geolocation. The recent launch of Apple’s iOS 5 offers around 200 new features with many offering geolocation opportunities, and with Foursquare having reached 10,000,000 global users it only adds to the potential of such technology. It’s still relatively early days but there’s the potential for geolocation to be integrated into longer-term strategies, and with customers expecting more than ever it’s essential to be ready for it.
