A study published by Radicati Group Study mentioned that out of the 2.5 billion email users worldwide, 45% access emails on their mobile/smart phones whereas 36% on the desktop and 19% in a webmail client. Also, the effects of email campaigns can be very appealing as you can personalize them. Make your customer feel privileged of buying goods or services from you.

Locate them, Tab Them & Please Them
Location based services is emerging as the next big thing for webstore. It is a brilliant technology to establish a link between your online and offline store. It creates that ‘recall’ value among your target audience and increases your reach by knowing if they are around you. Location bases services offers features that lets the businesses know what are the preference and tastes of your customers and then accordingly offer them personalized suggestions for shopping online.
For e.g. A person visits a French restaurant very often, through your location based services you understand that a customer regularly check-in’s at that particular place or has an interest in French things. You then suggest may be French art or cultural gifts available or French brands for shopping to that customer.
In this manner, your customer not only feels treated but elated about his experience with your brand. You can also track if they are around you and buzz them while they are shopping.
