Tomi - Good post. As for foot-fall, retailers should also consider the emergence of check-in based games and services like Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, Yelp, etc. (and those outside the US, too). Retailers should be able to use the check-in data so they are alerted when people are in the store so they can interact with them and provide promotional offers. There's probably some privacy and opt-in things that need to be addressed, but I'm sure that it's doable.

Tomi - I see you are following an arc from "Mobile marketing" to "Mobile marketing and everything else in the customer lifecycle".

The challenge is to build the toolset to support these steps: identify and authenticate customer, market, sell (e-commerce), fulfil order/service, bill and pay, and customer support.

Today's tools are a good start. They could be a lot bettter. Understanding the need of enterprises to connect, interact and transact with their customers is the first step. Then we can work out how the tools and revenue models can evolve.

Oh..Tomi, Understanding the need of enterprises to connect..

Nice post, Tomi. What you mention about mobile is beginning to hit the spot here in Singapore. My company is beginning to get enquiries about using mobile apps and games as a way to market products and services to customers here. I have a writeup about this mobile app here at http://www.azukisoft.com/

Great post Tomi. The broader impact of mobile on retail is something a lot of us in the e-commerce and electronic payments industry still tend to underestimate. There is also an important tension to consider as to who will ultimately be more empowered by mobile, the merchant or the consumer?

I posted a response on my own blog here http://www.thomaspurves.com/2010/09/28/the-dawn-of-mobile-in-retail/
