In what amounts to yet another compelling case study highlighting effective mobile marketing, National Wholesale Liquidators has deployed a comprehensive mobile marketing strategy to drive interest, traffic, and sales at the company’s discount retail chain of 12 stores.
Having emerged from bankruptcy just four years ago, the company says mobile marketing is playing a key role in the retailer’s impressive comeback.
In fact, the recent mobile marketing efforts have brought more mobile-connected shoppers into its stores, Drew Bickel, the company’s director of planning, allocation, distribution and special projects tells Internet Retailer.
“We’re making it cool to come into our stores,” he says, pointing to his company’s reliance upon SMS marketing and targeted mobile text-message offers to inspire interest and generate sales among key demographics.
The mobile marketing strategy even includes in-store digital signs that registered shoppers can capitalize on with a simple wave of the phone in close proximity. From there, special offers are sent to the device and frequently used by the empowered customer.
So far, among the the 250,000 consumers who patronize the stores on a weekly basis, 50,000 have already opted into receiving text messages, Bickel reveals.

Digital has changed the way marketers and entire businesses need to think about delivering the brand and it value; not just to consumers but also internally.
CEOs are demanding greater value from their Marketing Departments and having to better understand multiple touch points that customers have with their businesses online. Marketers, in-turn, are having to re-think how best to manage the different and growing number of communication channels to meet changing customer needs, while adjusting to smaller budgets and more limited resources, along with being faced with increased investment in technology to cope with managing these changes.
Join us at this 1/2 day session that provides Senior Marketers and Business Leaders with a view of:
- the strategic implications of digital, with up to date examples from proprietary Econsultancy research
- powerful brand stories as consumers start are no longer just buying facts
- real life insights in businesses that have had to adapt to the state of digital
- suggestions on how establishments may need to change as technology evolves and what’s in store for the future of digital marketing
All attendees will receive a complimentary PDF copy of the State of Digital in Asia 2013 Report (worth USD$400)

Our new survey is aimed at exploring the extent to which companies are integrating different digital and traditional marketing channels effectively, and how committed they are to relationship marketing.
Those taking part in the research will get access to a complimentary copy of the resulting report which will be published in August.
According to last year’s survey-based report on this topic, lack of strategy, organisational structure and disparate technology platforms hold back companies from driving effective cross-channel campaigns, themes which are also explored in our free trends briefing based on roundtable discussions at our London Digital Cream event.
Among last year’s survey findings were the following:
- When asked about the factors preventing effective co-ordination of campaigns, a quarter of companies (25%) said a lack of a clearly defined strategy was the greatest barrier.
- Fragmentation of departments and / or poor organisational structures was seen as the next greatest obstacle, cited by 23% of responding companies.
- The third most significant barrier was disparate technology and systems, cited by 14% of company respondents.
- As well as a clear strategy, 15% stressed the importance of ownership and accountability, while 13% cited having a joined-up organisational structures as the key requirement.
