Growth in smartphone and social media usage is setting the basis for all types of retail marketing trends.

For example, devices and platforms are used as consumer touch points for retailers and measure the return on investment of social channels.

Beacons — in-store devices that wirelessly beam promotions to a consumer’s handheld device — are driving shopping interactions on smartphones. And affiliate marketing is taking on an increasingly important role within retail.
