Mobile will be more pervasive for both shopping and selling. Tablets and smartphones will aid mobile shoppers in any location. Customer experience is at the core of omnichannel. Inventory transparency and new fulfillment and delivery models are important, but shoppers mostly care about getting the product they want when they need it. There isn’t a straight path from social media to sales, though attribution is getting better and retailers are becoming more creative. Twitter – #eMwebinar
