Forrester Consulting interviewed and surveyed current RetailMeNot retail clients to create a composite organization that demonstrates the results of a retailer's mobile marketing campaign run via RetailMeNot. Additional findings of the study include:

• Mobile marketing campaigns via RetailMeNot delivered incremental sales transactions. Each promotional campaign resulted in significant sales transactions. For the composite organization, 85 percent of them were from new customers.
• New customers also made future purchases, resulting in additional gross sales. Many of the new customers created accounts, signed up for loyalty programs or in some other way created a longer-term relationship with retailers.
• Mobile solution marketing campaigns have better attribution and analytics that can identify valuable insights. The interviewed retailers said they have very good visibility into how the campaigns perform, can identify elements of successful campaigns and can better attribute sales.

"Mobile content is a primary influencer in the consumer shopping journey, yet most purchases still happen in-store," said Mausam Bhatt, senior vice president of product at RetailMeNot, Inc. "Therefore, it is important for us to measure the impact of retailers' mobile marketing spend via RetailMeNot."
