Article in Entrepreneur Magazine about ShopKick, a new tool to attract people to retail stores.
- "The number-one challenge facing every retailer in America is getting people through the door," Roeding (the founder) says. "Conversion rates in the physical world are so much better than online -- between 0.5 percent to 3 percent in the virtual world, and between 20 percent to 95 percent in the real world. So if foot traffic is so important, then why hasn't anyone rewarded people for visiting stores?"
- This is what ShopKick's tool does, reward people for visiting.
