Mobeam Surpasses 40 Million Barcode Beaming Transactions At Retail POS

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: 600;">Mobeam</span>, the unique global leader in mobile barcode beaming technology, today announced it has completed more than 40 million retail point-of-sale (POS) transactions, a milestone that showcases the growing demand for true mobile wallets that are uniquely able to process gift cards, loyalty cards, coupons and other barcoded data.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Want to know <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://magentodownload.net/pos-software-trends-in-2016/" target="_blank">POS software trends in 2016</a>, read now and you will understand more about Magento POS ipad.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
The company reported it is now processing more than 2 million transactions per month via apps from multiple retailers and grocery stores, as well as Mobeam's own popular Beep'nGo app. The transactions are processed throughout the U.S., Asia and Europe.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Mobeam's patented light-based beaming technology overcomes historical technical barriers and enables POS laser scanners to read barcodes on Android mobile devices. Popular and emerging "mobile payment" apps rely on NFC or other technologies that communicate with credit card payment terminals, but not with scanners. Mobeam enables true mobile wallets and not just NFC-based card payment substitutes, meaning payment apps can now carry loyalty cards, membership cards, gift cards, tickets, vouchers and coupons, providing them with universal POS access at retailers. Mobeam technology easily integrates with all existing mobile payment apps, thus completing their role as a comprehensive mobile wallet. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Mobeam currently operates on more than 375 million Samsung phones, and the company is in talks with other manufacturers to expand the technology to other market leading devices.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
"Mobeam is a very unique and powerful enabling technology that is enabling smartphones to serve as true mobile wallets," said Mobeam CEO George Garrick, adding, "We are seeing tremendous acceleration in the use of our technology, having grown from 25 million transactions to 40 million transactions in just the past few months."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Mr. Garrick explained that the growth in beaming of barcoded gift cards, loyalty cards and coupons is being driven by both retailers and consumers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
"We deliver consumer benefits by eliminating the shopper's need pay for purchases with a smartphone yet still carry around a pocket full of plastic cards and paper coupons to complete their retail transactions. Retailers and brands benefit from creating a more convenient shopping experience, as well as improved targeting of offers, faster and easier transaction clearing, and enhanced security that reduces opportunities for fraud."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
In addition to mobile wallet applications for retail, multiple other industry segments are evaluating concepts for transmitting barcode-based content, including travel, transportation, loyalty, manufacturing and health care. Mobeam recently made its mobile beaming technology SDK available to developers, enabling them to explore these opportunities and create their own android-based applications and concepts utilizing barcodes or other applications of beaming.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #303030; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 0.29412em;">
<span class="" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can spread the benefits of Magento 2 into three broad categories: industrialization, efficiency and openness. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- The kernel modules are designed to operate independently and can actually be replaced, instead of being overloaded. </span></div>

However, customer experience has changed day by day so that eCommerce owners have to add more "things" to optimize their UX, make shopping more fun. One of the most popular ones is eCommerce Gamification.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

What is eCommerce gamification?</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ecommerce gamification is designed to make the shopping process more entertaining and add some hidden motivators for customers to visit your website more often and as a result to spend more. The use of gaming techniques and mechanics provides a favorable environment for winning customers’ loyalty, which is a gold mine for any online marketer. The shift in the approach towards entertaining shopping experience can now be seen both among big brands, like Coca-Cola, Nike, Perrier, and small companies that also fight for their piece of pie. With the introduction of Gamification to your online store you don’t expect shopping experience to be favorable, you create it yourself.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Types of gamification users</h2>

Since Gamification appeals to the psychological part of customers’ nature, it is a good idea to classify all your users in accordance with their behavior.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

As you see, each user type needs special approach. The best strategy here is to provide various gamification options in order to satisfy all groups of customers. Besides, some of game mechanics work together well, e.g. a new badge (a farmer would like) can provide some customization privileges (a networker would enjoy) or you can display a leaderboard (great for self-seekers) of those who won points in the luck game (enjoyers love so much).<br />Let’s check how online stores implement gamification techniques in real life.</div>

This gamification technique works well for enjoyers and farmers and helps to turn them into returning customers who visit your website every day in order to grab some bonus. People with the biggest amount of points are displayed in the special leaderboard, which is made in order to please self-seekers.</div>

Mystery Wheel</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is the place, where you can spend you daily bonus (and some other style points). Every spin costs 4 points, but can earn you from 3 to 40 points (or earn you nothing). In the best scenario you can win a coupon code for a free piece of jewelry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

This game technique is great for enjoyers. Besides, every time you win something there is a notification in the special section, which can’t but admire self-seekers.</div>

Name That Piece</h2>

Name That Piece is a hangman-type game, which not only entertains the customers (especially enjoyers), but also introduces new products to them in a fun way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

Badges</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
No gamification analysis would do without mentioning badges (works great for farmers). At Jewelmint you can get badges for plenty types of action from submitting a review to commenting on other person’s profile.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

Fans and style points</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Doesn’t the website have anything for Networkers? Of course it does. Every time someone finds your product review funny, creative or helpful you get some style points. This works great for networkers, who see that their point of view is appreciated, self-seekers, who feel their influence and acceptance, and farmers, who just enjoy receiving points.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

Besides, you can become a fan of another user (hello, networkers), comment and exchange messages, which also creates great environment for loyalty growth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you can see, eCommerce Gamification does not take much time but their advantages always make sense. Shoppers will have more fun and interest to stay at your websites, even though they purchase products or not.<br />Therefore, go ahead and explore your Gamification World!</div>

Top 5 Ecommerce Trends you cannot dismiss

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For ecommerce, 2014 was a year of milestones. Worldwide, sales hit a record high of <a href="http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Retail-Sales-Worldwide-Will-Top-22-Trillion-This-Year/1011765" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">$1.3 trillion</a>. Alibaba claimed <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac/2014/09/22/alibaba-claims-title-for-largest-global-ipo-ever-with-extra-share-sales/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the title</a> for largest global IPO ever. The overwhelming majority of U.S. shoppers are now buying products online. It was a good year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With this in mind, here are five key ecommerce trends that will dominate the year. </span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">1. Implementing more responsive design</span></span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sixty-six percent of all time spent on ecommerce sites is done across mobile devices, and <a href="http://www.mjrcg.com/blog/2012/10/site-not-mobile-friendly-61-of-visitors-will-leave/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">61 percent of customers </a>leave a site if it isn’t mobile-friendly. This is no secret, but the rate of change in response is enormous. This rate sof change explains why optimizing the user experience for smartphones and tablets -- not just smaller screens, but multiple devices with different screens -- is more of a priority than ever before. Responsive design adoption is poised to grow rapidly.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Responsive design</a> emphasizes a streamlined user interface and viewing experience, with easy reading and navigation enabled (at a minimum) through resizing, panning, and scrolling. Today, only <a href="http://marketingland.com/among-top-100-e-tail-sites-9-percent-using-responsive-design-77974" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">9 percent</a> of the top ecommerce sites use responsive design, but attitudes are quickly shifting to align with customer behavior. The<a href="http://smallbiztrends.com/2014/08/using-responsive-design.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">benefits</a> of responsive design include increased site traffic, improved customer satisfaction and higher conversion rates.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Site-flow is being simplified and optimized for all key platforms, including desktop and mobile. With no uniformity in device screen-size and multi-platform shopping more common than ever, many ecommerce brands will seek a responsive experience for their sites. (Candidly, my company is in the 91 percent of ecommerce sites that <a href="http://www.v2cigs.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">are not responsive</a>, but we have made that goal our top priority for 2015.)</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">2. Bringing Apple Pay online</span></span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apple launched its brick-and-mortar payment system last year, to much fanfare. Though Apple Pay is still strictly an in-store payment solution, there is speculation that it could become available to ecommerce merchants in the coming months. Already, Apple has entered partnerships with <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/16/dozens-more-companies-sign-up-for-apple-pay/?_r=0" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">online service</a> providers such as Lyft, Uber and Airbnb, suggesting that the company’s long-term plan for the service involves more than just brick-and-mortar merchants.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If Apple Pay were to enter the ecommerce space at scale, it would be a true game changer. For ecommerce merchants, this means facilitating easier payments, reducing costs like credit card processing fees and taking advanage of the potential opportunity to team up with Apple for marketing promotions -- a move most brands would see as an enormous benefit.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">3. Combining Content + Commerce</span></span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year, more ecommerce sites will couple content and commerce to create rich lifestyle-oriented destinations that keep shoppers coming back. Content will also double as a<a href="http://www.inc.com/jayson-demers/17-essential-seo-strategies-for-e-commerce-sites.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> </a>tool for SEO and branding. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blog.etsy.com/en/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Etsy</a> does a great job at combining content and commerce by profiling artists and featuring DIY projects while using its social media platforms to promote all of it. In that capacity, Etsy has become more than simply an ecommerce site, but rather a web destination for a variety of audiences ranging from customers, and artists who may want to display their work, to visitors interested in the art/DIY lifestyle and culture.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.birchbox.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Birchbox</a> is another excellent example of an ecommerce site successfully creating high-quality content to generate repeat business. Its blog is packed with “how-to” guides and style tips that rival the scope of traditional lifestyle publications like <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Cosmo</em> and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">GQ. </em>There is also the option to buy any of the items featured in the post, whether they be dress shirts or watches. This is content and commerce working together to achieve the same objective.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">4. Focusing on video</span></span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Cisco, by 2017, video will account for <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2014/jan/14/video-content-marketing-media-online" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">69 percent</a> of all consumer internet traffic. As shoppers grow more responsive to visual presentation and seek responsive layouts, video will become a front-and-center asset to convey product details -- not just demos -- and facilitate improved webrooming.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shift toward video is already generating a high ROI for the advertising industry, especially among consumer packaged goods brands, many of which have seen significant <a href="http://www.emarketer.com/Article/CPG-Brands-See-Better-Engagement-Reach-with-Digital-Video/1010750" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">increases</a> in engagement and reach.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Video is a great way to deliver high-quality content, and it <a href="http://www.luxurydaily.com/mobile-video-plays-reach-25pc-for-ecommerce-brands-report/?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided&utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">benefits</a>ecommerce by leading to higher average orders and driving conversions. In 2015, the focus in particular will be on mobile video. Last year alone, <a href="http://www.luxurydaily.com/mobile-video-plays-reach-25pc-for-ecommerce-brands-report/?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided&utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">25 percent</a> of all ecommerce video plays came from mobile devices, up from 19 percent in 2013. As mobile becomes the dominant platform for online shopping, ecommerce retailers who have seen the benefit of video will focus more on leveraging it across multiple channels.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">5. Mastering</span> t<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">otal remarketing</span></span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The proliferation of mobile has created an “always-on” customer. Retailers can now connect with shoppers wherever and whenever they are. And Facebook’s dominance across all platforms, especially mobile -- the average smartphone user checks his or her Facebook account around <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2300466/Smartphone-users-check-Facebook-14-times-day-admit-looking-movies.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">14 times</a> a day -- has made it possible to <a href="http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/237039/cross-device-marketing-no-longer-hypothetical-use.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">market</a> to this huge audience on every device throughout the site. As a result, the opportunity for online retailers to remarket to off-site targets has never been better. This is why 2015 will be the year retailers stop questioning Facebook’s ROI and fully embrace its power as a multi-channel marketing tool.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Facebook is <a href="http://time.com/3686643/facebook-growth-mobile-ads/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">already seeing</a> this trend play out. Its sales jumped 50 percent in the final quarter of 2014, with mobile ads accounting for nearly 70 percent of total ad revenue. Two years ago, that number <a href="http://investor.fb.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=736911" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2093d2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">was just 23 percent.</a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ultimately, this year’s ecommerce trends will be defined by the drive to constantly improve the customer experience. And by streamlining the path to purchase, online retailers will be in an even better position to take advantage of the category’s growth and drive real revenue gains above and beyond those of 2014. </span></div>
