MoMo Sydney – 7th Nov. – Mobilising Christmas!
Posted on: October 14, 2011 – Filed under: Sydney
Imagine this, you’re a guy who gets dragged to every shopping expedition by your partner whether you like it or not. Christmas is the most dreaded holiday because not only do you have to manoeuvre the crowds, you’re also expected to do the heavy lifting: the shopping bags, gift boxes, wine bottles, etc. Now what if there’s a mobile app that can convert you from a Shopping Slave to The Navigator?
You’re a woman on a mission to find the best holiday buy you can find. There’s so much to buy but so little time! What if there’s an app on your mobile that can tell you how far away you are from the shop that contains the item you desire?
Join us this Monday as Natasha Rawlings and David Jones (not the retail store), demonstrates StreetHawk – a Platform for hyper-local retail promotions. StreetHawk is a smartphone app that ALERTS shoppers of products they seek, on the streets around them, and the locations they frequently shop.
Christmas is the time of the year when your organisational skills are tested and stretched to the hilt. Amidst all the revelry, preparing a feast for the entire family can be most daunting. With 101 things to remember, imagine what a catastrophe it would be if you serve your best turkey ever and yet forgot to get the gravy…. you ruined Christmas!
