I’m already seeing holiday-themed garb trickling into stores everywhere. As we approach the 2012 holiday shopping season, being aware of how consumers are shopping is once again on the forefront of the retailers’ consciousness. With very few Americans expected to have an increase in wages above inflation this year, consumers today are looking for the best deals possible.

Recent days have allowed not only the most technologically sound industries, but even technologically challenged industries to add value to their brands through mobile development.
