In a short time, we have achieved incredible outcomes and the trend is for the numbers to only go up from here.”

It is very common for online customers to visit a website, add products of interest to their cart and, for some reason, not finish the purchase. We engaged Upstream and their marketing automation platform, Grow, and began sending automated notifications to our customers to encourage their return to the store and to conclude the transaction, The results prove that mobile marketing is the way to go.”
