CLUBPROM PERSONALIZED MOBILE SITES GETTING PERSONAL WITH SUCCESS Not so long ago, teens gathered around the TV; now they surf the web, watch video, communicate and shop on personal, handheld devices. Shoppers have grown comfortable with--and even come to expect--a one-on-one dialogue with brands.

IPA's ClubProm Personalized Mobile Sites are a smart way to engage shoppers in a cost effective manner and deliver communications that drive traffic and ultimately increase sales. Brands who have implemented strategic personalized marketing techniques have seen decidedly greater success over traditional stand-alone printed marketing approaches.
