I think we can all agree that a big part of our future is mobile. In this session, Paul McArthur will not only show you why it is critical we act now but also exactly how to do it as he shares with us the power of mobile coupons and text message marketing. Those of you who have heard Paul speak KNOW that you will walk away with rock solid ways to generate real revenue the day you leave the conference to head home. There is no fluff or guesswork here. If you want to create a profitable new division of your paper, you will not want to miss this session..
