Macy’s, Walmart ramp up mobile in-store for the holidays

“Mobile is bringing everything that is digital and everything that is e-commerce into the stores,” said Artemis Berry, senior content director for the National Retail Federation’s digital division, Shop.org. “It’s taking shopping to the next level.”
