NRF 2010, Booth 2105 -- Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions to the midmarket and Global 1000 companies, today introduced Epicor Retail Mobile Marketing for retailers, offering a highly interactive, cost-effective and personalized marketing channel to target mobile consumers.

Delivered via a partnership with mobile messaging and technology provider Impact Mobile, Inc., Mobile Marketing enables retailers to deliver customized messages, coupons, and promotions to mobile device users.

Additionally, Epicor's Retail CRM Services team of highly trained CRM professionals are available to assist retailers in creating, managing and launching mobile marketing campaigns via the Epicor Mobile Marketing solution, which can augment existing CRM initiatives or be incorporated as a part of the turnkey execution and management of ongoing CRM campaigns.

Mobile Marketing Extends Epicor's Mobile Retail Offerings

Mobile device/smart phone users represent a rapidly growing and potentially lucrative customer segment. Deloitte's most recent Annual Holiday Survey of retail spending and trends projected that nearly one in five consumers would use a mobile device to assist in their holiday shopping this year -- to find store locations, research prices, find product information, get coupons, read reviews and more. And an estimated one in four consumers was projected to make a holiday purchase with their phone.

Epicor Mobile Marketing is the latest in the company's efforts to help retailers leverage the mobile environment as it continues to gain traction as both a business enabler and an indispensable consumer service. Epicor supports mobile functionality across its entire suite of retail solutions to improve in-store productivity and enable retailers to provide more timely and responsive customer service. With a wireless device running Epicor's Mobile Store applications, store managers and sales associates can support the full range of Point-of-Sale functions, including line busting, real-time product search, locate and reserve stock, in addition to completing various inventory management functions.

"For years, we have envisioned a combination of in-store mobile devices and consumer mobile devices powering the retail transactions of tomorrow," said David Henning, executive vice president and general manager for Epicor Retail. "Over the past 18 months this vision has begun to take shape as we have seen a major uptick in interest from retailers in mobile marketing and this unique, rich, one-to-one interactive marketing experience. As consumers continue to embrace mobile devices, retailers are rushing to leverage mobile marketing because it is extremely timely, customizable, measurable and cost effective, and has a relatively high response rate as compared to other marketing channels."

Today, many of the world's leading retailers utilize Epicor Retail solutions and services to become more profitable, productive, competitive and eco-friendly. Epicor's solutions use the .NET Framework, Microsoft's platform for building applications, to improve business operations and meet the evolving merchandise and service expectations of today's cross-channel shoppers.
