iPhone apps have been known to serve any industry and any purpose. And now it looks like the hospitality industry is next on the agenda as Moglumedia unveils the MogluRBN iPhone app to aid bars, nightclubs and restaurants to connect with their customers via mobile means. With the MogluRBN iPhone app, these establishments can keep their customers informed of the latest events, menus and promotions. In return, they can also use the app as an advanced way of getting feedback or even mobile ordering to make it easier for foodies to interact with their favorite restaurant or pub.

This app is now available in three subscription plans: Basic, Plus and Premium. For the cost of getting them, this would play somewhere between $45 to $195 per month. There are no initial fees needed and businesses who make use of them can choose to cancel them at any time.

People who love to go green or look for great deals connected towards the environmental creations available in the world today may want to check out Green Perks, a new mobile application that offers exclusive discounts on environmentally conscious products and services.

Victoria’s Secret adds another way for its patrons to access and order their products with the soft launch of a new mobile e-commerce site. Additionally, a text message campaign coincides with this new strategy, something common we see today.

Users can shop the Victoria’s Secret catalog that is available on the retailer’s main Web site or in print by entering an item number into a “Catalogue Quick Order” query box. Once they’ve located the item they want, they can then buy it securely over the mobile site and check the status of their shipments.

This sounds simple and similar to most businesses that have embraced the technology of e-commerce. While it has been going on for some time now, this added phase of marketing and distribution of Victoria’s Secret products should help reach a wider array of consumers, particularly the ones who have adopted web technology or online ordering.

Shopping just got easier and whether you are using your PC or mobile phone, the advent of looking and placing orders seem to be the new face of marketing and promotions today. Thankfully, Victoria’s Secret has done that and results seem high that they can make up for faltering sales which is plaguing the whole world due to old-school marketing tactics.
