I’m delighted to be moderating next week’s (3/5) SMBMSP (Social Media Breakfast Minneapolis/St. Paul) at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy at the Mall of America, 4th floor (Upper East Side), 8-10 a.m. Retail panelists include:

• David Erickson, Tunheim Partner
• Bridget Jewell, Mall of America
• Jennifer Rock, Best Buy
• Jeff Sommers, Izzy’s Ice Cream

In developing a solid line of questioning for the panel, I want to know what YOU think in order to round out my questions for the event. We’re a crew who likes to collaborate, so let’s do it. Tell me what you want to know about the relationship between social media and retail, okay?

We only have about 45 minutes, so I’ll take what you peeps give me and try to pack it all in to answer your questions. There will also be some Q & A, so if you post here and it’s unanswered you’ll have the opportunity to ask. I look forward to what you all come up with.

I’ll start: I’m really interested in how retail venues are utilizing location-based social networks like Foursquare in their marketing mix.

I look forward to comments!!! Thanks in advance . P.S. For those that already commented via Posterous, Twitter and Facebook – THANKS!
