Here’s a trinity of useful infographics that flesh out the rise of the SoLoMo consumer – smart consumers who shop with social, location-aware and mobile technology.

The first from Dublin-based VendorShop reports that when Facebook stores that incentivise sharing increase sharing by 55%, and that sharing converts at 20%.
