It looks like the Memorial Day weekend mobile marketing campaign for the Ace Hardware chain was a success.

This week, Mobile Posse announced the results of the mobile blitz, which generated an average click-through rate of 18 percent.

Customers who learned of the promotion from the campaign were nearly 30% more likely to take a trip to their nearest Ace Hardware.
