Since you're using non-provincial units I assume you're in the European
Union, but in the USA there's a specific reg forbidding cellphone spam.
Pro-actively dialling the customer's phone could well give a hostile
impression. A customer-initiated interaction such as WAP is a lot more
polite, but the shopkeeper would want to make it available to everyone
including those looking through the window.
If the technical and regulatory issues can be straightened out, it would be
very valuable to both the customer and the business to provide a product
search feature, tech specs for products, etc. All the advantages of online
shopping, but you can look at the physical product and buy it on the spot.
