The NRF's First Retail Innovation & Marketing Conference Features Roundtable on Real-time Marketing
Practical application of real-time marketing for retailers to be discussed by David Brussin, CEO of Monetate, and Bob Myers, CEO of Sheplers Western Wear
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3 -- As part of the National Retail Federation's first-ever Retail Innovation & Marketing Conference, taking place in San Francisco this week, David Brussin, CEO of conference sponsor Monetate, will today host a roundtable for retailers titled: "Practical Experiences with Real-time Marketing."
"What real-time marketing means for today's retail web site is the ability to change and test anything, anywhere on the site, for any customer, instantly, without waiting on the I.T. department," says Brussin.
According to Brussin: "This need to conduct online marketing and merchandising in real time is being driven by developments in social media, smartphones, and real-time search engines."
Joining Brussin for the roundtable will be retail industry veteran Bob Myers, CEO of Sheplers Western Wear (http://www.sheplers.com/).
"For the online shopper, real-time marketing means a much better shopping experience, one that is more relevant and more compelling," says Myers.
Myers notes that, "For retailers, the results are typically very positive when you are instantly and individually targeting all of your online marketing resources based on what you know about the person who is on your site."
The roundtable takes place Wednesday, March 3, from 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM, at the St. Francis Westin in San Francisco.
"Monetate is delighted to be sponsoring this inaugural event," says Brussin, adding, "I look forward to sharing with retailers some practical examples of how segmenting and targeting of web store traffic in real time can drive revenue across multiple channels."
