2 weeks left to save $100 on Catalyst 2009

By Ed | January 2nd, 2009 | Category: Events | No Comments »

Just a quick reminder that the chance to save $100 off the price of tickets for the Channel Advisor Catalyst 2009 conference expires on January 15th.

This year, the focus is on developing a consumer-driven, multi-channel sales strategy that is tailored to your business and puts your products where shoppers are.

Some other benefits you’ll get from Catalyst 2009 -

Results from consumer research, and insight from consumer panels on how shoppers are searching for and buying products, and how to reach them.

Tactical advice for managing your multi-channel sales from e-commerce and ChannelAdvisor experts.

Fresh ideas, strategies and inspiration to maximize results throughout 2009.

Opportunities to network and hear success stories from prominent online retailers.

Hear from the experts on how to distribute products across multiple online marketplaces, comparison shopping sites and search engines, drive shoppers to those products, and how to convert shoppers to customers, and increase your sales in 2009.

This year it’s being held in Raleigh, NC in the USA, and I do wish they’d use more selective marketing technology. Just why they expect a small SE Asian based seller to sacrifice a week, and thousands of dollars in costs, to travel half way round the world is beyond me. They seriously need to either look at geo-targeting their marketing, or introduce globally-regional events for far flung entrepreneurs.

Catalyst 2009 introduces “Consumer Driven e-Commerce” and is held on 28-30 April this year. Registering before January 16th costs $349.00, between January 16th and March 15th costs $399.00, and leaving it until March 16th or later will cost you $449.00, so if it’s a “must attend” for you, then get in early.
