Short Hills, NJ (PRWEB) October 5, 2009
For the second year, FitForCommerce powered the Expo Hall Group Tours at a successful Shop.org Annual Summit, and added personalized one-on-one consultations for attendees needing to assess their ecommerce technologies and find potential solutions.
FitForCommerce organized 23 tours covering 18 topics, ranging from online marketing and merchandising to ecommerce platforms and order managements systems to mobile commerce and social media. FitForCommerce analysts first briefed attendees on key trends, best practices, and solutions, including specific potential pitfalls, benchmarking stats and visual best practice examples. Attendees were then escorted to each relevant exhibitor to hear a brief pitch.
“If it weren’t for FitForCommerce, I would have wasted so much time wandering the Expo Hall and possibly wasting a lot of money making wrong provider decisions,” said Nathan Nguyen, President of InstrumentalSavings.com. “It’s priceless to have unbiased friends like them on your side.”
The most popular tours, Search Engine Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, and Promotions & Loyalty Programs, focused on ways retailers could increase traffic, conversions, and repeat customers. Social Media and Mobile Commerce also captured the attention of retailers looking to leverage iPhone, Facebook and Twitter, among other channels.
“White Glove Tours,” which offered in-depth, one-on-one consultations, were also leveraged by many attendees. “The consultation and tour by FitForCommerce really helped me narrow down my choices based on what I was looking for and what I needed,” said Angela Cho, Marketing & Ecommerce Manager of Agacistore.com. “They provided me with insightful insider information that I wouldn’t have been able to get on my own and helped diagnose the issues and identify multiple solutions.”
“Shop.org was proud to offer this unique assistance to attendees to maximize their time and experience at the conference. The tours also help bring interested attendees to the right companies who invested time and effort in exhibiting,” said Scott Silverman, Executive Director of Shop.org. “We’re thrilled with the customer satisfaction driven by the tours and FitForCommerce team and look forward to enhancing the experience even more next year.”
