Conversion Commerce
Hotel Cafe Royal , London, England, W1B 4DY
London
Summary
London 2019
In 2019 online conversion is arguably the greatest of all challenges for brands selling direct to consumers. Maximising every investment in generating demand from new and existing customers is critical - not only due to the explosion in marketing channels, but also because of the changes in device types and payment regulations coming in 2020.
Our morning conference we took some of the key issues and dissected them - as always with speakers who are at the top of their game and who were willing to share their experiences.
- Optimising conversion by channel - How do you prioritise your time and investment?
- Payment - which choices do you make to improve customer experience by channel and by territory?
- Good v Bad conversion - Can you spot the signs of a return before despatch?
- Mobile and Social - How do you truly optimise these co-existing platforms
