New sessions and “session bundles” have been added to the Ignite 2022 Session List!

To that end, we took your feedback on past events and have planned several retailer-focused breakout sessions covering a variety of topics. Check out the featured sessions below.

Going Green in Grocery: Bag Fees, e-Receipts, and Other Helpful Tips
Orca’s Food Co-op
Since 2014, eight states have banned single-use plastic bags. The state of Virginia recently passed a law allowing municipalities to choose whether they want to require stores to impose a bag tax on retail grocery, drug stores and big box stores.
Many retailers aspire to be more environmentally conscious but need ways to accomplish this goal without absorbing additional costs or impacting sales. In this session, we’ll dig into CATAPULT to highlight settings that empower retailers to “Go Green”. We’ll go over bag taxes and fees, e-receipts, and how you can leverage CATAPULT’s loyalty programs to incentivize shoppers to bring their own bags.
In this session we will cover:
- Charging a Bag Tax/Fee for customers who do not bring their own bags
- Setting up CATAPULT to force cashiers to add the bag tax before tendering out
- Setting up CATAPULT to allow for bag fees and taxes without affecting sales
- Enabling e-Receipts for your store
- Ideas for loyalty campaigns to encourage customers to “go green”

WHY TRACK
The Power of Data-Driven Decision Making
Native Sun Natural Foods Market
The CATAPULT system is driven by a goldmine of data that is collected with every system interaction. In general, data is considered one of the most valuable assets of any business, but many retailers don’t know what data they have or don’t know what to do with it.
In this retailer-led session, you’ll learn how data is collected in CATAPULT and what opportunities you have to use it to your advantage. Hear from Aaron Gottlieb, owner of Native Sun Natural Foods and founder of IBIS, on how he uses data and the impact it has on his daily decision-making.
