Pre-conference Workshops

MONDAY
11:00am - 12:30pm EST

Workshop One: e-Circulars

Master the skills needed to build effective, impactful, profit-propelling electronic circulars (e-Circulars) that will persuade your customers to keep coming back through your doors. "Brick" and "click" commerce have converged and advertising must adapt. Today’s e-Circulars are an answer to paper flyers of years past. Consumers now spend far more time online than they do flipping through newspapers. For retailers, that's a good thing.

Electronic ads typically cost far less when it comes to distribution... and design too. Other benefits include reduced environmental impact, the ability to automate certain processes, and perhaps most valuable of all: it's data-driven. As your data grows, you can learn more about your consumers and more effectively appeal to them in your ads.

In this workshop, you'll help design, from inception to completion, an e-Circular worthy of your brand and your customers. You'll unlock the game-changing benefits that e-Circulars can bring to your business, making the most out of CATAPULT’s robust Loyalty platform.

Workshop Two: CATAPULT® WebCart™

Prerequisite: You must have a CATAPULT WebCart license to attend this workshop.

ECRS' CATAPULT WebCart allows retailers to step seamlessly into the digital realm and turn e-commerce ambitions into action. And with physical and digital commerce rapidly converging, the time to harness WebCart's power is now.

Retailers who attend this workshop will be able to move past simply talking about their need for a robust e-commerce operation. In this workshop, retailers can expect to:

• Lay the groundwork with actionable takeaways to build their store’s WebCart.
• Create an appealing WebCart with expert design tips (it can even match their store’s current website!).
• Review the nuts and bolts of setting up web store operations, including customer self-boarding and information management.

It's important to note that WebCart's functionality can be rolled out as-needed, rather than in one big-bang implementation. Each retailer’s needs and implementation timelines are unique, so this workshop allows for flexibility on how the groundwork is laid.
