Roundtable Details How Real-Time Marketing Drives Revenue Lift on Retail Web Sites

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of eTail West 2010, a major conference for retail and e-commerce executives, the CEO of Philadelphia-based Monetate, David Brussin, will host a roundtable during the "Email Marketing and Personalization Summit."

"Right now we see social media, smartphones, and real-time search engines having a huge impact on online commerce," says Brussin. "The biggest implication for your online business is the need to conduct as much marketing as possible in real time."

Explains Brussin: "For marketers, real-time marketing means having the capability to change and test anything, anywhere on your web site, for any customer, instantly, and without waiting on the I.T. department."

Monetate has delivered this capability for several years with Monetate Real-time Marketer, a product currently used on a wide range of retail sites, including those of Tafford Uniforms.

Tafford's VP of Marketing, David Kaplan, will join Brussin at the roundtable to discuss how segmentation and targeting in real time can drive revenue on retail web sites.

"Real-time marketing makes a big difference for us and our customers," says Kaplan. "It means they see relevant content on every visit, which makes their site experience all the more compelling. We can make sure of that because we can target content by behavior, location, source, or any traffic segment we choose."

According to Kaplan, real-time personalization of content translates into better conversion rates, which in turn spell higher revenue from the company's web sites.

Adds Brussin, "We're proud to be an eTail sponsor and facilitate the sharing of practical e-commerce advice in this roundtable format."

Conference attendees can learn more about Monetate Real-time Marketer at Booth 64 in the eTail Exhibit Hall.
