While these have been trying times for many catalog companies and eTailers, there are certain tenets that remain relevant to how we engage with our customers. Questions like hardcopy vs. electronic channels and measurability remain at the forefront of many marketers.
In this session, we will discuss the customer journey and look at powerful reasons why catalogs should be an integral part of your marketing strategy. We will cover recent research findings and tools for marketers to create engagement that connects and delivers – even during COVID.
Catalogs remain one of the most effective marketing tools. This session is not about a competition between digital and print. It’s about engaging with customers that satisfies them and your company’s bottom line.

SEO in 2021 and Beyond – Website Optimization in an Ever-Changing Landscape
While 93% of online experiences start with search (e.g. Google, Bing), most web pages (91%) get NO search traffic. So while search is clearly vital to driving site visits, most sites are not optimized for search.
During this session you will learn how Google is altering its highly complex search algorithms and what website owners and webmasters should do to ensure your company’s website is as SEO friendly and as compliant as possible.
We will cover topics such as how to conduct an audit of your website’s SEO health, what tools are vital to have at your disposal, how to troubleshoot certain aspects of SEO and how to optimize your content for determining how Google and other search technologies will showcase search results in the future.
