Speaking at shop.org hope to see you there

Off to Vegas for shop.org and looking forward to seeing all my friends and vendors. The two topics i will talking about is “The AHA moment”

Track 3: The A-Ha Moment. Creative Out-of-the Box Marketing Concepts by Retailers

Have you ever noticed an idea or concept that made you say “I should have thought of that”! Jacob Hawkins from Overstock.com and Pinny Gniwisch from Ice.com are going to examine in detail examples of various retailers that have pushed the boundaries for traditional marketing strategy. In this interactive session, Pinny and Jacob are going to share some of their personal favorite “A-HA Moments” and debate whether they are examples of successful creative marketing or poor decision making that dilutes the brand, wastes money, and causes customer confusion.

It should be fun i just love Jacob from overstock.com, he being a 6′9″Mormon and me being a 5′9″ Jew is always a funny site and then we go at it the results have always been great.

Then I am part of a great cast of real superstars who will present “24 tactics to make you more money this week” my feeling is that this presentation will be by far the best of the conference Allan Dick from Vintagetub put it together what a gem.

eTail 2008 and Eve

I recently spoke at eTail east 2008 about the new consumer in a web 2.0 world, offering my opinion on Eve and The Apple - what went wrong with that transaction. The eTail conferences always have a myriad of great presenters and panels to learn from and it’s also the perfect opportunity to meet with like-minded retailers and share ideas.
Finally, thanks to my friend Jay Shaffer for his response to my presentation . If he enjoyed my banana peel example, wait for my next appearance at Shop.org in September, where I will share my ‘A-Ha moments’ and how to make 3 changes to better your online results for the holidays.
