| 9:30 - 10:30 AM | Creating A Customer-Centric Organization In 2005, a NRF Foundation/AMEX survey asked American consumers, Who gave them extraordinary customer service? Overstock.com did not appear among the top 150 American retailers. In January, 2006 Overstock.com decided to make our company customer-centric by making Customer Care the senior department to the entire company, and putting our most hard-headed executive in charge of the department. Customer Care knew where all the bones were buried, and we let their knowledge drive our programs to fix various processes in the company. Overstock.com quickly moved from not scoring in the top 150 to scoring #4 two years in a row. In 2008, we became the #2 retailer in the USA for Customer Service and #1 in Customer Respect. As we move into the future the customer is taking an even more important role within the company, driving the experience on the website and the products we source and sell. Patrick M. Byrne, Chairman & CEO Overstock.com |

| 1:45 – 2:45 PM | The Mobile Revolution The future of online is in offline – making physical stores interactive via mobile. Applications that drive foot traffic to stores, make targeted offers and provide better in-store information to consumers. Mobile phones are the only interactive medium consumers carry with them in a non-interactive physical store. Consumers are craving digital support. Offline retail influenced by online activity (i.e. look online, but buy offline) is 4 times larger than the entire e-commerce market combined (incl. Amazon.com); it’s an $800 billion market today, and is growing at 19% per year, while e-commerce is growing at 12% per year. In 2012, 40% of all retail sales in the U.S. will be influenced by online activity. That is a very large opportunity for retailers that “get” it; but the more important insight is that mobile is a much more immediate online tool for offline shopping than the PC (who carries a PC into a store to do research?). Cyriac Roeding will look at the mobile advertising market, and how that influences retail. After the presentation Brett Hurt will interview Cyriac Roeding.

| Room: Van Dongen | E-commerce Strategies "eCommerce was until recently an 'add-on' for many organisations. However, its growing importance means that it is challenging established notions of 'doing business'. Multichannel, cross-channel and m-channels all push the internal structures; social media, affiliate networks and publishers all challenge our approaches to customers and our brand, and never has the future and customer attitudes been more difficult to divine. In this context how do organisations set a strategy for eCommerce at the heart of their business? Who are the exemplars and what lessons can be learned?" Ian Jindal, founder of Ian Jindal Company & founder and head editor, InternetRetailing.net newsletter |
| Room: Van Dongen | Multichannel retailing The global digital economy works in a new multichannel landscape. Adaptability and efficiency are key for businesses to thrive in it – but what must they adapt to?
