There's no one right way to have a digital marketing strategy. What works for a furniture retailer in Dallas might not work for another in Denver.
But if you're looking for ways to amp up your strategy, look no further than Las Vegas Market. The winter 2019 edition has some great e-commerce seminars lined up, and the topics will help furniture retailers navigate the ever-changing world of e-commerce and carve out a space for themselves online.
Here are three e-commerce seminars not to be missed at Las Vegas Market.
How A.I. can Increase e-Commerce and In-Store Sales
If you've been following coverage from the Consumer Electronics Show and the National Retail Federation's Big Show earlier this month, then you know how technology is playing a bigger role in the retail space, and it's not exclusively for online-only players. But it's not about having robots in-store or self-checkout lanes. Automation, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), can help increase e-commerce and in-store sales — if used effectively.
In this seminar, Scott Hill from Perq will discuss how a streamlined, multi-channel marketing strategy can boost website conversions, gather and nurture leads, increase traffic and track consumer data all at once. With this data, furniture stores will better understand what their customers are buying, how they're buying and how to best reach them.
Location: Retailer Resource Center, Building B, B-1050

Time: 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
