  • 1 Online Retailer 2010 – Multichannel 2.0

    Last Updated: 29/08/2010

    The future is bright for retailers implementing cross-channel marketing strategies. A recent study by the Australian Centre for Retail Studies illustrated the Australian Consumers appetite for cross-channel communications is growing exponentially, as are customers expectations. Retailers that successfully deliver on the customers’ expectations by delivering communications in precisely the way the consumer wants, are engaging their customers and building successful brand extensions. The difficulty is remaining platform agnostic and fully-integrated as the number of channels available to consumers increases further.

    Salmat partner with many of Australia’s leading organisations to plan, deliver and refine effective cross-channel marketing strategies. This year, the Online Retailer team invited Salmat to talk about Multichannel 2.0. With first-hand experience working with many of Australia’s leading multichannel retailers, Salmat’s Executive General Manager of Sales, Ian Jones, spoke about how the multichannel environment has changed the retail equation forever. Ian also explores how the evolution of online retailing has facilitated the transition from multichannel 1.0 to 2.0, and steps through the considerations too-often overlooked by retailers ‘turning-on’ multichannel strategies.

  • 2 Online Retailer 2010 – Retail mobile applications

    Last Updated: 29/08/2010

    There is no doubt that Australian’s love their smart-phones. This Christmas Google predicts that approximately one quarter of all Australian retail searches online will be performed on a mobile device. With constraints like screen size, loading times and limited multimedia capability however, how can retailers take advantage of the somewhat limited, but increasingly important, mobile landscape?

    Salmat National Sales Manager Sean McDonell and Customer Insights and Search Manager Damien Donnelly put Australia’s retail mobile device applications to the test at this year’s Online Retailer. In their presentation 'Killer Retail Apps', Sean and Damien discuss what opportunities exist for retailers looking to extend their brand into mobile applications, what makes a great application, and what type of application will add significant value to the customer experience.
