Even during difficult economic times, consumers still shop online. In fact, that will probably be the place they will shop most in an effort to save money rather than going to the "brick and mortar" stores. Therefore, it is important to reach these customers cost-effectively and then build long-term relationships with them so that you maximize the ROI on your marketing spend.

During this 45 minute Webinar, buySAFE and MerchantAdvantage will provide precise steps any online retailer can take to reach and convert those consumers that are most likely to become a repeat customer during the Holiday season and beyond.

Online shopping, whether on a laptop or mobile device, continues to be the preferred way to reach new customers, build your brand, and gain customer loyalty. As part of MerchantAdvantage’s A.M.M.O for 2008 series, October’s Webinar with co-host buySAFE will:

• Show online retailers how to stay ahead of the competition by identifying, targeting and converting the most valuable Internet shoppers
• Outline 4 phases using the "right" marketing channels to reach high-value shoppers during the Holidays to increase sales
• Show online retailers how they can present their e-commerce products in front of millions of shoppers
• Prove and show how any online retailer can afford to implement alternative, multi-channel marketing methods
• Highlight a Case Study by buySAFE: "How buySAFE Increases Sales, Order Size, and Profitability"

Join us for this insightful 45 minute MerchantAdvantage Webinar presented by Chip Arndt, EVP & Co-founder of MerchantAdvantage with Tim Woda, Vice President, Business Development & Sales, of buySAFE.
