FitForCommerce ran 18 tours on 23 topics and added one-on-one White Glove Tours.
As Shop.org‘s Annual Summit continues to grow, both in size and in content, it was clear that the popular Expo Hall Tours that were run by FitForCommerce last year should be brought back for 2009. Each started with a presentation by the FitForCommerce analyst, including an overview, best practices, pitfalls and good examples, and ended with attendees being escorted to the appropriate exhibitors. Not surprising given the economy, the most popular tours were focused on ways to increase the number of visitors and conversions: Search Engine Marketing, Promotions & Loyalty and Affiliate Marketing. Also popular were tours on new topics such as Social Media and Mobile Commerce.

Internet Retailer & FitForCommerce to host exhibit hall navigation desk to help attendees find
the solutions they seek
This year's Internet Retailer Exhibit Hall features exhibits from 326
e-commerce solution providers—easily the largest display of e-commerce
technology ever assembled. Because of its size—130,000 square feet—the
Hall can be a formidable navigation challenge. To help you make the
most of your search for e-retailing solutions you are looking for, IRCE
has contracted with FitforCommerce to operate an Exhibit Hall
Navigation Booth at the entrance of the Exhibit Hall. There,
FitforCommerce professionals will provide assistance to attendees in
making the most their visit to the Exhibit Hall, including helpful maps
of the Hall that pinpoint the location of the various categories of
e-commerce solutions and other valuable eCommerce best practices.

video by FitForCommerce "What is Web 2.0? Is it overused and outdated?"
FitForCommerce asks and eCommerce experts speak out (act out?!) about

"From
Entrepreneur to an Enterprise" Workshop day at IRCE sponsored by
FitForCommerce
The path from entrepreneur or small e-business to enterprise is a
challenging and ever-shifting one that few people and organizations
make successfully. Yet, the online industry is growing at such a rapid
pace that everyone can't afford NOT to think about growth strategies
and tactics. This full-day session is sponsored by FitForCommerce
because we believe that understanding and planning for the growth
factor will lead to capitalization of growth, not just handling growth.
Attendees will learn and share with the session experts and each other.

CEO
Bernardine Wu to host and speak at Online Market World
While e-marketers, e-merchandisers and CX managers are focused on the
storefront customer experience, the eCommerce/technology manager needs
to keep the engine going flawlessly while providing flexibility and
adeptness to offer up the customer experiences and eCommerce
capabilities needed to stay competitive. FitForCommerce CEO, Bernardine
Wu, will be hosting a multi-session module which will cover the
relevant topics which eCommerce/technology professionals care about
including those that keep us up at night (e.g. hosting, scalability and
reliability) and those that give the competitive advantage (e.g.
features, functions, systems). Sessions include: "eCommerce 'Must Have'
and 'Should Have' Capabilities for the Small, Medium and Growing Online
Company", "How to Choose a Technology Provider/Partner", and "Best
Practices in eCommerce Implementations, Whether In-House, Licensed,
On-Demand or a Hybrid".
