Converseon will be exhibiting at this year’s Internet Retailer 2006 Conference & Exhibition being held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago this June 5-7th, booth 423.

As a conversation starter for the Conference, we’re asking online merchants to think about the following:

1.Is my affiliate program (if I have one) embracing the newest techniques, technologies and strategies? (Hint: ask us about “Affiliate 2.0”)
2.How can I help ensure my affiliate program doesn’t cannibalize my other acquisition efforts?
3.Have I fully aligned my search and affiliate strategies?
4.How can blogs help significantly boost my natural SEO efforts?
5.Do I know what others are saying about my brand and products? (Hint: ask us about Conversation Miner ™)
6.How does word-of-mouth marketing fit into my acquisition strategy?
7.Are my affiliate links providing link value to boost my natural SEO efforts?
8.In an era of paid placement “inflation,” how can I better leverage natural SEO to generate “free” traffic? (Hint: ask us about “SEO 2.0”)
9.Can PR be an actual acquisition tool?
10.Are my competitors getting my search traffic?

We’d love to hear your thoughts regarding these issues, and the industry as a whole. Be sure to visit us at the Conference or email us to discuss these topics further.

Converseon was happy to be a part of the ACCM Conference May 8-10th in Chicago, the largest event of its kind for Catalog, Internet & Multichannel Merchants. Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center is quite a venue! The turnout was impressive with over 300 exhibiting companies and over 100 instructional sessions. After the whirlwind of meeting and greeting, we took a few moments at the show’s end to snap a few shots to remember the experience by.
