INTRODUCTIONS (9:30AM – 9:45AM)


I. Motivating Complex Purchase Decisions at Retail (9:45AM – 10:30AM)
Understanding mobile phone space is complex.  Purchase barriers are based on contract dates, complicated carrier plans, expensive devices and long purchase processes.  This is not an impulse purchase.  And not all marketing tactics deliver desired outcomes.  Getting past legacy systems, company culture and uncovering consumer needs and pain points combined with understanding data behind marketing effectiveness has helped Best Buy rapidly grow in the mobile phone space as the leading national retailer.  Understanding the ROI on marketing levers has been a key pillar to this growth, but it has to be combined with personalized tactics based on specific customer behaviors and insights to be effective.  Join us to learn more about using consumer insights, marketing effectiveness data to drive a time based purchase.

Jennie Weber, Sr. Director – Category Marketing, Best Buy
