21st November 2012, Sydney Australia - In the past few years, online retailers have embraced social media, integrated their websites with increasingly diverse payment systems and better optimised their websites for use on mobile platforms. Yet with e-commerce a constantly shifting environment, what can consumers expect to see from best-in-class e-tailers in 2013? Greater personalisation? More content? Wider use of mobile? Curated commerce? Location-based services? More video?

More importantly, what does this mean for digital marketing in the e-commerce space? In today’s fast-moving e-tail environment, how do marketers deliver relevant campaigns that target, capture, engage, convince and convert consumers? This panel aims to answer those questions.

• Understand how to leverage new channels to provide unique, valuable, worthwhile content that makes users want to engage – and spend – with you

• Learn why it makes sense to focus on making the relationship between social media, mobile and e-commerce as seamless as possible
