To help online retailers prepare for and prosper during the 2010 holiday shopping season, the GSI Center for Online Retail Excellence (CORE) will share strategic insight and pragmatic tips via a live webinar, “10 Keys to Winning this Holiday Season,” and a comprehensive Holiday Planning Guide. The hour-long webinar will be held on August 31 and on September 15 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

The holiday season can account for 25-40 percent of retailers' annual revenues, making it a critical period for engaging shoppers and driving sales — which is particularly challenging in an uncertain economy. Webinar host Jeff McCall, senior vice president of Strategy Services for GSI Commerce Inc., will discuss the state of online retailing for the upcoming holiday season, offering tactical tips and a best practices checklist that will help retailers move easily from concepts to planning. Retailers interested in attending the webinar may register at the CORE website.

“There simply is no silver bullet to succeeding at holiday nor any need to reinvent the wheel each holiday season,” said McCall. “Instead, retailers need to have a comprehensive foundation they can build on and then fine tune their online strategy to address changing customer, economic, and competitive forces. Having this type of solid foundation — coupled with ample advance planning — can make the difference between prospering and faltering.”
