With the Miva Merchant conference 2011 date coming up, you are probably wondering how to make the most of your time at the conference this year. Most people attend business conferences with some type of strategy or goals in mind, whether that is to network or to learn more about specific topics.
There are few things that you can do to make the most of any conference, such as bringing your business card to hand out during networking sessions, taking concise notes during sessions, and planning out the sessions that you will attend in advance whenever possible.
What you may not have realized though, is the importance of one-on-one site reviews. These 15-minute sessions, included with the price of conference admission, provide the unique opportunity for merchants to sit down with Miva Merchant web developers and ecommerce experts and receive personalized advice and recommendations.
You’ll also learn basic SEO tips, ecommerce best practices and, probably most importantly, how to increase site conversion rates. If you’re planning on signing up for a site review, take the time before the conference to write down some of the questions that you have, and don’t forget to bring your notes to the session.
Many past conference attendees have said that their one on one site review was the most helpful part of their conference experience.
“I think the one on one session I’m going to have tomorrow is going to be my favorite,” said 2010 conference attendee Neil Stratton of Blue Sky Sales. “It’s going to knock me down, but it is also going to inspire me to do better. That’s why I came to the Miva Merchant conference.”
