Online Experience Expert Kelly Mooney to Explore "Digital Millennials" at Shop.org Annual Summit |
WASHINGTON, DC August 14, 2006 In today’s electronically connected world, a different type of generation leads the pack—the type that spends more time with the Internet than they do the television. At Shop.org’s Annual Summit this October, Resource Interactive President and Chief Experience Officer Kelly Mooney will present “The Digital Millennials: RU Ready,” which will focus on the direct impact this generation will have on interactive marketing and e-commerce.
Mooney is co-author of The Ten Demandments, the customer-centric business model used to align a company’s sales, marketing and online presence, and is considered an authority on consumer insights. She will address more than 2000 Internet and multichannel retail executives on Wednesday, October 11, at 8:30 a.m.
“As Gen Y begins its leap into our workforce, online retailers need to understand the underlying motivations of this group to effectively market to them,” said Shop.org Executive Director Scott Silverman. “We are very eager for Kelly Mooney to unveil her research on the digital millennials,’ a segment that has become so prevalent in today’s online retail industry.”
The Shop.org Annual Summit is the premier gathering of Internet and multichannel leaders. The Summit, which will be held October 10-12 at the Hilton New York, is designed as an interactive forum for Shop.org members and guests to gather for networking, strategizing, fact-finding and education in a non-commercial atmosphere.
