Keynote Systems and RIS Schedule Webinar

Keynote Systems, a supplier of on-demand mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions, and RIS (Retail Info Systems) News, a retail publication devoted to providing business and technology insights to retailers, announced a webinar for retailers entitled, "Holiday Primer - Prepare Your Online Channel to Maximize Profits," to be held on Thursday, August 20th from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET.

According to company officials, in this webinar, Steve Rowen, managing partner at Retail Systems Research and Paul Kohler, product marketing manager at Keynote will be joined by Phil Kenney, vice president of information systems at Hot Topic. The event will be moderated by Joseph Skorupa, group editor-in-chief at RIS News. The panelists will share knowledge and experience regarding the critical steps retailers must take to ensure their Web site applications, transactions and pages are equipped to attract and retain peak load during the end of year holiday shopping season.

"Last year's holiday season dropped a big chunk of anthracite into the stockings of most retailers. Fortunately, economic indicators have improved since then. Or have they?" said Joseph Skorupa. "The buzz I hear from retailers is the 2009 holiday season is one of the most anticipated and uncertain sales cycles they have faced in decades. As a result, they want to know if growth will return with Santa or if it will skip Christmas and arrive after the New Year in 2010? By attending this joint RIS/Keynote Systems webinar retailers will hear first-hand how to prepare their online channels for maximum success this holiday season. This is a not to be missed free event!"
