SnapRetail’s Market Seminars Made Fun, Interactive with ‘SnapBallot’ Polling System Allows Seminar Attendees to Instantly Give Feedback

SnapRetail, a technology company that provides the only integrated marketing and sales solution to drive increased sales and store traffic for local retailers, will add an interactive polling system called “SnapBallot” to their upcoming seminars at winter markets.

SnapBallot, a software used for the first time in the gift and home industry, collects seminar audience responses from handheld keypads using software designed by a leading audience response company. Polling questions are incorporated into the seminar slides and are displayed with music and a time limit for attendees to enter in their answers. Answers are then displayed in a graph to be discussed further, making SnapBallot a truly collaborative and visual experience.

“We are very excited to see what SnapBallot can teach us about our ever-changing industry,” said SnapRetail Director of Social Media Crystal Vilkaitis. “This software is both fun and insightful, with the ability to tell us more about the needs and views of retailers than ever before. This is the kind of advancement that changes the entire landscape of an industry.”

Results from the retailer polling will be published after the seminars.

SnapRetail will host seminars at AmericasMart, Atlanta from Jan. 11 to Jan. 15; at Dallas Market Center from Jan. 19 to Jan. 22; and at World Market Center, Las Vegas from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2. Five all-new seminar topics will be offered:

• A Perfect Match: Integrating Social Media & Email Marketing to Increase Foot Traffic
• How Independent Retailers Can Make Money Using Daily Offers
• Retailer Rally, Come Learn Social Media Strategies from Your Peers!
• 3 Retailers Share Their Marketing Secrets for Great Campaigns
• Proven Retailer Success Using Social Media. How They Did It and How You Can Too!

All seminars are free and open to retailers. Seminar times can be viewed at www.snapretail.com/seminars.
