SLI Systems Hosts Free Webinar to Help E-commerce Sites Prepare for the Holidays

Discussion to provide tips and real-world examples of how to simplify holiday shopping through improved Ecommerce Site Search (http://www.sli-systems.com/site-search.php)

Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2009 -- SLI Systems, provider of on-demand, intelligent search services for Internet and e-commerce sites, announced today that it will offer a free webinar to help e-commerce site managers ready their online storefronts for the holidays.

The webinar, titled "Search, Find, Buy, Give - Simplifying Holiday Gifting for Your Visitors by Improving E-commerce Site Search," will take place at 1:00-1:30 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The discussion will be led by SLI Vice President of Business Development Ed Hoffman.

The webinar is intended to help e-commerce companies maximize the potential for visitors to find what they're shopping for and make a purchase, by improving their site search experience. Research (http://www.sli-systems.com/survey-shows-shoppers-abandon-ecommerce-sites-within-minutes.php) conducted by SLI shows that 73% of customers will leave a site within two minutes if they can't find what they're searching for. Additionally, a 2008 MarketingSherpa report states that people who use site search convert at two to three times the rate of those who don't.

"In the webinar we'll demonstrate simple things e-commerce site managers can do to give their sites a holiday look and feel and showcase special holiday promotions, to improve click-throughs and conversions," said Hoffman. "We'll also point to examples of online retail sites that have incorporated effective search and navigation features - such as a gift finder, appropriate category refinements and the ability to remember personal preferences - to show attendees how to improve their site search and make it easier for customers to search, find, buy and give."

Anyone interested in registering for the SLI holiday webinar can do so by visiting https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/481439930. Additionally, Hoffman will critique several sites during the live webinar. Anyone who's interested in having their site reviewed can submit their site for consideration during registration.
