Caroline's challenge is to convert website visitors into retail shoppers. Learn how she optimizes their spend on search in order to drive traffic and sales to the brick and mortar stores in their outlet shopping centers. Developing sales promotions, recognizing that coupon downloads are not a standalone Key Performance Indicator and focusing attention on strategic marketing objectives is all in a day's work. Conversion is conversion, but Caroline's perspective is far wider than the shopping cart.
