Do you have logo clothing such as shirts and hats, or tchotchkes such as mugs or chargers that your attendees can purchase to brag about going to your event? Using CDS’ Buy It store brings a special retail aspect to your event. The Buy It website can leverage your existing funds processing integration to launch your retail business!
Using the merchant processing account already in place for registration, it is easy to extend the sale of conference items to include hard goods and other treasures your organization has to offer attendees. The same online interface structure and business rules you already have in place can also be adapted to support an online store.
Onsite implementation of the store can be accomplished with a CDS Cyber Café, kiosk or other equipment connected to our onsite registration server. The responsive, web-based interface is flexible and easy to use onsite. A connection to a printer is required for hardcopy receipts. Items and sales are tracked in the same reporting system as registration but in separate store reports.
During the show, enthusiasm is at its peak and the ability to see and hold your retail options quickly translates into sales. Your logo items also act as a year-round reminder to your audience about the importance of your event and the value of attending.
