AUSTIN, Texas--()--Compare Metrics, the leading provider of Adaptive Commerce navigation and discovery tools, today announced that CEO Garrett Eastham will participate on a panel titled “Making Your Web Experience More Relevant and Targeted Using Personalization Tools” on March 4 at the 2014 eTail West Conference in San Antonio, Texas. The panel also includes T.J. Gentle, president and CEO of Smartfurniture.com, Ryan Bonifacino, VP Digital Strategy of Alex + Ani, and Jennie Bell, executive director of global e-commerce for Origins and Ojon, The Estee Lauder Companies.

The session will highlight recommended personalization tools and a discussion on when and where in the e-commerce experience personalization capabilities can offer retailers the highest return on investment. Panel attendees will learn which tools are the most effective, new emerging tools, areas of their website that are best suited for personalization features, how to test the implementations, and strategies for content production that fuel personalization tools.

Consumers can use their own natural language to express personal preferences and style rather than terminology driven by standardized merchandising keywords. These efforts result in improved relevancy and efficiency in demand generation and a more tailored and personalized marketing strategy for a wide array of retailers. Garrett will speak to his knowledge on delivering this unique discovery experience for online shoppers.
