"Your Dad's Wallet -- Your Customer's Wallet" e-Payment Seminar, speaker Erin Fonté

Speaking Engagements

11.14.12

A customer steps up to the point-of-sale, pulls out their smart phone, and says “Can I pay and use my loyalty card with this?” Can your company handle the payment, or do you lose the sale?

Your customer receives monthly bills and calls customer service and says “Can I pay you through my bank’s picture pay function?” Are you ready to accept that payment?

A fundamental shift is underway, as game-changing as checks and credit cards were in the past, in how people shop, redeem coupons, pay for products, and accrue loyalty/reward points. Many established and start-up companies want to sell you the holy grail of commerce – payment/loyalty and rewards/gift card acceptance, all rolled into one, with targeted and location-based advertising, and rich back-end analytics and reporting – all for a low, low price.

Make sure that your business is ready to navigate this shift to be flexible for your customer’s preferences, to make sure payments to your company remain fast, safe and secure, and to take advantage new advertising channel opportunities.

Topics covered will include:

* Mobile payments/mobile wallets and what it means for the future of getting paid
* Adding on virtual loyalty/rewards and gift cards to existing programs
* Benefits and pitfalls of the mobile advertising channel (and watch the privacy issues)
* Choosing a mobile payment vendor or mobile channel partner
