Despite growth in
e-commerce, online transactions represented only 2 percent of U.S.
retail spending last year. However, consumers are increasingly adopting
the Internet to find information about local products and services. More
and more, consumers shop online, but they still buy offline by huge
margins.
That’s why 475
executive-level attendees convened at Drilling Down on
Local, April 18-20, 2005, in Santa Clara, California, to
investigate the online-offline opportunity for interactive local media.
From IPTV and
wireless, to local search and online classifieds, the speakers candidly
discussed the local market opportunity and the challenges of capturing
small-business advertising dollars. Conference highlights included
provocative keynotes from A9.com CEO Udi Manber, Hearst SVP Lincoln
Millstein and Sprint VP Paul Reddick.
