2: Marketing & E-Commerce - Digital (3D) Footwear Transformation Events

Track 2: Digital Marketing & E-Commerce
Once you have professionalized your digital design and prototyping workflow, the logical next step is digital or even virtual retail. In this track, we will help you answer the following questions for your organization:
How can we use 3D designs/virtual prototypes that are consumer facing for more engaging digital marketing?
How can we use 3D designs for crowdsourcing sales before shoes have been manufactured to create better inventory efficiency?
How can we best create a digital workflow that allows for customization by the consumer—for size and/or aesthetics—within our current means of production?
How can we use 3D designs to test our styles with consumers before investing in manufacturing and inventory, and to optimize pricing and assortments for each retail partner?
