Every hour of every day, shoppers visit stores, browse, and leave without buying, even though they had intended to—missed sales no retailer can afford to lose.

In this session, Mark Ryski, the leading authority on store traffic and shopper conversion, three-time author, and Founder & CEO of HeadCount Corporation, shares insights from his upcoming book, Store Traffic Is a Gift: The Retailer’s Guide to Converting Visits into Sales.

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Ryski reveals practical strategies to bridge the store traffic-conversion gap, adapt to post-pandemic shopping patterns, and identify Super Converting stores. These top-performing locations reveal powerful lessons for the entire chain.

Attendees will learn why store traffic is a precious resource and how it connects to nearly every operational decision.

All attendees will also receive a pre-release copy of his book Store Traffic Is a Gift.
