Celerant Technology, the #1-rated retail software provider for 2023, recently wrapped up its 19th annual client conference in Marietta, GA. With today’s digital explosion, this year’s conference focused heavily on helping gun shops and ranges adapt a complete digital strategy to be more competitive, and expand business across all retail channels.

Key Topics at Celerant’s 2023 Client Conference

Celerant’s CEO & President, Ian Goldman, kicked off the conference with a warm ‘Welcome Address’ highlighting the importance of going digital, and what it takes for dealers to win in today’s retail landscape. Over the 3-day conference, Celerant offered a brand new ‘Retailer Boot Camp’, and hosted 25+ breakouts, interactive workshops and one-on-one sessions. This year’s conference offered sessions focused on eCommerce, search engine optimization (SEO), mobile shopping and range apps, and digital marketing; Celerant also offered several sessions to help retailers improve in-store and range operations, including mobile inventory, distributor integrations, ATF compliance, and back office accounting, and much more.

“It was great to see everyone in-person at our 19th annual client conference. As the industry continues to shift to online and mobile sales, it’s vital for our dealers to learn how to embrace a digital strategy or risk becoming obsolete; and that’s exactly what our conference provided. An impressive 75% of this year’s attendees are using our eCommerce platform, up from 50% last year, and we expect that number to increase. Our goal was to help our dealers go beyond eCommerce sales, and help them develop strategies to meet their customers’ needs everywhere they want to connect.”
