October 25, 2023

Dealers using Cumulus Retail enhance compliance and embrace a digital strategy

Iselin, NJ (October 25, 2023) – Celerant Technology, a leading retail software provider for the firearms industry, recently wrapped up its 3rd annual client conference for dealers using Cumulus Retail. This year’s theme was ‘All Things Digital,’ and the virtual conference focused on important topics such as streamlining ATF compliance, how to sell more products in-store and online without stocking the merchandise, and making the most of the Cumulus Retail software.

"We first started hosting our conferences for dealers using our Cumulus Retail software back in 2021, when it was imperative that they embrace online sales and a more digital strategy, considering the industry at that time. Fast forward three years, that trend continues and is now at the forefront for most of our firearms dealers. Our annual conferences are an opportunity to educate and empower our dealers to embrace a more digital strategy.”

Ian Goldman, President and CEO of Celerant Technology

In addition to tracks dedicated to in-store and online retail, this year’s conference offered a track dedicated entirely to sportsman retailers. Topics ranging from how to sell more products with less effort as a result of distributor integrations, eliminating paper and storing e4473’s in the cloud, new functionality to support manufacturing for Type 7 FFLs, and more were available.

Plus sessions such as expanding your online presence, ranking your website closer to page one on Google, sending more effective, personalized emails based on triggers in the software, and the new mobile apps for sales and range operations. Hosted by Celerant’s team of expert software trainers, each session was designed to help dealers be more competitive in today’s modern retail world and the years ahead.

In line with the event’s theme of ‘All Things Digital’, Celerant surprised three lucky winners with a kick-start to enhancing their digital strategy. Trigger LLC won a free mobile app for an entire year, Worth Firearms won free SEO (search engine optimization) services for 6 months, and Sheridan Decorating won integrated free email marketing for 3 months!

“We love all the industry-specific information that we get from the client conference. This year, we even won the mobile app giveaway and are very excited to get working on it!”
