SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- DemandTec, Inc. (Nasdaq: DMAN), global provider of merchandising, sales, and marketing optimization solutions for retailers and consumer products companies, today announced that Marc Dietz, Vice President of Marketing at DemandTec, and Steve Gray, Chairman of emnos, a leading provider of customer-centric analytics, will be jointly speaking at the World Retail Congress on October 25, 2010 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Berlin, Germany.
In a presentation titled "The End of the Average Customer," DemandTec and emnos will discuss how retailers can better define a customer segmentation strategy and execute that strategy by optimizing merchandising and marketing tactics to bring more shoppers into their stores, enhance loyalty, increase the frequency of shopper visits, influence shoppers to buy more while they are in the store, and ultimately drive increases in sales, volume, and margin. The presentation is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Berlin.

"Together, DemandTec and emnos offer retailers a comprehensive set of services covering segmentation strategy through execution of a customer-centric merchandising and marketing plan," said Steve Gray, Chairman of emnos.
