Panel Discussion: Retail Marketing, Merchandising, and Optimization. Retailers are modernizing Signage and Touchpoints both inside and outside of the store; and modernizing the physical retail environment in many other ways: Digital Menu Board; Digital Play-Stations, Mobile Apps, Social apps, Digitizing the POS, inlane sales. Lotteries are meeting the expectations of the modern consumer for digital tools that personalize the messaging and enhance the shopping experience. How can Lottery apply these Point-of-Sale tools to “up-sell” and otherwise get the attention of, and engage the shopper in the store? How can technology and POS tools be used to make it easier for the consumer to understand the portfolio of different products and make their selection? What else are progressive Lotteries doing to modernize, support their retail partners, and engage their players?

Panel Discussion: Forging the Digital Connection with Consumers Progressive U.S. lotteries are leveraging the massive traffic they have on their websites to build the digital relationship with the players that is the foundation for long-term success. Consumers now expect seamless hand-offs between technology and in-store visits. Heightened expectations for enhanced shopping experiences are driving the need for lotteries to leverage all consumer touch-points in unprecedented ways. Building digital relationships with players through website traffic, loyalty programs, and second chance promotions is part of the process. Integrating that with in-store digital vehicles like Branded Gift Cards and Player Payment and awards solutions and further digitizing the retail shopping experience is another part. What is being done to optimize the potential of these efforts? What are the measures of success? How can lotteries’ digital connection be used to drive retail foot traffic, and how can that be leveraged to further drive retailer commitment and increase lottery sales?

Panel Discussion: Multi-State Collaboration: A cornerstone to modernization is to work together to standardize business process, procedure, and technologies across jurisdictional boundaries. Significant progress has been made, and the industry is on the cusp of important breakthroughs. How are costs, responsibilities, and authority allocated when the costs and benefits vary by jurisdiction? What are the governance issues that need to be addressed? How are these being applied to implementation of API and to further meet the needs of multi-state retailers? How might the community of lotteries share resources for nation-wide (or at least multi-jurisdictional) branding, messaging, advertising, and promotion, and capture and organization of data for NASPL Matrix, etc.?
