Speaker Profile
Chris Benson is the Vice President of IT and CTO of The Audio Partners, Inc., a multi-channel direct marketer selling audiobooks through their mail-order catalog, Audio Editions Books on Cassette & CD®, and their e-commerce site, www.AudioEditions.com. With nearly 20 years experience at Audio Partners, he has had roles in marketing, merchandising, purchasing, copywriting, IT, and web development, as well as managing Novell and Windows networks, PBX and VOIP phone systems, and other mission-critical infrastructure.
As the website coordinator for www.AudioEditions.com since the site's inception in 1998, Chris offers perspective on a small company's bid to appear larger by using tools such as Google Analytics and Website Optimizer to maximize their marketing budget to compete with Amazon, Audible.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and others.
He lives, works, and plays in Auburn, California, with his wife and daughter, where he writes music, Dataflex applications, and far too infrequent blog posts.
