Hi all. I do this with apprehension because I learnt my lesson long ago about promoting anything on this website[:I]! However, I do this with the most sincerest of good intentions. I'm involved with organising a local business exhibition on the 27th September. It's free to attend and lasts all day long. I really wanted to get as many local retailers along as possible and have organised an ecommerce expert to do a seminar. She's extremely well respected in the web and design industry and has built sites for major corporates and micro businesses. I know a lot of Hertford retailers use these forums hence my posting this message. Here's her seminar summary: Selling online - A how to guide for Independent Retailers Kelly Molson of Rubber Cheese will talk you through some of the steps you’ll need to think about if you’re planning to sell online. This session is a must attend if you are considering setting up an online store, are responsible for your brand presence online or are struggling to compete with eCommerce stores of your competitors. Kelly will outline the simple steps you need to take to sell online. In this session we’ll look at; Pre-planning & setting objectives Finding a supplier Selecting the right e-commerce platform Design & usability Accepting payments online Online marketing strategy I hope this doesn't upset anyone, I just thought some may appreciate coming along to learn something from a local expert about a subject that could help their business. The reason it's in Ware rather than Hertford is solely because of parking restrictions, but it's focused on business within the 2 towns.
