Website & E-commerce: Set-Up & Beyond  Tips, Trends & Ideas
with Nancy Georges “The Retail Miss Fix-it”

 

Over $43 billion dollars was spent online by Australians in 2010 > 40% of that went overseas!  75% of Australian Households have the internet, giving Australian Retailers an easy path into their customers’ homes.

 

Online presence, E-commerce and Social Media are now necessary in every retailer’s marketing strategy. A website and online store are no longer an optional extra – they are a vital necessity.

 

Technology is driving our businesses more than ever. Nancy will give you the information to get you started and to define the world that we are now operating in.  Websites and Online Stores are essential for EVERY business. There are so many options and decisions to be made which make it harder to get started. Once you have the cart you need to ensure it is future proof.

 

Your Online-Store needs to be an extension of your existing fabulous Customer Service,  so what questions do you need to ask yourself?  Shopping Cart format sorted? What about the payment gateways and options available to you? What is the best one for your needs?

 

Integrating the website to your social media & offline activity is as important as the site itself!.  What are the Dos & Don’ts?  Nancy will discuss her own experiences with a wide range of products and services.
