OPRAH SHOW SYDNEY MEETUP

Oprah Sydney MeetupI am so excited to be organising the first Sydney Oprah Meetup!
Inspired by the callout from The Oprah Show http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Meet-Up-with-Viewers-to-Discuss-Education I am organising this event with a social media focus so that we can share it beyond the room we will be in.

The meeting will focus on the questions raised by Oprah and her team about Education, which we will discuss in the Australian framework.

I will update you as we go but here are the links so far:

14 SEPTEMBER 2010
SOCIAL MEDIA WOMEN’S MEETING – I’M GUEST SPEAKER

Social Media WomenI am going to be venting a little at our September meeting – “Show me the TROLLEY!! Practical E-Commerce Tips”

Websites and Shopping Trolleys are essential for EVERY business. There are so many options and decision to be made that make it harder to get started.

You can add a shopping cart to your site whether you are selling one item, for example an e-book, or multiple products.  But where do you start and how much money do you have to spend.

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?

I draw on over 20 years experience in retail and my own experience with Paper Magnolia to help retailers and business people create integrated marketing solutions online and offline as owner at Magnolia Solutions.

Last year, I set myself the challenge of finding a super low cost solution to get Paper Magnolia started selling online.  I knew what I wanted as a customer but the journey I embarked on as a seller was unexpected and not as straight forward as I thought it would be.

I hope my experience will help others start off on the right foot.

Hope you see you there!! 🙂
