What IS “eCommerce”

Back by popular demand, we are running a “What IS…” series of educational seminars and Q&A sessions with small business experts over the next 6 months:

  • October: What IS “Marketing”?
  • November: What IS “eCommerce”?
  • December: What IS “Cash-flow”?
  • February: What IS “Leadership”
Monday 12th of November, Brisbane City

What is a difference between “information” and an “eCommerce” website?

The biggest difference is cost. Wouldn’t you like to know what works, and what doesn’t, before you pay for it?

The line between the types of websites has been blurred, but it does still exist. Both are essential for a business to survive and focusing too much on one or the other also has fatal consequences for your business. A website needs to have a clear purpose.

“If you build it, they will come” does not happen in reality, or virtually!

What’s the difference?

An eCommerce website IS worth spending money on, but only if you will
get a return on your investment. Information websites don’t convert leads to sales very well, but can with some simple very specific options. Do you need both, and in fact, can you do both?

The easiest way to explain the difference is to show you, and then you can ask questions to see the difference in your situation. We’ve organised Q&A for you to come along to get tips on what you may be doing wrong. More importantly, what you are doing right.

Our panel on the night includes:

  • Daniel Brimblecombe – Marketing Division director. What is an effective “landing page”.
  • Rick Blacker – WPEngine pre-sales engineer: Scaling up your digital experience.
  • Shalini Nandah – Legally Shalini: Must have website legals.

Get advice from experts, ask them questions about what you could do, and you’ll also get a chance to put the things into practice too.
