The E-Commerce Club - helping grow your online business
Ever felt alone and don’t know who to turn to for help or advice on running an online business?
If you feel like that or are simply baffled by all the jargon and different promises made by different agencies, then the E-commerce Club is here to help.
Launched in October 2006, the e-commerce club was set-up to help online businesses develop and grow their e-commerce websites. Having ran their own e-commerce business for 3 years, in one of the hardest possible industry, Computer Parts, Studio 2 Online learnt a lot about what works and what doesn’t work online. They then spent several years helping many other businesses develop and build their online stores. They continue to do this with their clients, but also wanted to help other companies that weren’t their clients.
Just some of the challenges they faced, and have learnt from include:
- Managing a catalogue over 120,000 different products
- Updating their data daily from over 30 different suppliers
- Integrating with distributors systems to check pricing in real time & place orders directly from one system to another
- Being a very strong target for fraud
- Having to deal with very technical products, in a market which demands a lot of technical data about every product
- Managing a large number or returns
- Managing both B2B and B2C sales
- The implications of the Distance Selling Regulations.
If you face similar challenges and would like to talk to and learn from those that have extensive experience in this field, then now on 0116 242 5811 to book your place.
The e-commerce club is open to anyone, whether you are currently running a very successful e-commerce business and just want someone to bounce ideas off or whether you are just starting out online. It is not reserved for Studio 2 Online Clients, in fact clients from many different agencies attend. This is what makes the club unique and very much helps build up the knowledge within the room, as businesses share their experiences of working with different agencies and systems.
The vision behind the club was to create a "community" whereby both experienced and in-experienced online businesses could help each other grow, profitably. Helping others avoid the costly mistakes they had made over the years.
Some of the topics being covered include:
- How to improve your checkout process, which has been shown to increase your sales by 173%
- The legal implications of selling online, both within and outside of the UK. Including the key differences between selling B2B and B2C
- What you can do to make the most from the search engines to increase your natural search engine positions
- How to maximise your return and minimise your costs with Google Adwords campaigns
- Email Marketing, how to make it work for you to increase repeat sales
The club is to be held from 5pm – 7pm at the Paramount Hinckley Island Hotel on every second Tuesday of the month. Over the coming months the club will feature guest speakers and carefully selected suppliers willing to share their experience and crafted knowledge to help you increase profit and grow as an online retailer.
