It’s undeniable that shopping and business operations have dramatically changed over the past even five years. Now 80% of Americans are online shoppers, with more than half of those shoppers making purchases on mobile devices. Despite the overwhelming amount of success in eCommerce, it can be difficult to know where and how to launch your own eCommerce store.

Whether you’re just starting or have been in business for a decade, eCommerce technologies are the powerhouse you want to start utilizing. Luckily, it’s easier than ever with the improved tools to get your business online. However, you need more than improved website platforms and services. West Business Development Center (West BDC) is offering a workshop that will help you become a master of your own eCommerce business.

Last season Veronika Monell, the CEO of JumpStartNOW , taught this class to standing-room crowds. You don’t want to miss her live and in person workshops this fall. Get ready now for the holiday season and launch your eCommerce store or take it to the next level. Veronika Monell has helped entrepreneurs and business owners build their successful online stores and now she’s coming to Mendocino County.

Join other colleagues and learn how to bring in more customers and profits, as well as how to easily manage your online business alongside your brick and mortar operations.
