Event Details

This workshop will provide an overview of several different online storefronts, discussing the pros and cons associated with each. Participants will gain hands-on knowledge as to which online storefront may be appropriate for their particular business.

Many small businesses are actively selling their products over the Internet through online storefronts such as Amazon, Ebay or Etsy. By selling through these sites, the business owner doesn’t have to dedicate the time, effort and funds to set up their own individual website. It also allows them to take advantage of the millions of built-in shoppers that frequent these sites.
