10 Million New Customers for Dorset Businesses



How many companies attract 10 million customers in their first 5 years in the UK Maybe eBay is the exception, but with the right training every Dorset business can beat the retail slump and take advantage of this huge customer base to expand.

Refreshed Media Director Simon Melaniphy sees the potential "With high street retail sales hit hard, the opportunity for online growth has never been stronger, though many companies feel wary of the financial commitment or skills required for an e-commerce website. eBay trading allows a very comfortable first step into this new and exciting market, or equally for an existing e-commerce retailer looking for further growth."

Whilst everyone can have a go at creating an eBay auction, like any new skill there is much to learn. Many tear their hair out with the time it can take to create an auction, or what happens when it ends. Then there's the financials: you can carry out effective competitor research on eBay if you know how, but then you also need to be aware of how best to take payment, and how do you avoid being liable for credit card fraud

To address all of the issues in getting started, Bournemouth based Refreshed Media are the first company in Dorset to begin running 1 day practical eBay Business Development seminars for local companies. Emma Wright, Manager of the SWRDA funded Enterprise Pavilion was keen to see this innovative event be held at the Wallisdown based Pavilion "Our aim is to help local businesses flourish, and we are excited at playing our part in essential courses such as this."

The full day includes PC based training, essential lectures and plenty of questions answered - delivered from 5 years of experience. To help the businesses grow further, there will also be time for networking over lunch and 100 off for those booking in July.
