As part of Exporting is GREAT Week UKTI and Velocity (SEMLEP) are working in partnership to host a free e-commerce seminar for businesses to receive advice and guidance from local experts and hear about the support on offer to help achieve their export ambitions.
The UK is at the centre of global e-commerce and recognising this strength, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) have developed an e-Exporting Programme to help UK retailers and brands increase sales of products overseas through online channels. By selling online through an e-marketplace UK retailers can find new customers, analyse data on what consumers are searching for and build awareness of their brands.
Why attend this seminar:-
• Receive help and advice on building your online and e-commerce presence
• Increase the reach of your brand globally
• Identify new e-marketplaces around the world
