The last few months have meant many businesses are relooking at their current strategy, deciding that now is the time to probably pivot. With retailers being closed for a number of months, if you haven’t built a solid online strategy yet, now is the time to do this.
Apart from selling direct to consumers through your own website – there are a host of other alternatives – from selling through online retailers, to marketplaces and third party websites. Amazon is one of these options. If trying to navigate your way through doing this is proving to be more challenging than you initially anticipated, come and join us in this bootcamp run through Enterprise Nation and Amazon, together with a number of expert brands, all working together to make this simpler.
