eCommerce: From launch to ongoing success

This session is all about eCommerce, and it’s coming from one of the most experienced persons in the space! Beka has many years of experience in her running SkyVerge, Jilt, and SellWithWP, not to mention all of the other conference presentations and webinars that she’s delivered.

Throughout this presentation, you’re going to learn all of the bits you need to know both to get an eCommerce shop up and running as well as the important areas where you should focus attention to land sales and long-term growth for the business.

In particular, Beka will teach you about several aspects of how eCommerce itself works (not only the fundamentals but things like catering to proper user experience, too). She will also teach you how to gather and leverage analytical data, create effective marketing plans, and which areas to focus on to deliver the most value both during and after launch.
