Web Revolution for Business

You've built your website, but will they come?  How do you target marketing with website intelligence? How do you build a low-cost international marketing campaign?  How can you find out if inquiries from international companies to your website are "real"?

How can you determine your ability to ship your products to that country and what paperwork is needed?  How do you know what custom wants before they allow your products into that country?  How do you know if you have covered all the bases legally with your website content?  What things can keep you from being successful when taking orders from your website?  How do you gather information on buyers and still conform to international laws?  Where do you go for help? 

All these questions and more will be answered at the Web Revolution half day seminars around the country!

The cost is only $60, and includes presentations from Google, Fedex, and Baker & McKenzie. For more information or to register, please contact your nearest point of contact below.
