Doing Business Online – Successfully, seminar, one day event, taking place Tuesday 26th September, at HM President, Victoria Embankment.
Howard Graham, founder of a portfolio of successful online businesses, Business Made Simple, including Companies Made Simple (CMS), has brought together key players in the online arena to show the SME market just how they too can create a successful online presence.
Howard's commitment is to help the SME market understand how to create a successful online presence. Therefore, he has brought together key players, creating a learning platform priced at just £59 + VAT.
Why this seminar is necessary?
In Spring 2006, Business Made Simple (BMS) surveyed 4000 start up businesses to identify views on creating a successful online presence – over 400 businesses took part in the survey.
Incredibly, 70% of those surveyed stated that they did not believe their product/service could be sold/marketed online. Other findings; they didn't know where to start with online marketing, and were cautious about setting up e-commerce processes.
Whether starting an online presence or improving the one they've got – this one day seminar will provide SMEs with all they need to know:
· Identifying the practicalities of successful e-commerce
· Discovering how to develop an online brand
· Marketing – on line or off line
· Discovering how the web can strengthen brand and power customer acquisition and retention
· Hear practical insights on doing business online…successfully!
The balance of speakers brings together both the 'professional' know how – and importantly, provides the opportunity to hear HOW 'regular' people took their idea, ran with it, providing attendees with key knowledge of the steep learning curve they encountered.
About Howard Graham
In 2004, Accountant, Howard Graham realised that the company formation market was ripe for a radical change. Historically, largely accountants and lawyers, who sourced them from a number of company formation agents, provided companies. The process was slow, expensive, (companies could cost well over £250) and old fashioned. Through the CMS website, companiesmadesimple.com, they led the online revolution of company formation, with a very low cost, (prices now start at £19.99 plus VAT) and companies can be formed in three hours online. As a result, that arm of the business is selling almost 2,000 companies per month and growing exponentially.
The Business Made Simple group of entities provides a range of services geared towards the Business Start Up market. Through his many online businesses, Howard has grown a wealth of knowledge and experience about how to create a successful online presence.
Bottom line: The first major full year of activity resulted in a turnover of approximately half a million, the next year they achieved approximately 1.2 million and the turnover for the next twelve months to April 2007 should be well over £2 million.
