Webinars

Would you like to expand your range and sell to customers all across the country? If so, but you’re worried about costs, technical know-how and logistics, this webinar will ease your mind and give you new ways to think about the opportunities. Growing your business outside of your local or regional trade area doesn’t have to mean investing in an e-commerce storefront. As out-of-area customers find you through other means — your non-transactional website, social media posts, word of mouth, customer reviews, visiting your showroom and more — shipping to where your buyers are can give your business a national footprint. This webinar explores:

• Best practices for servicing out-of-area buyers
• How to decide on the best shipping methods and why
• Shipping rates and setting a smart pricing strategy
• How to minimize and manage damages and returns

Your furniture store isn’t rooted in place. Thanks to the internet, its doors open to shoppers across the country – and some of those shoppers want to buy. This webinar will show you how easy it can be!
