Zero to E-Commerce

The first workshop in the E-Commerce Mastery Series is designed to help you understand the various e-commerce platforms available to small and large businesses alike. If new to this business, you will learn what questions to ask as you evaluation e-commerce programs and if you’re already doing online sales, you’ll uncover ideas to optimize your operations. You will also learn how to hire both short- and long-term associates with the skills needed to support this business. You will be given tools to help evaluate your product offering, your online operations, including space for inventory, and how to successfully staff to meet your customer demands.

Streamlining Your Ecommerce Order Fulfillment

The second workshop in the E-Commerce Mastery Series focuses on order fulfillment. While many garden centers started e-commerce and curbside pickup because of the global pandemic, this new shopping trend is here to stay. In this collaborative class, you’ll hear from independent garden center owners and wholesalers who have successfully streamlined product pickup and online order/delivery programs (without blowing the budget). You’ll also identify the key components of a successful online shopping program and have a chance to start planning for or optimizing your order fulfillment. Each participant will leave with a personalized, drafted process document that includes a list of assets, software needs, and the itemized steps to take to achieve your desired results.
