Why you should attend eCommerce Show North

Posted on October 6, 2017November 27, 2017 by admin

Looking to take your eCommerce business to the next level? Here’s how attending eCommerce Show North can help you…

Free registration is now open – confirm your place here.

Knowledge
Believe it or not, there are only three definitive ways to increase revenue in an eCommerce business:
1. Increase the total number of customers;
2. Increase the frequency of transactions per customer;
3. Increase the average order size from each customer.

Knowing what to prioritise can be the difference between a standard year of growth and a phenomenal one. So, what’s your next move? Look above at the overall ways to grow revenue and you may notice each has a common theme: the customer. It can be a transformative moment if you start with what your buyers want (and perhaps more importantly, what they don’t want or need) and let them be your guide for everything you do.

If you’re not on top of all things eCommerce, you’re falling behind, losing sales and waving goodbye to customers, who’ll flock to more digitally savvy competitors, without sparing you a thought.

But knowing how to do this can be tricky without seeking the proper advice and guidance from the game-changers in eCommerce. Bursting with great advice, technical expertise and real-life examples of effective eCommerce strategies from global eCommerce companies, eCommerce Show North provides you with everything you need to know in one space.

New Business
An obvious point but new business means new revenue. By attending eCSN, you can gain great contacts and warm leads for your business – all whilst seeing what your competitors are up to. Senior figures from global brand such as Amazon, AO Retail, Asda, DHL, IMRG, Jaguar, Matalan, Missguided, Music Magpie and Virgin Media are all in attendance.

Meet Experts & Influencers Face to Face
eCSN is the perfect opportunity for attendees to mix and mingle, form new relationships, and strengthen existing ones. Over coffee, lunch, or just walking around the exhibition space, you may make a connection with the perfect provider or prospect. At one of our seminar sessions, you may find yourself sitting besides your next customer! If you don’t go, maybe your toughest competitor will be sitting in your seat…

New Tools
In the exhibition space, companies will have on display unique tools and new products that you may have not seen before. Apps and products that make your business faster, sleeker, less prone to costly mistakes or give your eCommerce business that edge can all be found at eCSN. Whilst all these tools can be found online, there’s nothing more engaging than speaking to someone face to face with a hands on demonstration, where you can ask relevant questions specific to your business needs.

eCommerce is the fastest growing tech sector and better eCommerce can pay off big time, for businesses large and small. Over 100 leading global, national and regional companies, suppliers, vendors and agencies have signed up to engage at eCSN. From giants such as Barclaycard, Microsoft and WorldPay to multinationals including dotmailer, Finch, Nosto, Oracle | Bronto and Temando through to dozens of UK national and regional companies, the huge variety of services and expertise on offer at eCSN is enormous.
