What you need to know about Amazon setting up shop in Australia and what to do about it

There have been many reports about Amazon opening distribution centres in Australia, with the first, in Dandenong Victoria, well advanced in preparation.

Little advice has been provided to small business retailers on what is needed to compete in this ever evolving online-focussed world.

At this workshop I in Sydney later this week will share insights from the various retail store connected websites with which I am involved. I will show the data: when, hope and why people shop. I will take you under the hood, back to what they search Google for.

I will explain steps you can take in your business to win business that Amazon sellers m might otherwise try and win from you. I will also share details of experiences overseas, from small and independent retailers.

I will show how you can get online in any type of business, without breaking the bank and without needing your own tech employee. Plus, I will answer every question you have about these topics.  Without obligation.

Book now. These workshops are free. All welcome.

  • August 24, 11am. Figtree Conference Centre: Mission Room, 5 Figtree Drive, Sydney Olympic Park NSW.

I will demonstrate live websites connecting to newsagency businesses with POS software. I will also show how to transfer stock to a website and how to manage images.

I’ll set dates for Adelaide and Melbourne in a day or two. This is an update to a session I first hosted several months ago in NSW and QLD.

    Hope the Olympic Park workshops went well and people learnt about Amazon and how that applies to the retail sector newsagents are part of.
