- PANEL: The Brand of You Panel
Your personal brand is not just your social media account. Your brand is your story and a reflection of your business. As a woman in business, your personal brand is defined in two ways: your online and your offline self. Your online brand might include your social media profiles and company website. But it’s your offline brand that really tells the deeper story. The Brand of You Panel will teach participants how to create, maintain, and leverage their personal brands for professional use.
- PANEL: Setting Up Shop
Starting an eCommerce business is hard work with many steps and decisions that need to come together at the right time. You have selected and evaluated your product, written your business and marketing plans and now you are ready to set-up your online business. The Setting Up Shop Panel will cover strategies for acquiring customers, POS technology, and building a successful online business.
