About this Event
Growing Like Weeds!
Presented by ecommNW
Whether you're in the green industry yourself or looking to grow your online business in any sector, you'll discover practical strategies from professionals who've mastered the unique challenges of selling everything from seeds to soil online.
Our panelists will share how they've tackled seasonal inventory challenges, built customer loyalty in a niche market, optimized their digital storefronts for both hobbyist gardeners and professional growers, and navigated the logistics of shipping everything from delicate seedlings to heavy garden equipment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to dig into real-world ecommerce tactics, connect with fellow professionals, and walk away with actionable insights you can plant in your own business—no matter what you're selling.
