Presentation in Partnership with PA Downtown Center, Makerplace.io and eMarketing Learning Center
Learn how your downtown or neighborhood district businesses can develop a competitive online presence through a local or regional online marketplace
Cathy von Birgelen, Executive Director
eMarketing Learning Center @ Ben Franklin
The lack of trust between customers and sellers is a problem for large marketplaces, which is why community marketplaces are gaining popularity. Local Marketplaces already have a communal advantage. Cathy will discuss how to foster community engagement and grow your businesses online and offline.
Karen Rzepecki, CEO, MakerPlace.io
Karen will show how a community-driven marketplace is achievable for PA Downtown Regions and can be a major engine for creating and promoting a regional brand and growing the maker ecosystem; the difference between a managed marketplace and traditional marketplace; and how to get started.
