Oxatis is back from London today after the Business Startup show at Earl's Court 2 on 30th November and 1st December.

The snow couldn't keep us away! Rather it kept us around :)

And it couldn't keep the visitors away either! For the third time around, Oxatis was there to support budding businesses with their online projects and bring them advice concerning everything web.

 

If you missed our seminar at the show - "Make Your Website Work For You" - you can catch up on the slides below for some simple techniques on how to persuade buyers to buy more and buy wiser. Feel free to comment below with any input or queries.

For the second year in a row, Oxatis was at the E-Commerce Expo at Olympia in London this week.

This show is one of the largest expos in Europe focusing on e-commerce and selling online. I was joined by Hervé Bourdon, VP Marketing & Communication, a couple of members from the Oxatis team and one of our top E-Commerce partners.

The show was a great success and we were able to meet with potential customers up close and personal to bring them advice about all aspects of selling online: e-commerce, content management, marketing, social media, return on investment, etc.

Things that stood out for the crowd: Flexibility of the Oxatis e-commerce solution, customization possibilities in regards to design, and our business model, which is practically non-existent in the UK market. We were thrilled with all of the positive feedback and happy to be able to provide businesses in the UK with a much-needed solution!

What stood out for us: Visitors, exhibitors and speakers alike were all very polite and extremely friendly! Smiles were all around and it was great to mix business with pleasure at the E-Commerce Expo in London this year!

If you missed our seminar  "Social Commerce: Add a new dimension to your business and reap the rewards", you can see the slides below:

Paris, E-Commerce Capital of the World!

The good news is that Europe is now the worldwide leader in E-Commerce with total sales in 2009 reaching over 153 billion Euros versus 117 billion Euros in the United States and less than 100 billion for the entire Asia region. 

Knowing that the E-Commerce Paris exhibition is the largest E-Commerce exhibition in Europe and that Europe is the largest E-Commerce zone on the international stage, Paris is quite simply the E-Commerce capital of the world until Thursday!

Not sure you can make it? Don't wait any longer. If you're in Paris, swing by and see us at stand J1.

Oxatis at Business Startup - May 2010

If there's one thing Oxatis aims for, it's giving small businesses easy access to E-Commerce. Simplify the process, take away the obstacles, educate the professionals: That's what we strive to do on a daily basis by doing away with all the techno babble and providing a powerful solution accessible to everyone.

The Business Startup show is an ideal place to get that message across. If you remember from last fall, Oxatis was at Business Startup to support start-ups and small businesses in their search for information and advice on creating a successful venture.

We'll be there again this spring at ExCeL on May 20th and 21st to continue our efforts at bringing E-Commerce to every entrepreneur. Come and see how easy it is (or at least not as hard as you think) to manage your business online.

We'll also be holding a seminar entitled "Make Your Website Work for You!", introducing different ways to drive visitors and sales to your website.

So if you're starting out or expanding your business and want to take advantage of all the Web has to offer (and believe me, it has a lot to offer!), come and visit us at stand 512 to see how we can help you make your dream a reality!

For free tickets to the show: Register Here

Hellooooooo... Wembley!

Do you have a subject concerning e-commerce or the web that you want to share? Come and co-blog it here!

This post was written by Tania Chamma, UK Country Manager for Oxatis.

This Tuesday, Oxatis had the pleasure of participating in a seminar geared toward educating retailers about the ins and outs of running their business online.

And wow! What a view we had for this special event. It was held in the Pitch View room overlooking Wembley Stadium. Nothing could have been better to instill a bit of inspiration in the delegates, who were all ears and ready to learn more about lacing up their trainers and getting out on what some of them consider to be a scary new playing field.

The College of Northwest London, through the London Knowledge Transfer Project, sponsored this event. The college offers full and part-time courses designed around the specific needs of local businesses to help professionals develop and succeed. And we were there to help them do just that. Through their continued research, the college has found a growing need for education resources focused on E-Commerce and the Web, and organized this event as a first step in meeting that need.

After the seminar, where Oxatis talked about E-Commerce and persuading buyers to buy, we were all lucky enough to get a tour of the stadium...a real treat! Even if it was raining and about -12° outside (brrrr...), we got to sit in the Royal Box, test out the acoustics of the stadium in unison (hellooooooo..... Wembley, echo, echo, echo), and learn about what makes Wembley so unique.

What is that you might ask? Well, it's the first time I've ever seen a lawn getting an artificial sun bath (lucky lawn)! But the biggest thing that makes Wembley stand out...? It has over 2,500 toilets...more than any stadium in the world! So, for those football fans out there (or concert goers for that matter) who are a little weak in the bladder...have no fear! Come to Wembley, they've got everything you need :)
