Course Description
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this course is now online.
eCommerce encompasses a wide variety of disciplines. This eCommerce course will address the eCommerce customer journey, the platform choices, products, proposition and thinking required to create a strategy. Important topics such as the role of customer acquisition, and how to think about marketplaces and other channels, as well as optimising an eCommerce for conversion, and the Future of eCommerce will also be covered.
This course has been created to help marketers either review their company’s existing eCommerce strategy or to help create an eCommerce proposition from scratch. The course includes a multitude of practical tips that can be applied to individual aspects of an eCommerce business to maximise results, so will suit eCommerce Managers or Marketers who are early-to-mid careers, as well as senior marketers looking to create an eCommerce strategy for their brand.
This Course will start with contextualising eCommerce today. Regardless of business model or channel choice, all eCommerce sites have, at their heart, a relatively simple revenue model:
- Customer acquisition cost
- Conversion rate (number of visitors who buy)
- Average Basket Size (the typical order size).
These are core ‘levers’ for all eCommerce businesses.
The Course will use three key frameworks to build a cohesive narrative to make the class logical and easy to follow.
- The 9Ps of Ecommerce
- The 4Cs of Ecommerce
- The RACER Ecommerce Planning Framework.
Through these intense 2 half days of learning (Tuesday 9th – Wednesday 10th June), attendees will be able to apply topics to realistic scenarios through group exercises, as well as apply your learning to your own websites via a ‘hands-on’ problem-solving session.
