JULY
 

SCOE - Amazon Sellers Conference

July 8-11
at the Seattle Airport Marriott

The high-value multi-track format means that there is always something interesting happening and something new to learn. At any given time, you'll be able to choose from among several different sessions to select the ones that best suit your business model.

In Seattle you will be able to ask questions and learn directly from Amazon product managers and execs, and from other sellers. You will see vendor products designed specifically for you. You will also talk to other sellers who are doing what you do, gain inspiration and ideas, and from collaborative relationships that will last you a lifetime.

Attendees come to SCOE annually from all over the world. There is no substitute anywhere for this face to face event. We anticipate that nearly 40% of last year's attendees will be returning, a factor that speaks to the perceived value of this event.

If you have any questions, please send them to Rhonda Schneider, Event Manager, at sellersconference@comcast.net. You'll receive a response within 2 business days.

In addition to the Amazon folks and vendors speaking this year they are doing a new peer-to-peer training day on Sunday. I'll be speaking, as well as Skip McGrath and Joe Waynick and a few others (I haven't heard the full line-up yet) who are volunteering their time and energy to the day.

We'd love to see you in Seattle! For more information or to register click here.

Sept/October

eBay on Location
 

Early September
Orlando Florida

Just announced last week, the second eBay On Location event for the year will be in Orlando Florida. No dates that I noticed, but if you aren't familiar with these events they're eBay specific venues. This immersive event gives everyone from new sellers to top sellers the proven tips and strategies they need to be more successful on eBay. Find out what works best from eBay experts, business gurus and from your fellow eBay sellers, then use that knowledge to boost your sales, customer loyalty and profitability!

I had a great time and learned so much last year from these events - I can heartily recommend them if you want to learn more about how to build your eBay business - or just sell a few things around the house.

wow - that's a lot of events this year!

I have one more ... For several years I've toyed with the idea of hosting an event here in the Northwest. The thing is - I'm sure I just don't have the time or energy or budget to bring it together alone... however the other day the feeling came again. I found another beautiful little wooded park that would make an ideal setting for a get together.

So, for my Northwest friends - let me ask you this: would you like to have a 'day of learning' event here? If so; how, when and where? I've created a survey to ask a few questions to see if there is any interest in such an event.

If you are interested, please fill out my short survey at Survey Monkey by clicking here.
