Brian Hopkins, Chairperson of Mayo Chambers and PRO with Ballina Chamber states “Local Enterprise Office ‘Enterprise Week’ is a great opportunity for those budding entrepreneurs to see what support is available to them. Local on Line is also a fantastic event to illustrate the opportunities available to existing and established business especially retailers.’
Brian also states ‘According to figures from Ireland’s domain registry, IEDR, 37 per cent of Irish small and medium enterprises have no online presence, while 91 per cent can’t process online sales. As a result Irish retailers, are losing out to potential sales opportunities by not having the ability to process online sales and lose out on business to international and UK retailers. Everybody needs an online prescience!’
Local on Line Event facilitated by Noel Davidson, Entrepreneurs Academy along with information stands to assist you on getting and maintaining a strong presence on line.
