I've spent the last two days at Doncaster racecourse at the Business Yorkshire conference and exhibition. I was there to speak at the Google University seminars as mentioned in earlier blog post. This is just a quick post to let you know how it all went.
The event itself saw around 3,000 people attend over the two days, with the mornings being more popular than the afternoons. I did my presentation four times in total and it all seemed to go down well. It's always interesting to chat to business owners after presenting and I've met businesses as diverse as make-up sales, canoe accessories, power tools and speed dating for over 50s. Plus a chef with a secret recipe Jamaican marinade!
All these businesses said they gained some extra knowledge from listening to how we do things and that it gave them something to think about applying to their business websites. Of particular interest is how we go about promoting 60,000 products and managing our extensive adwords campaign. People are relived to hear there are ways and means to automate the process.
I'm looking forward to doing more of the same and just to prove as was there there's a quick video below.

ReplyDeleteJust to echo what Brian mentioned in the video, More Computers can supply anything electrical from iPods and televisions to motherboards and processors - Some people hear the name and perceive us as a website for the 'techies'. MoreFrom and our various other domains was introduced to give people an alternate perception of what we sell.
