Get a fully set-up, high performance online store

Have you been procrastinating on setting up your online store? You’re not alone 😄 You’ll leave the hands-on workshop with your choice of either a brand new Shopify or WooCommerce store. And if you already have a store, learn about how to maximise the use of complementary growth tools for logistics, marketing, and more.

R1 million in FREE online payments processing

Participants will receive R1,000,000 in free online payments processing. This offer is valid for brand new Paystack accounts created between October 16 to November 30, 2023. Fee-free processing will be applied until 11:59PM (SAST) on December 31, or until the business collects R1 million, whichever comes sooner.

Find out what other business owners are planning

The 100 participants will be split up into four intimate groups of 25 to discuss strategy. How are your peers thinking about discounts? Which marketing tactics have worked well for them in the past? Come learn and share with other SMB business owners on how they’re planning to grow sales.

Get free product photography

Sometimes, a pictures says a thousand words (and can help close the sale). You’ll have the opportunity to get high quality product photos from a professional photographer.
