* * We have a big huge giant room this month so Walk-Ins are WELCOME!! * *
Everyone
has a website, but very few people know what it takes to build a
successful ecommerce company. Blinds.com founder and CEO Jay Steinfeld
started Blinds.com in his garage in 1996. 15 years later, Blinds.com is
the #1 site in the United States and Canada for buying custom window
treatments. The question he is frequently asked? "How did you really do
it?" Instead of discussing theoreticals, Jay will pull from personal
experience to present the real, tactical steps people need to take to
make money online.
As one of only 3 Houston-based businesses on the Internet Retailer 500
list, Jay's insights into marketing and business development might be
of interest to HiMA members trying to build online companies.
