Brown Bag I.T.: E-commerce: stores, donations, and registrations.

Are you leading a charge for change, but lack time for professional development? Want to understand how to embrace mission-supporting technology, but don’t know where to start? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then do we have an offer for you. We provide the space. We provide the battle-hardened “expert.” And get this: all you have to do is show up.

• Sessions will be limited to approximately twelve people.
• Format will be 45 minute presentation (so you can eat your lunch) and 15 minutes of Q & A.
• There will be really, really, good handouts.
• You’re in-and-out in one hour (so you can ride back to work and save the world!).
• And, best-of-all, it costs you nothing.

The first session in the series — E-commerce: Stores, donations, and registrations — will be a fast-and-furious exploration of the options for Canadian organizations that want to accept payments online. Whether it’s as simple as a basic event registration, as critical as a monthly donation, or putting your entire catalogue operation online … you leave having learned something new, and have a sense of where to go next.

Over the years, Phillip has helped a number of organizations to:

• Navigate the sea of Internet merchant account options;
• Find a suitable donation processing provider for their needs;
• Get up-and-running with basic e-commerce on the cheap;
• Explore all the options for launching their online shop.

Phillip frequently delivers workshops on a range of topics, including effective communications strategies for the Web and applying movement-building techniques to online fundraising. These workshops have taken him from coast-to-coast to work with a diverse group of change makers — including leaders of the Northwest environmental movement and student organizers at MIT.

Friday, April 27, 2007 from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
