Mr Site and PayPal today announce joint plans for a year-long
campaign of customer events with the first being called 'Roots To Business
Success.' These will take place throughout 2008 and 2009 at locations
throughout the British Isles including London and Dublin (other locations to
follow)...
The launch event will take place in Richmond, Surrey on June
17th at 14.00h and will see Dragon's Den Slayer Levi Roots sharing the
secrets of his considerable business success. Levi set up a website and began
selling his famous Reggae Reggae Sauce using Mr Site and PayPal with
phenomenal results. The launch seminar will also feature speeches from senior
Mr Site and PayPal Directors, Stuart Spice and Cameron McLean. This will be
followed by a Q & A session and light refreshments.
Each subsequent invite-only event will feature a panel of at
least two business experts keen to share their knowledge with the Mr Site
community and their guests. Panel discussions will feature hot topics
including SEO, The Future of Online Payments, Top 10 Tips for Web Success,
Attracting Visitors To Your Site and more.
Bea Hatherley, Mr Site Co-founder, says: "This programme of
events will enable the Mr Site community to get face-to-face with leading
industry/business experts and represents a superb opportunity to network with
like-minded individuals. Who knows... the next Alan Sugar could be a Mr Site
customer and via these seminars, he (or she) will acquire enough insider
information to get on the fast track to business success."
Cameron McLean, General Manager PayPal Merchant Services,
says: "These events are a great opportunity for people to understand the
benefits of the PayPal and Mr Site package and how to increase sales for
their business. With online consumers preferring to pay with PayPal*
