Upcoming free seminar will teach business owners how to unlock sales by getting their auto parts business online

Automotive eCommerce specialist, Zellis, in conjunction with Retail Global, is holding a free seminar in Perth in early March.
Branded ‘Retail Fest Perth Roadshow’ the seminar is designed to help eCommerce and retail brands connect, learn from industry leaders, and grow their business – or simply unwind, network, and talk shop over a few beers.
Global online sales of automotive parts and accessories amounts to a market currently worth $130billion, with this amount forecast to triple in the next five years, says Zellis.
Australia and New Zealand are already seeing rapid growth, with aftermarket retailers racing to secure early market share.
Zellis explains that accurate product data, stock synchronisation, fitment and low-friction customer experience are keys to online success and will be amongst the topics discussed as part of ‘Retail Fest.’
