[OMS_MANAGERS] National Main Street's new partnership with Ebay

Tue Oct 6 09:26:34 PDT 2020

NMSC recently launched a new partnership with eBay - another partner that they've been able to engage for COVID recovery response efforts. Through their partnership, Main Street small businesses will have special access to their newly launched Seller School, supporting their transitions to e-commerce.

On Wednesday they will be hosting a webinar with eBay to hear more about the program. A description is below and registration is here<https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ql-A8imiQ-yNtIA4iao0qw>.

It's hard to over-state the impact that COVID-19 has had on brick-and-mortar small businesses on Main Streets across the country. Given the resulting shift in consumer shopping habits and operating restrictions put in place by states and municipalities, small businesses have had to reinvent themselves to stay open. One of the most important developments has been the increasing focus on ecommerce and engaging virtual content as a means of connecting to customers in new ways. And as we head into the all-important holiday shopping season, these shifts are going to be more important than ever.

To support this critical work, Main Street America has teamed up with ecommerce leader eBay to extend a special invitation to Main Street small businesses.

We invite you to join this webinar to hear directly from eBay about a new opportunity for the small businesses in your district, whether they're just getting started in ecommerce or looking to expand their online presence, eBay's six-week Seller School guided course will help them learn to grow their business on eBay's global marketplace in just a few hours a week.

The course offers a dynamic virtual learning experience, including on-demand lessons, exclusive weekly webinars, and live coaching from expert sellers. And it's 100% free. Space is limited, and class begins October 21. Sign-up to learn more and share this opportunity with small businesses on your Main Street!
