Who Sold Online This Week?
These GROW Nebraska members sold items on the GROW Nebraska eBay and eCommerce stores this week.
Gluten, Salt and MSG-Free Products
Do you have a gluten, salt or MSG-free product that you are selling in the GROW Nebraska stores? If so, please e-mail us at
info@grownebraska.org and let us know. We would like to add this information to our online descriptions and make store shoppers aware through signage.
Web Evaluation
The goal of the GROW Nebraska web site critique is to provide members and non-members valuable feedback regarding their web site. Since $133.7 billion dollars was created in online sales in 2008*, an effective web site will increase sales of your product(s), as well as promote your business. The jury panel will consist of several web industry experts who have backgrounds in e-business strategy, graphic design, and usability testing. The jury will rate and comment on your web site in five areas: audience/purpose, graphics, navigation, content, and functionality.
