The city of Akron is teaming up with eBay to help its brick and mortar businesses make the move toward a digital marketplace.
They鈥檙e passionate about their customers, they are hiring, they are exciting and full of energy. We love entrepreneurs! We鈥檙e builders, and the sense I get is that Akron is a building town, and that鈥檚 why we鈥檙e here.
Ebay鈥檚 CEO Dan Wenig told small business owners and media his reasoning for eBay鈥檚 interest in making Akron their pilot city for the 鈥淩etail Revival鈥 initiative.
The program is meant to connect Main Street business owners to the digital marketplace. Akron is the first U.S. city to be a part of it.
This will allow business owners to take their marketing in a new direction.
So, a company like eBay coming in with the vast resources that they have to grow exposure of our company is critical.
Akron鈥檚 鈥淭inyCircuits鈥 founder and president Ken Burns knows that with eBay鈥檚 help, his company can grow further through the digital marketplace.
