EasyStore and Iskandar Malaysia Empower Johor Businesses Through Ecommerce Workshop

As more micro and small business owners realize the importance of going digital, over 100 local entrepreneurs gathered in Johor, Malaysia, to attend the “Build an Ecommerce Website Workshop.” 

This initiative was part of a collaboration between EasyStore and Iskandar Malaysia to encourage digital adoption among local businesses.

“The recent pandemic has made it clear that having an online presence is no longer optional. Businesses must now learn how to go digital to stay competitive.”

Understanding the Ecommerce Landscape

The workshop began with an introduction to the current ecommerce landscape and why it’s essential for businesses to sell across multiple sales channels.

Each sales channel offers unique strengths:

• Retail stores provide a personalized shopping experience but are limited by location.

• Marketplaces like Shopee and Lazada bring in high traffic and ready buyers. Not being listed on these platforms means missing out.

• Social media platforms are crucial for product discovery. Many consumers find new products through friends, influencers, or ads.

• Google is a go-to for product research. Having a dedicated website helps your business appear in search results and increases visibility.

Hands-On Store Building with EasyStore

Participants then dove into a hands-on session where they learned how to build their very own ecommerce websites using EasyStore.

“I was really excited to see the online store I built come to life in just a few hours. I wish I had known about EasyStore earlier—it really helps reduce a lot of the time-consuming tasks,” said Natasha, one of the attendees.

Attendees came from a variety of business backgrounds and technical skill levels, but by the end of the session, everyone was able to launch a fully functional online store.
