Thank you again to everyone who attended the 2019 Shopify Meetup Seoul, held with our partner Worldfirst at the N90 Center Lecture Hall on April 29th. For those who couldn’t attend due to time constraints, I would like to share a review of the exciting event.

From the entrance of the venue, the familiar 300cbt signboard indicates that there is an event today. Although it is an afternoon event, we have prepared drinks and refreshments for those who have taken the time to attend so that they can recharge their energy. 300cbt hosted the 2018 Shopify Local Meetup.

First, 300cbt CEO Lee Jae-ik gave a lecture on the global e-commerce platform Shopify. There are many other platforms besides Shopify, but the lecture began with a comparative explanation of Shopify’s functions and distinctive advantages. Then, if you choose a platform, you will be guided through the functions on how to implement them.

Lastly, the most important marketing in global e-commerce - an introduction to various marketing using Shopify and how to use it were introduced with specific examples.

It was also a time to provide practical information such as marketing linkage and operational know-how based on the experience gained while building overseas shopping malls and providing education services based on 10 years of overseas e-commerce experience at 300cbt.

It was a time to learn about 300cbt's Shopify operation know-how that allows you to conveniently and easily utilize all the functions necessary for building and operating an online shopping mall, such as site opening, payment solutions, and web page design functions, as well as how to expand sales through various channels and impactful marketing methods using content from Google to social media.

Afterwards, there was a meaningful time to hear about how to more effectively reach global customers by utilizing content as an effective social marketing method through a marketing lecture by CEO Yongtae Kim of The SMC, a company that produces new media content and won the Korea Online Advertising Award last year.

The last speaker was Choi Hyeong-ryeol, CEO of Worldfirst, an international payment company with 15 years of trust and a cumulative transaction volume of 100 trillion won, who gave guidance on how to quickly and reliably receive sales proceeds from overseas online marketplaces, and how to improve the convenience of overseas fund management through the Worldfirst account. Even if you do not have an overseas corporation, you can easily manage funds sold overseas with just one World account. To open a Worldfirst account, please refer to the link below.

And after every lecture, there was a QnA session. Many attendees had in-depth Q&A sessions about not only the content of the lectures that day, but also various things they were curious about, from global e-commerce operations to marketing. The QnA session lasted over an hour, and there was not enough time. Even after the official sessions were over, those who had personal inquiries were consulted one by one until the end.

As this is the first meetup held this year, it was a meaningful opportunity to experience how much awareness and interest in Shopify has increased in the domestic market.

Having successfully completed the 2019 Shopify Meetup Seoul, 300cbt is regularly operating Shopify Master Course, an educational service, as well as Shopify building services. 300cbt will do its best until more and more domestic merchants become leaders in global e-commerce more efficiently and powerfully through Shopify.
