  Clemson University offers Electronic Commerce Course web posted August 13, 2008 GREENWOOD – This fall, Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service (CUCES) will offer an E-Commerce course in the Greenwood area. With support from the Clemson Institute for Economic and Community Development (CIECD), this course is relevant to all who are wondering what eCommerce is about, and small businesses that are thinking about developing an electronic commerce website. Past participants have included retail, service, home based, farm and alternative based businesses with fewer than 50 employees. The classes are usually held in a computer lab, with mostly hands on exploration of the Internet. This course will be in three sessions usually running from about 6-9 PM. The cost is $195. For participants that have been through the Small Business Development’s Center’s Fast Track Program, the fee is normally reduced to $100. According to the Census Bureau: "E-commerce (or electronic commerce) is any business transaction whose price or essential terms were negotiated over an online system such as an Internet, Extranet, Electronic Data Interchange network, or electronic mail system." But electronic commerce is more than selling product online; it's using online resources and tools to do business better, more efficiently and productively. It's about making and saving money. eCommerceSC helps small businesses use e-commerce more effectively, encourages business growth or start-up and helps businesses participate in the global economy. Originally piloted by the University of Minnesota Extension Service, the eCommerceSC curriculum is being used by Clemson University to serve the business community in South Carolina. The training takes a small business through 4 major segments: eExploring, ePlanning and ePromoting, and eBizPlan, each designed to hone the specific eCommerce skill sets of the internet conscious entrepreneur. This Greenwood area program will commence on Tuesday, October 28th in a computer lab within easy driving distance from Edgefield, Abbeville, and McCormick. The location and exact times will be forwarded to the participants. Some dates may change due to the schedules of the instructors. The program is usually taught by CIECD officials: Associate Professor and Ecommerce Specialist Dr. Dave Lamie and Specialist Will Culler, Clemson University. This program is offered to people of all ages, regardless of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital or family status. Persons interested in the program should contact Ernie Church at echurch@clemson.edu. Or 1-803-637-3161 ext. 112. ©
