Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce – Call for Action!

The Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce — HISCEC — has been organized to put together the components that will enable Hispanic businesses to transform themselves within the electronic economy and gain competitive advantage by using Electronic Commerce.

HISCEC recognizes that small and medium-sized businesses utilizing e-commerce tools result in substantial financial and operational benefits.

The majority of small and medium-sized Hispanic businesses are not fully utilizing e-commerce tools due to one or more of the following reasons:

– Hispanic business owners and managers do not have the time to explore the benefits of e-commerce tools.
– Hispanic business owners and managers are conservative in nature, and are thus unwilling to experiment with new technologies and approaches.
– There is a limited availability of tools offered by technology vendors that target the small and medium-sized Hispanic businesses.

HISCEC’s services are designed to start helping small and medium-sized Hispanic businesses enjoy the benefits that e-commerce tools provide.

HISCEC will help your business to:

– Be more competitive
– Use an e-business tool that can help you to reduce costs
– Interact with Hispanic business owners from around the country
– Have access to new markets
– Establish or increase international sales
– Improve customer service
– Have access to discounts provided for HISCEC’s members
– Have access to distance learning programs
– Participate in virtual trade shows
– Increase visibility of your business nationwide
– Participate in virtual networking groups and forums
– Participate in local and national events organized by HISCEC

Becoming a member of HISCEC is an action that can help you accomplish some of the above benefits and much more.

We invite you to give HISCEC a try; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
