On Wednesday night, Feb. 15th, at Boro Park’s Palace Ballroom, The Jewish Entrepreneur (TJE) will partner with Crown Heights Young Entrepreneurs (CHYE) to host “Finding Success in E-Commerce,” an informational evening from leading experts in the online retail industry.

This year’s event is set to be the largest in its 4-year history, with over 500 people expected to attend. Interest within the frum community in the burgeoning e-commerce industry has seen rapid growth in recent times, and such events provide invaluable resources to young entrepreneurs looking to launch businesses of their own.

The event’s highlight will be what has become a signature feature: The E-Commerce Exchange. Industry experts will facilitate round-table discussions on a wide range of topics—from mastering E-bay platform, to Amazon compliance issues, to scaling a million-dollar Amazon business, and social media marketing—giving people the opportunity to have their questions answered from specialists in the field.

“This is an opportunity to pick the minds of some of the most successful people in the industry,” says Shmuel Schnitzer, Director of TJE. “People will walk away with the knowhow to take their businesses to the next level.”

From the e-commerce “heavyweights” facilitating discussions will be Motty Gross, founder of multi-million-dollar home appliance retailer AJ Madison, Ed Rosenberg, of Amazon Sellers Group, Dov Brafman CEO of Sharkk.com, a leading online electronics company.

“Amazon is considered the greatest growth engine in world history,” says Rosenberg, underscoring the value such an event has for the frum community. “You can build a 10-million-dollar business with just a basement and 2 employees. You need to be fully immersed in it, and know every rule to succeed.”

Dov Brafman CEO of Sharkk a fast growing consumer electronics company whose unique company culture has attracted media attention and has people lining up at their doors to fill the slots of their ever growing new initiatives, will be leading a discussion on creating a healthy company culture. “A key part of our mission and vision is about empowering people, bringing out the best of them.
