E Commerce Symposium Recap

As the world continues to move towards a digital economy, e-commerce has become a vital component of business success. In light of this, the Ministry of Commerce in collaboration with the OAS organized an e-Commerce Symposium that promises to retool local MSMEs. 

The event, which took place on March 30, 2023, was a great opportunity for business owners to learn about e-commerce solutions available in St. Lucia, including those offered by Penny Pinch.

Penny Pinch is a leading mobile payment solutions provider that is helping many businesses succeed digitally. The company offers a range of services that make it convenient for customers to make payments from their mobile devices. These services are tailored to meet the needs of different businesses, from small startups to established companies.

One of the key benefits of using mobile payment solutions is that they are fast, secure, and convenient. This is particularly important for MSMEs that are constantly seeking ways to grow their customer base and increase revenue. With Penny Pinch, businesses can accept payments from Penny Pinch customers in-store or remotely.

At the e-Commerce Symposium, Penny Pinch was invited to deliver 30-minute presentation to an audience of potential merchants and customers. Penny Pinch presented its customer and merchant offerings, answered many insightful questions, and reviewed many positive remarks about its initiatives.

Many individuals were notably excited about the introduction of the MoneyGram and Western Union receive feature which allows you to receive your transfers from abroad directly to your Penny Pinch account without the need to visit an agent.

In addition to learning about mobile payment solutions, attendees also benefited from incentives provided by Penny Pinch to those who visited the branded booth and signed up. Customers received a one-time bonus of $30 and merchants who indicated interest would enter to win a $500 gift card towards a custom-built e-Commerce enabled website.

Overall, the e-Commerce Symposium was a grand success. We look forward to building further momentum from this event and to continue participating in others throughout the year.
