  3. E-commerce, and not solely for Belgium, is
    only at the start of its possibilities.
    Fighting off the (foreign) competition and
    exploring (neighboring) cross-border sales
    could break open a real revenue stream.

    View Slide

  4. As Belgian consumers, we are always ‘late’ when
    it comes to embracing new online technologies,
    but that doesn’t mean you have to focus all your
    efforts on Facebook. If you aim for quality over
    quantity, blogging, Youtube and
    Pinterest are at your service.

  5. Don’t miss out on the mobile commerce.
    A majority might say that aren’t willing to use this
    technology, but companies involved with this
    opportunity are already seeing the (additional)
    revenue. And the impact of mobile commerce will
    only grow.
