What’s in the report?
Read eBay’s Ohio Online Business Growth Report: Summit County and Trumbull County Retail Revival to gain insights into the trade and growth of eBay-enabled small businesses in Ohio and the US. In addition, the report includes an analysis of new enterprise formation on eBay compared to the traditional economy in Summit and Trumbull counties from 2011 to 2015. Key findings include that nearly every eBay-enabled small business in Ohio (and the US) is an exporter, that these enterprises experience growth rates that exceed their state economy average, and that small business growth is more geographically inclusive on eBay than in the traditional economy - including greater rates of growth in rural communities and other areas outside of economic hot spots.
