Time for Change Meet our e-commerce makeover winners, whose online sales are set to soar.

Never underestimate the power of a good makeover. That was the message behind the e-Business Boost Challenge, sponsored by Entrepreneur magazine and ProStores, an eBay company and full-service e-commerce solution for SMBs.

However, this makeover wasn't about fashion and grooming. Instead, the winners, who were announced on June 13 at the annual eBay Live! convention, held this year at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas, received a complete overhaul of their online sales efforts. More than 500 entrepreneurs operating online or through brick-and-mortar stores submitted entries describing their businesses and products as well as why they needed an enhanced online presence.

"We wanted to [encourage] business owners to take advantage of a powerful small-business web solution designed to establish and build an online presence," says Julian Green, director of ProStores. "We are eager to educate entrepreneurs who want to further develop their businesses but don't know how to actualize their growth potential through online sales channels."
