E-commerce can be a lonely road

Mike Cassidy

E-commerce is a fast-moving industry with pressure coming from all sides — competitors, market forces, investors, fickle fads and customers. There are answers out there — maybe too many. So many strategies, products, partners.

We plan to make e-commerce less lonely. Through this new, monthly newsletter, we want to create a community of e-commerce practitioners who are curious, engaged, unafraid to call B.S. and willing to share both their triumphs and their failures.

We think of it as the Better E-commerce community. What's that exactly? You. Your ideas. Your questions. Your fears. Your war stories.

We'll do our part by bringing you stories that highlight the best thinking and practices in e-commerce. To kick things off we'll explore the notion that the customer experience doesn't stop at the buy button.

E-commerce is hard. We're here to help.
