Even if you have an offline store, your online unique selling proposition (or unique selling point) can be different from your offline USP. Your target market can be entirely different online, including age, education level, location, and so on. Online shoppers also have unique concerns and objections that you can address.

I did a lot of research as I prepared to move to a more robust, reliable host for our Canadian websites.

By Jake Rheude We learned a lot in 2017 about where eCommerce is headed and what will impact its path.

Walmart has announced the expansion of its global online marketplace to Walmart Canada’s flagship online store, Walmart.ca. Access to their customers and increased visibility could help Canadian sellers level the playing field in a highly-competitive space.

Of those sales, Internet Retailer estimates $17.97 billion will be spent at Canadian online […]
