In a 2016 study, 86% of marketers stated that they were planning to increase their upcoming email marketing budgets.

Social networks have been huge since the start of the decade. Facebook was the first behemoth that took off. Whatsapp followed, with a huge user base running into the billions.

Deep down many of us seek fame. Constant attention. Mass adoration. Approval on a grand scale. We get attached to the notion that our worth can be measured in breadth, not depth. Clicks and likes, over connection and intimacy. We try vainly to be “friends” with everybody, before we make friends with ourselves. Our heart may be closed, but our life is an open book on Facebook and Instagram.

One of the three common elements that plays a crucial SEO role in today’s ecommerce websites is layered navigation. Layered navigation (also referred to as faceted navigation, attribute filters, etc.) can have a positive or negative impact on your site’s crawlability , keyword breadth , and content duplication. Getting it right should be an important part of your SEO strategy.

What at first blush seems like a fun observation that all shoppers get intuitively actually packs a ton of insight into the irrational behaviors of human beings—insight you can put to your advantage with your online sales. To unpack the joke, we all get how the two offers above are logically equivalent but emotionally distinct.

In America one of the most obvious indicators that the holiday season is upon us are stores’ shift from autumn branding to lots of red. Sometimes even red and green. Or…in the most brazen scenarios, red, green, and snowflakes (or even Christmas trees!). The big shift begins typically right after Halloween although in some instances it begins earlier.

How can the small and mid-sized merchant succeed in an Amazon-first world? Wow, I get this question a lot! With Amazon Prime Day and the retail giant putting almost $3 billion in sales on the board this year, it is definitely a hot topic and one I don’t see going away anytime soon. The answer to that question? Understand where you create value, but more importantly you need to capture that value for yourself.

It’s intimidating and overwhelming to implement new technology — two reasons why retailers often avoid it at all costs.
