E-Commerce News

Good news for online retailers. Online sales are growing. According to an InternetNews article, 2004 Holiday sales beat 2003 by $4.7 billion. Another article, from Internet Retailer, reports an increase of $3.5 billion (and smaller numbers overall). I guess it depends on when "the Holidays" start, when they end, and what counts as "Holiday shopping". Either way, money is being made online in ever increasing amounts.

And I did not get nearly enough of that pie...

However, there is hope for the future. Take, for example, this heart-warming story about Joint Ventures and Advertising costs from E-Commerce Guide. If you're looking for ways to stretch your advertising dollars you will like this article. Very creative, yet simple and do-able.

Much better than those scammy traffic schemes you see everywhere.
