Bill D’Alessandro is joining me this week to review the biggest stories of the past month in the eCommerce world. Bill and I also spend some times discussing how OrderCircle is progressing and Bill’s latest eCommerce acquisition.
Join us as Bill and I discuss five of the biggest eCommerce stories that are making headlines (or will be soon) this month. We share our opinions on everything from where we believe Amazon is headed, and why we don’t believe they always have the lowest prices, to how to organize your businesses if you, like Bill and I, have multiple businesses.
