Global Ecommerce touched USD 700B last year! The number of people who shop online keeps increasing, with 38% buying at least once per month. And with increasing popularity of Smartphones, Tablets & Ultrabooks, consumers have the power to buy what they want and when they want it.
This in turn adds more pressure on retailers: there are multiple channels to sell goods, and it’s vital to be up to speed in order to keep your customers and attract the new ones. Is your business up to speed?
TechMeetups organises its first EcomSummit in Dallas, London and New York. This is an opportunity to learn about ecommerce from startup companies working on innovative ecommerce solutions, and develop a deeper understanding from keynote speakers.
