Let’s get started!

After months of frenzied activity, we’re thrilled to introduce to you a new and much-needed publication for online retailers. WebCents is the result of suggestions from our FabShop News subscribers­‑-shop owners and retailers searching for information to help them make their Internet retail businesses more successful.

Online retailers are plentiful and as the Internet continues to grow rapidly, there is a new sense of community and people are reaching out online, to both sell and buy. The market increases every year, opening up opportunities for both established retailers and new business owners.  Online sales aren’t slowing down and are, in fact, expected to top $279 billion within five years.

One reason for this expansion is the ease and flexibility of online shopping for consumers. Geographical boundaries are eliminated, ensuring that no matter where you are in the world, what you want is just a click away. As the market expands, it changes quickly, with new software and technology to learn, adaptations to old school marketing that seems to change on a dime, and intriguing ways to reach customers like never before. It’s an exciting new world out there and is determined to help you make sense of it.

Thanks for joining us on this new venture I’m looking forward to connecting with you and tailoring WebCents to your needs and interest. Drop me a line and let me know what you think about this issue and what you’d like to see in the future. We’re in this together–making your online retail business a success!
