Within a few weeks the rush of Christmas sales will be a memory, and it'll be time to rest and then plan how you can improve your online sales for the new year. In this issue I offer two reviews:
1Shopping Cart -- a popular ordering system used by small businesses
Persuasive Online Copywriting -- a slim, but great book on increasing your conversion rate.
I hope that your holiday season is not only financially rewarding for you B2C merchants, but also a time for thoughtful reflection on the real meaning behind all this hoopla. Done right, the spiritual riches can significantly outbalance the financial profits.
God bless you,
Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, Editor
P.S. I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with family this year. I know I did.
