A must read book for e-retailer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I read a lot of e-tail books and "e-Merchant: Retail strategies for e-commerce" is the best one I've read this year. This book doesn't has many "E-related" stuff, instead of that, the authors provide a step-by-step methodologies to explain how to build a successful e-retailer from strategy to implementation. For examply, the book provides the useful concepts about merchandising, inventory management, vendor relations, pricing, promotions and case studies that you'll need, it also included a useful CD-ROM with some useful tables.
