Today's Story Highlights

How Vulnerable Is Your E-Business to Employee-Assisted Fraud?
We made it. The holiday shopping season is here once again! This is a
great opportunity for you as an e-commerce retailer. If you're like many
other merchants out there, the run-up to Christmas is one of the most
profitable, and busiest, times of the year. You may need some extra help
to handle the surge in traffic and maximize your return. That means
hiring seasonal employees.

The Secret Ingredient for Social Media Success: Elbow Grease
Many people would like to know the ingredients of the secret sauce that
will get their Twitter and LinkedIn follower lists to grow. I just
started using these services a few years ago, and I have tried some
things that proved successful. I have learned from other successful
users as well. Here are a few ideas that have worked for me. First,
here's an update on my current status.

Resellers, It's Not Too Late - Here's How to Get a New Marketplace Up and Running for the Holidays
With the holidays approaching, many resellers may think it's too late to
set up or expand their marketplaces to take advantage of the holiday
rush. That is not the case. If you leverage the right technology, you
can accelerate the process of setting up your marketplace from weeks to
hours, and never have to hold any inventory. For social influencers, e-
commerce success can have an amplified effect.

The 4-Step Method for Developing Strong Product Content
Many brick-and-mortar shops have been expanding their business to the
online realm. It's no wonder why, considering global retail e-commerce
sales are expected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2021. However, brands
making the move first need to consider the differences between brick-
and-mortar and e-commerce, and implement SMEA: set up, manage, enrich
and audit.

Oracle OpenWorld: Margin Lab
Markets grow at the margins. This bit of sage advice was given to me at
the start of my analyst career, and it has kept me in good nick for
nearly two decades. Of course the focus has drifted over time but that's
the point: The CRM market has evolved, and the job of an analyst is to
make sense of the evolution. Oracle OpenWorld 2018 held in San Francisco
this week is a laboratory for the margin.

7 Priceless E-Commerce Tips for Small Businesses
From big companies to small-town mom-and-pop shops to "mompreneurs"
working from home, e-commerce is the key to keeping revenue streams
flowing and businesses afloat. In fact, e-commerce is really the only
way for you to ensure your business' longevity these days, especially if
you are a small retailer. Why? Because your customers don't always live
in your neighborhood.
