Today's Story Highlights

Amazon Drops Lowest-Pricing Rule for Third-Party Sellers
Amazon reportedly has removed the price parity contract clause that
barred third-party vendors on its platform from selling their products
at a lower price elsewhere. The company long has been accused of
anticompetitive behavior and has come under considerable political
pressure because of its use of the price parity, also known as "most
favored nation," restriction.

Millennial CRM
Trying to do business without also having a modern CRM system is like
walking around naked. You can do it, at least for a little while, but
people will begin to think you're weird -- and the trouble is, those
people are all potential customers. CRM is essential today because,
despite our reverence for the free market, it's really more like free
markets -- plural.

Warren Dons Tech-Buster Mantle
Tech giants like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple would be broken up
under a proposal from U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. "Today's big tech
companies have too much power -- too much power over our economy, our
society, and our democracy," the Democratic presidential hopeful wrote
in an online post. Warren has called for legislative remedies to address
the problems.

A Lesson From Amazon: Alternative Revenue Streams Work
There's a reason that Amazon's stock skyrocketed 28 percent in 2018, a
notable outlier amid the broader market trends. The behemoth retailer is
bolstered by a few key differentiators when stacked against the
competition -- but let's backtrack for a moment to examine the state of
the current online marketplace. In truth, there's an expectation in the
market that buying online is cheaper.

Is Your Site Mobile Perfect? How to Catch Buyers Who Never Stand Still
Mobile search and buying continue to grow as the chosen means for
consumers' online shopping, with the market set to reach an estimated
$218 billion in 2019. By 2021, it's estimated that 72.9 percent of
online purchases will be made on a mobile device . If you factor in the
Millennial and Generation Z demographics, virtually all sales soon will
be mobile-generated.
